I let my chest hair do the talking.

In related news, Turkey just declared that they invented wine 7000 years ago.

I have always liked Chalo. It was the name of my first dog

Behind every gifted kid there always seems to be a great nurturing parent. Kudos to the Dad and of course to the kid too Very cool.

Translation: "Believe me just because I said so." .. well ... ehm ... if I believed every prophet who came along and told me to believe him, I think I would be doing exactly the opposite of what my "Christian studies" have taught me. You may mock my credit card interpretation of the Lord's word as you wish. But to me, what I said fits the prophecies just as well as yours does (if not better).

I said lets be serious. Instead of answering my question, you are starting to insult my intelligence for some reason. Why? I asked a simple question. On what basis should I "believe" your "theory"? You are certainly not God so your words can definitely be wrong. We know that God's word is True. So let's take your first claim: Do you mean to imply God somehow created, acknowledges, or recognizes those "Nations"? Nations are man-made. They can change any day by redrawing some arbitrary line, through conquest, or through purchase. What possible reason would I have to believe that your claim about somehow these "nations" are part of God's plan or anything that God would have at all recognized as "entities" (let alone talk about or prophecise) is at all True? It is absolutely insulting to me that you would imply the Christian God has any notion of, or cares at all about these "7 Arab Nations" and their "leaders". So I ask again, on what basis should I "believe" YOUR theory? Also this entire notion of God "prophecies" seem quite ridiculous to me. Why would God need to make prophecies in such obscure ways?

Let's be serious for a moment. Pretend I have not said anything up to this point. On what basis should I "believe" your "theory"?

Arpa, if you keep making prophecies like that, I'm going to order a bunch of tea on my credit cards and ship them to you. There's a good deal going on on Amazon right now I'm sure.

There is nothing there to believe or not believe. I think you are asking for people to have faith in what you are saying is true (since you can't prove or disprove such conjectures). And as you said, faith is a step (I'd argue several steps) below reality.

There are many that spent their ENTIRE lives trying to insist that the sun and everything else revolved around the Earth. Heck even in this day and age you still have people that spend a life time trying to argue that God created the Earth and everything on it 5000 years ago.

Just to illustrate what I am saying: I have 10 credit cards from 7 different banks that are now all owned by Chase bank. Chase almost went belly up in the recent global financial disaster. The Dragon is actually the Fed in this case. It took 42 months for many mortgage lenders to return to profitability. Of course that's the Fed chairman, Ben Bernake. I think this means those who make loans and those who take loans all get trapped in captivity by the loans. Those who live within their means triumph like saints. I actually got two more credit card offers from Chase yesterday. They have a lot of perks apparently like free airline miles and 0% interest (introductory). That's when you max out your first card because of the perks. That's when your credit report gets screwed up because you maxed out your first beast, ahem I mean first credit card and can't pay it off in time. ... aaaaaaaaaanyway .. you get the point. Anyone can pull "theories" out of their rear end and it really doesn't take much time and/or effort.

Ah ok. Well my take on this is a worthwhile "theory" is one that is testable. Since the first post offers nothing that can be tested, it is not really worth considering as "theory". It is entertaining reading at best. There are infinitely many ways you can take the general "word of God" and apply it to specific current/past events post facto. Thus any such attempt basically boils down to yet another interpretation of taking a very very small set of the zillions and zillions of events that have happened in the past with very broad statements that on top of everything are also often "paraphrased".

I don't understand .. why would you have to paraphrase the True word of God?

What "theory"?

I heard on the arc, they are just going to put mirrors at the donkey exhibit.

Does it turn on without the battery just using the charger?

So it turns out the guy you think is some nerdy hacker from Taiwan is non other than good old Khachik from Glendale? So how long does it take for a Glendale scammer to come up with $151 mil to pay off these big companies? 1 week? 2 weeks? a month? Surely can't be more than 6 months

LOL @ the dyson

Boy would I even love to stay after class for some help with my singing ... I am really bad at singing ... really really bad ...

So you are saying one day I am NOT going to want to be like Azat when I grow up?

They should send the guy to Iran ... they know how to deal with sodomy

On an unrelated note, LOVING Google chrome's auto-translation of this page. You scroll your mouse over translated parts and it shows the original Armenian text. So if the English translation sounds like total garbage, you can scroll over and see what the Armenian version is saying. For someone who knows how to read but is slow and rusty, this is a great great tool even though the translation quality is not exactly great

This quote made my day: "If he is not normal, we pray for him."... Really? What kind of "normal" person smashes statues with a hammer? Also, isn't it the Christian thing to pray for him regardless?
