Nice truckstop you got there. I work in WV, but all the way up in Weirton.

I enjoy mocking my coworkers every time Pitt football and basketball delivers a nice thumping.
Ouch you just had to go there. Yeah Weirton is a nice area I have family there. Yeah our whole town is designed around those interstates basically, we even have a Hooters now.

welcome to our humble forum, Ablaze!

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Well, technically, the question should be "Now did Joshua actually make the earth stand still and stop rotating, or did he actually make the sun rotate around the earth?"

Oh, and welcome to the forum.
The Earth did not rotate in Josh's time.

Interesting, was the Earth a sphere or a disk at this point in time?

All of the most influential scientific studies of the time concluded that the Earth was a hyper-disk that was magically both round and had four corners at the same time.

Hello, I arrived here yesterday after some mild debate with my brother. He was challenging me to explain"The Miracle of the Sun" at Fatima so I googled a few key phrases and ended up here. I spent a good portion of my idle time today reading the boards and just had to jump on in.

I'm a recovering Catholic, 24 years old, and attending college to become a Science Teacher. I'm looking forward to being able to talk with you all.
Welcome to the forum. Having been infected by Christ-psychosisCatholicism is a big plus for now you are aware of this neurological anomaly & its destructive intellectually stagnant meme.

Christians and other folks infected with delusional beliefs think and reason like schizophrenics or temporal lobe epileptics. Their morality is dictated by an invisible friend called Jesus.
