Litterly, they stink!

What do you guys think the smell is? I mean it isn't Natural Gas, and well, what the hell is it?

Your momma.

I did NOT just go there!

It is immediately apparent that this is an instance of divine intervention. God is sending an olfactory warning to the New Yorkers who conform to the culture of immoral secularism; it is similar to what Mr. Robertson predicted would happen. If they persist in their ungodly ways, I am sure the penalties would be worse. I, for one, am annoyed when they didn't accept God's message in the aftermath of 9/11, when it was obvious that God was reprimanding them for their nihilistic hedonism. They're running out of strikes.

Hey you're pretty funny. Too bad that kind of dry wit is underappreciated on the internet.

That is quite humorous. Nonetheless, I feel honor-bound to point out that the "scientific community" is baffled and cannot offer a plausible explanation. Therefore, it must be an act of God.

I can see it now ...

GOD: Repent, ye sinners! As I sent your Twin Towers crumbling to the ground even as Joshua struck down the walls of Jericho, now I send you this abominable stench from the very Bowels of Hell!

TYPICAL NEW YORKER: You talkin' t' me? Huh? Yeah, you, you talkin' t' me? You must be 'cause there ain't nobody else here.

That's nice. Now provide some evidence that the "scientific community" has exausted all measures and "cannot" offer a plausible explanation. Oh, wait. You're of the type that wants all research to stop to make the claim "goddidit".

You should really put a "j/k" when you're joking so you don't freak me out.

Lets hope nobody does anything stupid... like light a match or lighter. :eek:

From what I hear, lighting a few matches might not be a bad idea.

Lightning was, and still remains, and act of God. The physical mechanism by which God controls the universe does not negate the fact that he can do whatever he chooses. It rains because God decries that it should be so; to accomplish his task, he employs the earthly physics of high-pressure and low-pressure systems, combined with a multitude of other factors.

I will bear that suggestion in mind. I can assure you, however, that my fealty to our Lord is unwavering and most certainly not an attempt at sacrilegious jest.

Why? Why doesn't he just call water into existence and throw it at the ground? I know I'd be somewhat more likely to believe in an omnipotent superbeing if crap like that started happening.

Are you sure God likes being the cause of 9/11? I'd think he'd rather not take that blame.

Ok now you are trolling, because you did the most "agrivating to liberals" slogan ever when it was so obviously not needed: "it's not explained yet so God did it". You are obviously acting.

Why? Why doesn't he just call water into existence and throw it at the ground? I know I'd be somewhat more likely to believe in an omnipotent superbeing if crap like that started happening.

That's why it's called faith. God could simply declare his existence if he so desired, but he instead opts to separate the believers and the God-fearing men from the others by only showing himself to the most meriting men. The reward for obedience to his word in the absence of proof of his being is Heaven; the punishment for a lack thereof is Hell.

God, obviously being an omniscient entity, was aware of 9/11. Yet he took no action to impede the progress of the ghastly terrorist act. He must have had an ulterior motive for allowing the process to proceed. I assume that this mysterious rationale is similar to what Mr. Robertson suggested: New York was being punished for its sins.

It is a most strange smell indeed. :confused:

I have not heard that particular hypothesis posited prior to your mentioning it. Have you seen such a transformation first-hand? Do you have an eyewitness account of a similar metamorphisis? Although I would like to believe you, it seems to be a dubious claim. I do not simply blindly accept such assertions without questioning them, as a matter of course.

How did a city sin? Were the buildings fornicating or something?

That is a false generalization; I never implied anything remotely similar. If all good people believe in God, that does not necessarily mean that only good people believe in God.

It smells like 10 billion year old regurgitated spinach.

Uh-huh.

Buildings are inorganic, non-living entities, and are thus incapable of any form of reproduction. Furthermore, as they lack a brain, they are incapable of offending God. Only brainy creatures can dismay our Lord. No, the people of the city were the ones being punished.

Uh-huh.

Is that an affirmation of having actually seen this yourself or having a reliable source which to cite? If so, please, do share. Otherwise, make your answers less ambiguous in the future.

Yeah, God hates New York. That's why He said He loved everybody. He's definatly trying to kill them all because they are the worst people on earth.

Seriously RuleCaucasia, are you trying to make the rest of us who believe in God look like we think we're better than everyone else? If you are, I think it's working.

