i think its funny how worked up people get about the bible. if you dont believe it, then screw off for all i care. you dont have to open your mouth and let out your random, not appreciated, useless crap. have you ever played the game telephone? where you talk in someones ear, then they talk in someones ear, and by the time it gets back around to you, it can be quite different? ever thought that might have happened? in my spanish book at school, things are translated quite differently and sometimes wrong or changed. the thing about snakes eating dirt, etc...is obviously one of these incidents. a bat, essentially, is a bird. a little kid knows what things are because of what they do. he knows a car is either a 4 door sedan or a 18 wheeler is moving, so both of them are a car. you dont hear a 2 year old saying lets go get in the 18 wheeler. same thing with the bats...it flies. what does any bird do? besides penguins, chickens, etc. it flies. so to a person who is generalizing, you could classify a bat as a bird. eveyrone who participated in this as a flame-giver or flame-throw, no pun intended, then you can all go to hades. isnt that ironic, though, how people who dont believe in God can condemn people to hell? well isnt hell based on the bible? yes, i think it is. so arent you just contradictng yourself when you tell someone to go to hell? yes, i think you are.
