Just because the rocks don't build a church doesn't mean they aren't praising God.

Ooo-kaaaaay ... maybe there's a context for this in the thread?
no, because a rock is an inanimate object, THAT'S why it's not praising God. Or, indeed, doing anything.
Why, I do believe that FOCUS has, in fact, been stoned. He was probably stoned when he wrote this, in fact!
Given that the definition of stoning is to throw stones at the offending individual until they die, I would put in that no punishment is required for such a convert-rock, as it is already dead.
But they aren't, for many reasons aside from they're rocks.
They accuse us a paganism then attribute God status to rocks?
To be fair, FOCUS does kinda prove that mainly-inanimate objects can praise / believe in god.
My first thought when reading this was to picture the scene as two stones were punished for adultery, leviticus-style.
If rocks are capable of praising something, are able to do other things like date for example? I'd love to hear more about rock-dating from a fundamentalist POV.
Finally, I suggest that unlike FOCUS, building blocks get laid at least once.
(Luke 19: 37-40 NIV) When they came to the place where the road goes down to the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the highest!'
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples!' 'I tell you', He replied, 'if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.'
And rocks have shown evidence of consciousness where, exactly?
Oh, wait, the rocks inside the fundies' heads...Must be talking about those rocks.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