For an allegedly omnipotent being God appears to have considerable selfworth issues. Why should he care if we believe in him or not, or obey him or not? I don't step on insects because they don't do what I say.

God, being an omniscient entity, knew before he created existence, such as it is, the extent to which humanity would believe in and obey him and all the reasons this would be so. Despite this knowledge he went ahead and created existence as we know it, creating all those sinners and unbelievers and all the situations that cause them, directly or indirectly, to sin and unbelieve. And despite causing the sinner to sin and not repent, God punishes them anyway.

And something else, if God is omniopotent, then why does he punish New York as a whole, instead of just the sinners?

Dude, your skyfairy sucks.

Oh... I'd rather not get less ambiguous because I'd probably get forum banned for it.

A parent may love a child and yet spank him/her. God may love New York, but at the same time crash a couple of planes into its biggest buildings.

So why did we attack Iraq (lets not discuss that stupidity)? It seems our aggression should have been pointed skyward.

And thats where belief in organised religion or God falls. Shall I tell you why? God seems like a unconfident being who needs people to belive in him so he can feel good about himself. Sending people to Hell just seems to make him a bully.

Back to the OP: Anyone on here from New York who could describe the smell?

A parent may love a child and yet spank him/her. God may love New York, but at the same time crash a couple of planes into its biggest buildings.Right...

You do realize that makes no sense?

Well if Adams pet snake hadn't been tempting Eve all that time then she wouldn't had sucked on his fruit and drank the juices.

When I was outside I kept on getting random dizziness and head aches... but was told it wasn't because of the smell...

He inspired them to commit the atrocity, however.

ROFLMFAO! Well played indeed.

Yeah, and by choosing sin, they caused it for the rest of us. God gave them the choice. He didn't want a bunch of brainwashed robots. He wanted people that choose to love him.

Why, why would he do that? What has new york done? Why is "secularism" punishable by such horrible torment and death? Do you think the children deserved to die? What did they do?

My work here is done. :)

He inspired them to commit the atrocity, however.

Remind me to go to church and thank God for that. Terrorists are so cool! They're just trying to get us to love the one true Christian God by showing us how backwards the Muslim God is. Jesus Fucking Christ Nailed to a Tree Branch! It was in front of us the whole time.

He inspired them to commit the atrocity, however.

Yeah. Definately. God told them to go kill a bunch of people even though murder is against the ten commandments.

Yeah, and by choosing sin, they caused it for the rest of us. God gave them the choice. He didn't want a bunch of brainwashed robots. He wanted people that choose to love him.


But he initially created sin, and gave them the option to choose it or not. As he created everthing in the universe, unless of course you don't believe in sin as a seperate entity.

And this is why you're not a God.


Rub it in, why don't you. It's not as if I hadn't endured enough insult from R.C.

Remember when God used to be all loving?

He remains to be all-loving; however, he seeks to correct immoral behavior in his children, and minor admonishments didn't work (the failed WTC bombing in the 90s) so he was forced to upgrade to more stringent measures.

Yeah, He created it, but they caused it to happen. You wouldn't think it would be too hard to stay away from one tree. and wouldn't you get just a little suspicious when a snake started talking to you?

He created them, and the tree, and the snake. God is responsible for all the factors here. He knew that Adam and Eve would eat from the tree, and he knew why, but he went and created the tree and the snake and Adam and Eve anyway.

They'd only been alive for what, a day and a half? How were they to know snakes can't talk?

I don't remember how long it was. I could find out on Wednesday if you really want to know. Since Adam named all the animals and everything, I'm pretty sure he'd know if they could talk.

He created them, and the tree, and the snake. God is responsible for all the factors here. He knew that Adam and Eve would eat from the tree, and he knew why, but he went and created the tree and the snake and Adam and Eve anyway.

What was the tree doing there anyway?

He remains to be all-loving; however, he seeks to correct immoral behavior in his children, and minor admonishments didn't work (the failed WTC bombing in the 90s) so he was forced to upgrade to more stringent measures.

No. He remains all needy and seeks the acceptance of the people. He has issues should he exist.

What was the tree doing there anyway?

The tree was an innocent bystander caught between the Snake/Eve situation.

Well, another thread hijacked by our resident troll.

