Then there were the divine beings that were wandering around and having demigod children. The Old Testament was so awesome with it's incest and plagues and sacrificing. I'm going to wager Jim Bob skips the Lott stories at the evening Bible study, though.

Actually, Lott offering up his daughters to the slavering rape hoard would probably fit well with his ideology. Same with his wife getting turned to salt. Lott getting date raped by his daughters though? That'll get skipped over.

It's sad when you think about how the Duggars could have dugged 9/11, and people probably would have defended them.

I wonder if that would have been before or after Josh's "youthful discretions" with his sisters...

It happened years ago and he went through specious therapy. Sure he wasn't punished by the law due to actions of family and friends, but don't you think those people that survived the tower collapse have suffered enough? Why reopen old wounds over ancient history?

No, I think you'll find that the story of the guy that has freaky drunk sex with his daughters is one of Jim Bob's favorites

isn't this a misinterpretation but modern religious fanatics are too stupid to realize that a "year" by early biblical definition is actually a single lunar cycle

that's only like in the low to mid 70s, which isn't that unrealistic to imagine that a couple people would live that long even though they were all shitfarmers

He didn't actually put bombs in the buildings, just touched them on the outside. Don't worry though, I hear its common in other conservative countries as well.

I always figured it was because record keeping wasn't great and they didn't have enough begots and begats to fill in all 4k years so suddenly everyone lived really really long times.

I've heard a theory that all the water from Noah's flood was from the protective layer that surrounded the Earth after it's creation. With that layer gone, harmful rays from the sun shortened our lifespans to the more reasonable 120 years.

I have no idea when 120 years was settled upon, but it is a little interesting to note cell reproduction and degeneration limits puts the maximum human lifespan at around 125 years.

Everyone remembers the animals getting loaded on two by two, but that was only for unclean beasts, (inedible or prohibited animals) everything else was seven by seven. Fourteen fuckin cows, doves, sheep, chickens, goats, horses, turtles, tortoises etc. most ark size estimates I've seen ignore this detail.

You'll be ahead instead of behind. Hello!
When I was a kid a guy came to our church and did a whole flood presentation thing with a scale model and everything. This was where I first heard about the layer of water atmosphere (and because it's gone we live shorter lives and girls get their periods earlier), and also that the craters on the moon are from when God and the devil had an epic rock-throwing battle.

God hates rocks.

Well, that's what you get for being a hell-bound, Mary worshipping papist. Radical Protestant offshoots are where the true Christians live under constant siege for having the Truth.

Or maybe you were Lutheran. Catholic Lite. If so, you're cool cause you don't worship Mary and the pope.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Nothing you're taught in Sunday School holds up if you think about it for more than 5 seconds.

:lol: by those estimates (6 years @ $25 million/year) they've squandered a $125 million fortune.

Maybe we'll get a followup "where are they now" episode in 5-10 years, with the entire family living in squalor after having to sell their compound and move into a couple of triple-wides at a trailer park while living on government assistance :allears:

They've got money. It sounds like they're petitioning for church donations. The Duggars run their own ministry and I'm going to guess if you arranged the payroll in alphabetical order there'd be a fuckton of D names. They just don't want to get real jobs.

And hey, the kind of prayer that prays gay away doesn't come cheap.

They probably have a taste for the finer things now, and will probably end up living outside their means. This type of show is a great example of observer effect, it's not a real accurate portrayal of inbred dumbass life with 19 kids when TLC starts bankrolling everything.
