I came upon this entry on google while looking for something else. 🤔

1. Your link doesn't work.

Try it again.

[Soph0571]

2. Still doesn't work n/t

[MineralMan]

3. I guess there's no afterlife there, then.

Maybe the poster will find it somewhere else.

[sprinkleeninow]

4. I'm workin' onnit. My email opens fine.

Something with http or https mb on DU.

[sprinkleeninow]

5. tee many martoonis

https http etcetera etcetera

[MineralMan]

6. Nope. That page doesn't exist at that domain.

I checked. It's a really poorly-designed, old-school website, so there could be any number of reasons.

ETA: Well, I see you corrected your misspelling and now the page is visible. Boy, 1997-style websites are ugly.

[sprinkleeninow]

7. I edited and it opened fine.

[sprinkleeninow]

8. What, y'all 'sittin' on the phone'? (Old school saying.) Y'all too fast for me! 😉

[sprinkleeninow]

9. My DU linking showed an https:// AND an http://. It was moi .

Sorry 'bout that. 🤗

[MineralMan]

10. No. The problem was the page "afterlife.htm"

That's what your original link said. There is no such page. The page is afterdeath.htm. When you corrected that the link worked. Nothing to do with http:// https://. The site isn't secure, so if you use https:// your browser will fall back to http://

However, your browser can't change afterlife to afterdeath

You can still see the original version of the post by clicking the Thread Info button.

11. Is that what I did? D'oh. I ingested too much caffeine. Pupils are dilated.

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. "However, your browser can't change afterlife to afterdeath "

That's just what Big Browser wants you to think ...

[sprinkleeninow]

16. 😄

[guillaumeb]

21. Yes, it does.

[MineralMan]

23. Read the thread.

That's always best before commenting.

[guillaumeb]

24. Follow your own advice is also good advice, agreed?

13. It's hard to assign credibility when the math doesn't even add up

Matthew 12:40 New International Version (NIV)

40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jesus was entombed on Good Friday (or Great Friday) afternoon and resurrected on Easter Sunday morning.

The explanation for this is nothing short of comical and involves "god time" which is not unlike fuzzy math.

[MineralMan]

14. Time doesn't count in the Bible.

In fact, counting and math isn't strong in that book, where Pi is equal to the integer 3.

Now, three is a very rough estimation of Pi, but anyone with some string and any circular thing know's it's not an accurate estimate. The knowledge of how to draw a circle with a piece of string and something to hold one end is ancient. Equally ancient is the understanding that multiplying the diameter of a circle by three won't get you a string long enough to wrap around the circular thing. You need a fraction more than that.

Every wheelwright understands that, and soon learns to estimate that additional fraction very closely. So, even in biblical times, it was clear that the integer 3 is not an accurate way to estimate the relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. It was never correct.

And yet, there that number is, and has been for thousands of years, despite the common knowledge that it is wrong.

15. Explained more fully than I could have. Here please:

18. As I said, fuzzy math helps

[sprinkleeninow]

19. Bye! 😉

[sprinkleeninow]

17. P.S. Males ARE more advantaged than females. But we're

'rising' for the overtaking. 😁

*Mary and the WOMEN went to the 'tomb' for additional anointing with spices, and found Him gone.* The males were too chicken-skeered to go over there. 😊

[Major Nikon]

20. Probably because they had greater risk

...of being mounted to lumber. Still it does call into question their commitment to the cause.

[sprinkleeninow]

25. You question their commitment to what cause.

The cause of the climb of unflinching women?

[guillaumeb]

22. Metaphor is a marvelous thing.

[Major Nikon]

27. Particularly when they so easily explain obvious errors

So if we can simply derive any meanings we want, how do we know The holy zombie isn't the bad guy and Satan is the good guy? Maybe you've been mixing too many of your metaphors and have it all backwards.

[Iggo]

26. The L.A. County Jail counts that as three days.

[guillaumeb]

28. Metaphor.

I know that some of the non-theistic Biblical literalists do not accept the role of metaphor, but many theists do.

[Major Nikon]

29. Of course they do. Makes it easier to derive whatever meaning you want.