If God was really trying to correct moral behavior, he could do it with the click of his fingers being omnipotent. He can do anything remember, he does not need to crash a plane into a building killing thousands of people to correct immoral behaviour.

It's not that important, but thanks for offering. I imagine I could look it up when I get home. I don't think time was a major consideration before the Fall, anyway.

What a terrible parent. Punishing his children without explaining to them what they've done wrong. Worse, he knew they were going to be exactly like this, and he's punishing them anyway. That's like asking your child to bring you a drink, then tripping them up, then beating them for spilling the drink they were carrying.

Believe it or not, God doesn't cause all bad things to happen. It's mainly our fault. They've been saying God needs to see a shrink. I think it might be a good idea for you.

I believe such behavior would get you serious jail time and the kids would be in foster care faster than you could say, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"

No, not for not loving him. For eating the fruit off the tree.
That's even more disturbing, because it's arbitrary.

I would have gone for a vending machine with an infinite supply of something that tastes like chocolate, but is really really healthy. A slide would be good too.

But it's more fun that way. At least for the deviant RC worshipps.

Why would moral behavior need to be corrected?

I believe such behavior would get you serious jail time and the kids would be in foster care faster than you could say, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"

Actually, transferring children to the custody of foster guardians is a long and tedious process, hampered by the presence of large quantities of bureaucratic paperwork. Unless you are an extremely slow talker, that statement is false.

But it's more fun that way. At least for the deviant RC worshipps.

I think the funnies thing you could do is to play that frequency really loudly that makes everyone shit themselves :p

Did you mean to write "moral behavior" or "immoral behavior"? Remember, you're talking to RC, he takes everything exactly as written, even when a typo is obvious.

It's really funny if you think about it! Ha ha ha! Because, like, you say something sarcastically and then he pretends not to understand it and tells you that you just said something that wasn't true. The thing you said wouldn't work in the real world. Because, he's pretending to take you seriously. Because its funny. Really, really funny. And doesn't get old. It doesn't immediately get old. Ha Ha!

Did you mean to write "moral behavior" or "immoral behavior"? Remember, you're talking to RC, he takes everything exactly as written, even when a typo is obvious.

whoopsie

Why would moral behavior need to be corrected?
Why would immoral behaviour need to be corrected? Morality is subjective afterall.
Actually, transferring children to the custody of foster guardians is a long and tedious process, hampered by the presence of large quantities of bureaucratic paperwork. Unless you are an extremely slow talker, that statement is false.

It's called hyperbole. Unless I'm confusing terms.

You should know that exaggeration, or the twisting of facts to suit your ends, is devilish manipulation of the English language. You should strictly adhere to the word of God and seek to be as truthful as possible. Although I am cognizant of the colloquial meaning of "I am so hungry that I could consume a horse," that does not make it an honest statement to make unless you are an obese man.

Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.

Of course I do. Given that language is an approximation of thoughts through symbolic manipulation, then humor results from the gap between the expectations inherent in those symbols and the breaking of those expectations.

Last time I checked, the bible didn't say anything about exaggerating when its not being used to trick someone. Do you just assume we are all male? 'cause if you do, I'm offended.

I assume you are referring to the character in Star Wars. However, I am clearly not an automaton, so such a comparison would be utterly inapt. Was it intended as a compliment to my intelligence or as an insult?

But you originally said New York City was being punished. So you didn't mean that actually but instead the colloquial meaning that the residents were being punished. At least you admit you're not honest.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, actually. A compliment? No, not really, but not an insult, either. I will give you this, if you are not like this in real life, you have amazing patience in maintaining the charade. If you are, I feel sorry for you, you sad little person, I really do. Even your Jesus would be appalled by you, by the sadness you have made of his teachings.

Look! It's somebody on topic!

Heh ... natural gas, the kind that you use in stoves and furnaces, doesn't actually smell bad, if it smells at all. That "gas smell" is added to it by the gas company so you notice that there's a leak. There are odorizers along the distribution lines that add whatever the nasty-smelling chemical is.

Although a tenuous grasp of the English language is not necessarily indicative of a lack of intelligence, it displays intellectual indolence. Perhaps you might consider my style of writing to border on fustian, but I judge it to be euphonious. I like to use a salmagundi of words in my speech, whether it is necessary or not. If such usage can improve your vocabulary, I would be ecstatic at the prospect.

