God created man 6000 years ago and he made man a pooper. Yeah right.
There could have been many other ways to design animals so that they would burn off what we ate and drank without pooping and peeing it out.
There are probably many life forms in the universe that have no conception of shit and urine. Maybe they were created by God. We weren't.

I JUST JOINED A NEW FORUM
I want to bond with my Atheist brethren so I joined http://ravingatheist.com/forum/
I just want to see if it is as enjoyable as the Yahoo Israel Palestinian boards. So far I'm finding it is a slow moving forum.
Answer to the trivia quiz is zero. One thing I found odd is that Imagine never made the Billboard 100 for either 1971 or 1972.
Two of the songs which really started getting me to think about atheism were Imagine and We're Here For a Good Time (not a long time). They both came out around the time I was taking a crash course in Hebrew for my Bar Mitzvah.
But I attribute my final push into a godless world was high school English and Physics.
Existentialism and the infinite universe turned me into a true non-believer.

THE BIBLE (New Testament this time)
It was written a few hundred years after Christ died by people with an agenda to convert as many into the Christian flock.
Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, etc all had/have agendas too.
The four books contradict themselves in many places (though I'm not an NT scholar), because much of it if not all of it is subjective, not objective.
It has been 60 years since the Holocaust and people with agendas write it didn't happen. And there are millions of papers and thousands of actual pictures and movies that prove it did happen. There are only one or two historical documents written during Jesus' lifetime that even mentions him, or someone like him.
I wonder what word of mouth over 200 years would produce for the bible writers. My wife changes what I said after 10 minutes sometimes.
Also, it wasn't written in English, when translated it got another dose of subjectivity by those with an agenda.
Everyone who wrote the NT and OT believed in a flat earth and that the universe revolved around the earth. Dinosaurs weren't discovered until the early 1800's.
How can anyone take the bible literally. It boggles my mind.

MUSIC TRIVIA TIME
The Billboard 100 historically had been the best selling singles on a per week and a per year basis.
The Beatles broke up in 1970, well really 1969.
In 1970, they had two songs in the top 100; The Long and Winding Road and Hey Jude.
John Lennon made it as a solo artist with Instant Karma. And a McCartney/Lennon song also hit the charts too; Come and Get It performed by Badfinger. It was popular because of the movie The Magic Christian, which was a very creative comedy about greed. Ringo Starr was in that movie along with some dude named Peter Sellers.
OK, I still haven't given my question yet.
In 1971, the Beatles were no more. George Harrison had a hit on the Billboard 100; My Sweet Lord, which incidently later got him into court because the melody was very similar to He's So Fine, a song that came out in 1963 . The court decided it was in fact a plagiarism. George and Ringo got together in It Don't Come Easy and McCartney made the list with Another Day and one of my favorites at the time (I was 10); Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. The Uncle Albert part wasn't that great, and still isn't.
Here is the question. How many songs performed by ex-Beatles made the Billboard 100 in the year 1972?

WHAT ARE FUTURE HISTORIANS GONNA SAY
About Arab terrorism and suicide bombers to be exact?
Seriously, their culture is so screwed up. They get young people for the most part to blow up in front of innocent people.
I'll guarantee that the masterminds average age is much higher than those who are committing the bombings. It is a matter of brainwashing. And it starts with the culture, one that promotes death and hatred.
I'm sick of hearing about these bombings. Something has to be done. Arabs and Muslims should be speaking up. If they don't, it is a sign that they condone this crap.
Are they scared to speak up or do they condone it? I have to assume they condone it. Human beings have to be touched about innocent lives being taken out like this.
In two thousand years, we could be remembered as being a slight step above the caveman. And it is the Arab culture that makes everyone primitive.
