The Mark Upon Cain!
You could be close to spot on.
Sounds a bit kinda like a fore runner.
No, I don't bleat the barcode.
It will come soon enough, but I doubt it will be any B&W lines (visible or invisible) that will be IT.
You'd have to be living in a cave to not see that it's a logical "next step" to solve many economic (and other) woes of our time.
I mean, how much CASH do the majority of people use these days?
That stat alone should be evidence enough clue as tp where it's all leading.
I thought ribs were red-brown, sticky and -if cooked right- fall of the bone good. (oh, wait, are we talking bbq ribs or actual human bones) j/k.
Mutations? emm, no comment. lol.
The pale skin, blue eyed, anorexic depiction of [Jesus] is from the South Caucus / Macedon concepts, Alexander especially, passed on to the Romans and Greeks. Remember, Alexander was awed by the people of India and southern regions like Egypt, because he looked like the 'sun' compared to them, who had dark skin and eyes. During the Renaissance, anglo-roman influence came through iconic art (of which my mum was a huge fan & student) was whitewashed people, using an eggshell and chalk based paint to make them stand out against the 'red' of the 'devil'.
James.
ps, now am in the mood for ribs an slaw. thanks
I think there was big crowd, that time, don't you think? First there was woman available to Cain to marry. Mark is not needed if only few people are on the earth. Bless you.
PS. Adam and Eve were fertile and had many children. The same with their children. Before flood there was about billion people by calculation.
I've told him several times to live up to his name &
"get it right!!" I think you show that quite well by yourself.
id rather you be a mindless blind follower and getsomethingsright for a change.
I'm sure some imaginary entity has talked to you
Getitrite, you make a good point, here. I would think that no one on this planet has the correct interpretation of the entire Bible, especially not you.
You and your skeptical cohorts act as if you know it all. Or is that merely ego-pumping? Hmm-m-m...
You've told us what you don't need. But what do you need? More ways to stroke your own ego -- to make yourself right and others with whom you disagree wrong? What a life! But I guess someone has to live it, huh? Good luck with that trick.
There's a lot more in the Bible than you will ever guess. But that's right, you don't need such things. So, why are you even here? Soaking up more ego with your buds? Very funny.
Sure, you may have run into a whole lot of Fundamentalists who couldn't hold a logical candle next to you. They take the Bible literally wrong, so why shouldn't you? What if someone presented you with a logical, thoughtful discussion of philosophy and religion? Could you even handle it? Or would the lure of ego be too strong?Gosh, you religious people are funny. You think you know something no one else knows and then don't get that telling people that you know something special that they cannot grasp - and then accuse them of being egotistical because they came to their own conclusions about your majik book is guaranteed to cause a fight - and the exact ego stroking behavior they accuse others of.
Now present a logical argument instead of making personal attacks to defend your nonsensical beliefs.
Go on - I dare ya.My dear Evolution Guy! What a lovely idea. No more personal attacks? You really promise? Or are you just sucker baiting?
I guess I could generalize, too, but it's so unintelligent.
"You skeptical people" sounds so pretentious, but you're an individual, right? You have your own experiences, knowledge and intelligence, right? So, why do you lump me in with all the other "religious people?" Have you read any of my writing, besides the tit-for-tat here in the forum? 
I would love to present logical arguments. That's my main purpose. But it seems that so many of the non-religious individuals enjoy making insults. Shucks! And I guess I wanted to try it out, too. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm only assuming that you enjoy such things. Was that an incorrect assumption? And if you do enjoy such things, as so many seem to, then I've made my point. Score 1 for logic.
If you really want a logical argument, I'd love to debate with you. You can find me. But if all you can bring to the table are statements like "nonsensical beliefs" and "I dare ya," then you are not as intelligent as I thought.
I would love to be wrong on that one! If you really want the dare, you can find me. If you never show up, then I'll know how shallow your dare was.
Correct! Being that the bible is irrelevant, primitive nonsense.
Say something to support your position, and stop with the childish nonsensical misinformation...based purely on conjecture. Thank you.
More childish drivel from a VERY angry believer!
Boy you are really p!ssed that your religion is nonsense, and it is causing such a trauma in your psyche. Makes you feel like you might have to make decisions for yourself, huh? How frightening that must be for you!
But your position is just as ridiculous as the fanatical fundamentalist...and it's quite disturbing that you actually believe that you are LOGICAL!
I hope you are not advocating that you present such a discussion. Judging by your insane statements on this forum, this is a waste of time...and extremely laughable.
Some people are legends in their own...mind!More childish drivel from a VERY angry believer!
Who's angry
have a nice day
Good point, that would make the creation story in the bible false.
Einstein would groan at that hollow logic.
Genesis 5:2 is one small clue that you guys are taking things too literally. Of course, you're not taking it too seriously, either. But that's your problem, now isn't it? You miss out on all the fun. Puffing up your egos has got to be hard work.
Like Einstein said, imagination is more valuable than knowledge. And the way you guys treat knowledge, you're in dire need of a whole lot of imagination. Einstein started out with a good dose of humility, but he failed to recognize the value of that. It might have helped him save face when later confronted with quantum mechanics.
As it is, Einstein later lost all credibility with his peers. He had the imagination, knowledge and intelligence, but lost his humility. Do you guys even know how to spell "humility," or has ego-pumping got you blind to that word?
And it takes humility to find answers. Einstein had it in his youth.We can all see your humility lonestarr!
Quick someone give this man a mirror!And instead of talking about the topic of this forum, all you can do is poke fun. Very funny, my humble earnestness!
Your ego must be as big as a mountain... no, a planet, by now! Whew!
Do I still have an ego? You betcha! But I don't want it, like you guys seem to.
Mirror? I welcome it. Have you tried it, lately?
And back to the topic at hand, if that is not too much of a burden. Did you even look up Genesis 5:2?Hey bad boy, I don't need to look it up.
You sure are gonna come off a bad ninth in this little war of words. You shouldn't come unarmed like this. You are about as transparent as glass.
It must take a lot of humility to point out the lack of humility in others?
Very intelligent, Kirsten. Ego is such a burden. I learn more about my own every time I attempt to carry on a logical discussion in one of these forums. Humble? Only on a good day, and today is not one of them.
How about your own ego? Have you looked in a mirror, lately? Do you see more than that pretty face staring back at you? Something on the other side of those eyes?
And on the subject of this thread, what do you think of Genesis 5:2? How does it explain more people on Earth than Adam, Eve and Cain?
He placed a dark mark right, a bruise from bouncing his head off the ground in repentance, in the center of his fore-head... sound familiar to any muslims? hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ah it is too early to laugh so hard.hehe
naughty
You must be just oozing humility I see.
Thanks, Earnest. You've pointed out the obvious. You win a gold star!
But nowhere in any of the religious forums have I seen you add anything meaningful to the conversation. In fact, it seems you enjoy dishing out such ascerbic wit and snide ego, yourself. I think my point is made by your presence.
Have you even mentioned the "mark upon Cain?" Or is an intellectual discussion about the topic at hand beneath your lofty ego?
You have been here over a year and that's all ya got?
You will disappear up your log again when the going gets going.whatever
but i did like the fact he noticed your lack of intelligent debate or even meaningful conversation (unless you are applauding some atheist bedfellow for being likewise deceived as yourself)
acerbic wit and snide ego... you do indeed reap what you sow huh.
maybe its time after all these years to forgo with your acerbic wit and snide ego or are they too comfy for ya
I see where lone77 is coming from and the point that he tells it like it is is not antichristian nor is it puffed up or egotistical.. its just fair.