Edit: I am using excessively arcane words to further illustrate my concept; however, I usually employ a more restricted vocabulary. I just resent my being called a "robot" simply because I might use several words which are infrequently heard in everyday life. Many people in real life have made similar derogatory remarks because of my comportment, and it pains me to receive such a verbal blow here.

Must be really bad for people to notice the difference from the normal polluted smell. ;)

It is immediately apparent that this is an instance of divine intervention. God is sending an olfactory warning to the New Yorkers who conform to the culture of immoral secularism; it is similar to what Mr. Robertson predicted would happen. If they persist in their ungodly ways, I am sure the penalties would be worse. I, for one, am annoyed when they didn't accept God's message in the aftermath of 9/11, when it was obvious that God was reprimanding them for their nihilistic hedonism. They're running out of strikes.

Perhaps I am branded a "troll" in this cloistered, secluded community which is a breeding ground of atheism, liberalism, and everything which is wrong with the world. However, over 90% of the world ascribes to some moral or religious standard as I do. Perhaps they are misguided in their worshiping of false idols, but at least they persevere in their attempts to live according to sound fundamental precepts. Yes, you already live in that world which you describe, although you wouldn't know it by perusing this forum. It might be wise to explore the portion of the US which is known as the "Bible Belt" for its inhabitants' devotion to God to ascertain the extent of our religious convictions. We are not to be trifled with and we are certainly not liars. However, I am puzzled as to why a world which abides by the laws of God would haunt your nightmares? Did you mean "dreams" or is this simply a complex joke of which that term was the "punchline"?

No you haven't, and no I'm not. Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position!

Answer my remarks if you will not accept them. Not answering is equal to accepting them.

I'm simply fearful of people who need an imaginary being to punish them to keep them moral.

I adhere to the precepts set out in the Bible not because I am afraid that failure to comply with those laws would result in an eternity of hellfire, but rather because I strive to better myself in all ways that I can. That includes accepting and attempting to spread the ultimate word of morality. I do what I do because it's right, not because I am a coward.

I'm agnostic and liberal and am considered a moral person.

You may outwardly appear moral, but inside your soul probably lies the decaying and rotting remains of your conscience, irredeemably blackened by your years of sinning. God is not fooled your transparent fabrications of morality; he will know whether you have lived your life by the Bible or not.

If Bob killed Sue, we can safely state that Bob is a murderer without judging him. However, we cannot say that he is inferior to us lest we break the precepts of God. We must not allow the actions of an individual to influence our vision of their worth; however, we can point out that certain actions are inappropriate, wrong, immoral, and damaging to the wholesomeness of one's soul.

I certainly do not imply that all religious people are like me; most are more lax in their interpretation of the holy texts, and they let their moral standards slide for hedonistic benefit in the world which we currently inhabit. They place themselves over God on many occasions. I, however, am above such frivolities and I strictly conform to the word of God and never deviate in my devotion. If morality horrifies you, then I suggest taking a long praying and soul-cleansing session to gain more perspective and insight on the issue. God loves you; don't abuse his avuncular interest in you by turning your back to him. Also, my parents share religious views which are quite similar to mine.

Irellevant, you implied it without realising (although you probably did in reality, seeing as you are a troll). And no, you cannot blanket "morallity" into what you believe, morallity is a subjective term after all.

Well, it appears the mysterious smell might be coming from swamp gases emmited from the Meadowlands just outside Manhattan. How did such a simple, funny topic get hijacked by the retards on the God Patrol??:headbang:

morallity is a subjective term after all.

Morality is the strictness of one's adherence to the precepts set forth by God in the Bible. It is most definitely not subjective.

In you're opinion that is.

Now, RC, will you reconsider your baseless statements about a perverted god?

Morality is the strictness of one's adherence to the precepts set forth by God in the Bible. It is most definitely not subjective.

No, it isn't. Morality is living according to an ethos of not harming people, regardless of a god. If you don't like it, if you want to take it to a higher authority, there isn't one: It stops with me!

No, it isn't. Morality is living according to an ethos of not harming people, regardless of a god. If you don't like it, if you want to take it to a higher authority, there isn't one: It stops with me!

Morallity is dependent on your beliefs only. Good and bad may or may not be universals but no one can really prove which actions are universally good or bad without contradictions.

Good enough, I can live with that. But the Bible is not morality any more than Harry Potter is.
