Open to interpretation

I stumbled across this comment on a forum which i found very interesting and logical. It is in regards to the ambiguous nature and language of the Bible.

When I read a Microsoft EULA (End User Licensing Agreement) There is no room for interpretation - It’s black and white. 1000 people world wide could read the same thing and we would all walk away with exactly the same message.

Doesn’t it make you question why a god of infinite power and wisdom would allow message so important, that it determined where we spend eternity - to be so ambiguous and open to interpretation?

The Christian god is becoming the God Of Gaps, retreating bit by bit as our scientific knowledge increases. There’s little point in perpetually moving the goalposts just to hold onto an ancient tradition.

It’s better you label yourself simply a theist, believe in what you believe in, don’t pick and choose the “good bits” of the bible, or suddenly claim - after two thousand years of treating it literally - that it’s a book of allegory and metaphor… Your god is whatever you believe, but it’s NO LONGER the Christian god.

Mum guilty of cruelty over cordial diet that led girl’s teeth to rot

AN Ipswich girl had 12 teeth extracted after her mother gave her only cordial to drink and failed to take her to a dentist for more than three years.

The girl came to the attention of a school dental worker when she was aged six, who advised her mother to take her to a dentist.

But repeated calls and letters went unanswered and the girl had 12 teeth removed this year when she was taken into child safety custody, aged nine.

Ipswich District Court heard that in November 2006 the girl had a gum abscess which was draining pus.

Crown prosecutor Clayton Wallis said as well as a poor diet, the girl’s toothbrush was kept on a hard-to-reach bench. The girl found eating painful and was very embarrassed about her 15 badly decaying teeth.

Why on earth would the girl’s Mum do something like that?

Torture her own helpless daughter and provide her with a miserable start to life.

Bitch should be forced to drink cordial and eat raw sugar behind metal bars.

Human meat — particularly that of children — was a regular part of prehistoric man’s diet.

dodgy asian customer

Today at work I had some short, middle age, Vietnamese dude come in-store to get a Blackberry 9700 on a 24 month contract. He told me (in badly broken english) that he just bought a HTC Desire yesterday at Broadmeadows and was also looking to get the Blackberry for his wife. When I asked him why he didn’t get his wife’s phone yesterday, he told me they were out of stock there.

So I checked the system and sure enough he purchased a Desire just yesterday with Telstra. I then proceeded to collect his driver’s license and credit card, grabbed the Blackberry and started the order for him.

Halfway through the order when i was reviewing his ID, I noticed that his license and credit card had the first letter scratched off of his name. It actually looked quite genuine until u looked closely at it. So the ID was showing ‘HIEN’ when his actual name is ‘THIEN’.

Trying to steal mobile phones!?! This nigger didn’t know who he was fucking with. I picked him up and threw him across the room. Then i called out to my manager and we both beat him up. lol not really.

I actually had a quick chat with my manager and he inspected the ID, took it and told me to stall him for as long as i could until the cops came. So I jumped on the computer and pretended to continue processing the thief’s order. In the mean time i asked him how his new mobile was doing. He didn’t understand me so i asked him again. He paused for a second n then muttered something along the lines of ‘good’. Haha he probably already sold Desire in the black market. dodgy prick. I realised there wasn’t much point in generating conversation when he was ultra fob.

As time passed, he started getting more edgy, telling me that he was in a rush and that his wife was waiting for him. I told him that the systems were running slower then usual due to the mass Iphone 4 sales. Another couple minutes had passed and he realised something was up.

Dude: ‘I come back later. I need to go’

Me: ‘We’re nearly done. I just need to wait for the contract to print now’

Dude: ‘Where my ID?’

Me: ‘….Oh no… I must have left them in the photocopier… I’ll go get it for you now’

I walked into the back rooms to hide myself.

Meanwhile i was told that he had fled on foot just as the cops pulled up at the front of the shop but the cops were a few seconds late and just missed him but chased after him anyhow.

Wonder if the lil nigger got caught..
