[on the passage in Revelation about blood up to the horses' bridles]
(Thunder Overhead) Funny how a prophecy supposedly about modern times assumes that people will be riding horses for transportation.

That is why the Germans lost WWII is because they ran out of gas and walked home.
Really? That's the only thing that cost the Nazis a win in WWII? A gas shortage?
Citation seriously fucking needed...and some actual research.
I love how the smug ones always say the most mind blowingly stupid things.
Also hybrid, electric, and alchohol fuelled vehicles may not be common today but they'd certainly be more plentiful than mounted riders in a gasoline shortage.

According to Judges 1:19, god is impotent against chariots made of iron. That would make it impotent against tanks, planes, and even cars as well. Heck, I've got iron in my blood, so god is impotent against me.
God is impotent to NOTHING.
The bible begs to differ.
But maybe this is why fundies are so vehemently against protecting the environment.
[FundieMode]If we develop sustainable methods of transport independent of oil, we will not have to use horses when the apocalypse comes, thus proving the bible wrong. And that is terrible.[/FundieMode]
Yeah, the fact that they spread themselves too thin over Europe, used up much of their resources & manpower to systematically slaughter millions of innocent people and enslave thousands more, and had no fucking clue how to equip themselves for the harsh Russian winters had nothing to do with why they lost the war. Not to mention, no one, not even many of their own people wanted anything to do with their fucked-up ideologies.
(Kuno)
While I've never been a fundy myself, I've got a pretty good idea why fundies are anti-environmentalism. It does, indeed, have to do with the alleged End Of Days, but not with horses.
In their mindset, at best , there's no need to worry about irreparably screwing up the environment because, once Jesus returns, he'll make everything better again. At worst , Jesus won't return until the environment becomes irreparably screwed up.
Ah, I see we have another fuckwit for whom the word 'atheist' is too difficult to understand.
PC, someone who is an atheist can't be a satanist dumbass.
It's funny how cons will admit oil is running out when it suits their purposes.
@Da Rat Bastid:
No that's not why.
It's because the millionaire cons made a deal with the fundies in America 33 years ago.
The millionaires supplied the money and connections, and the fundies supplied 10 million voters who believe anything they're told, in order to put millionaire friendly politicians into office.
As part of the deal, the millionaires allowed the fundies to complain about civil rights and abortion, and the fundies made environmental laws and capital gains taxes the work of the devil. What you said is the specific propaganda that was sold to the brain dead 10 million to convince them that clean water is a socialist plot to destroy America.
Is this why Republicans are intent on pumping as much oil as possible out of the ground?
OK then, explain why in Revelation that the primary weapon described is always a sword. Not one mention of firearms, rocket launchers, hand grenades, or bombs.
@Doubting Thomas:
Maybe we will run out of gun powder and explosives, too? *shrug*
EDIT: Also, everything is better with katanas!
@Protestantcrusader
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the crusades done by us Catholics, the ONE TRUE FAITH, as opposed to you Satanic heretics that worship Lucifer and his teachings.
EDIT: Corrected some speling. Let me know if there's any I missed.
Hi. Bob Satan here, Lucifer's younger brother. I don't know anyone who gets more crap for their name except maybe Charlie Hitler. Speaking of Charlie, we were hanging out at Jasper the Indifferent Ghost's house playing Halo III when ....
Aw, screw it. When are you numbskulls going to stop living in Fantasyland?
This is the way the world ends
You might get that some day, but I won't hold my breath.
@KittyKaboom
One of the reasons the Battle of the Bulge ended was the Germans literally ran out of gas. They would have lost both the battle (with the weather clearing Allied air power would have broken the advance) and the war (the Soviets were still advancing in the east) anyway, but the Battle of the Bulge would probably have been longer and bloodier.
ProtestantCrusader vomited:
God cannot be defeated
That is correct! One can not defeat something that does not exist!
Congratulations - you got something right!
@Dogma's Demise
Just to be clear, I did not post that message. If you're trying to impersonate me, stop.
It could of course be a coincidence, but just to be clear, this will be the last time (6/21/2013) I use the name since I can't be bothered with mistaken identities. (I prefer to post as a guest.)
@ NotaReptile
I think PC is PG.
Gas will always be plentiful as long as arseholes like this keep spouting it.
(Gas as understood in the chemical rather than internal combustion engine sense, of course)
@ HIs4Life
Are you suggesting that God is a sodomite?
According to the book The Prize , the whole reason Nazi Germany invaded Russia -- thereby turning one of their biggest allies into their enemy and dooming themselves to ultimately losing the war -- was to get their mitts on the Russian oilfields.
Germany had, like, NO natural oil reserves at the start of the war. They were forced to produce "synthetic crude oil" from coal, a dirty and expensive process. When allied bombers finally took out their synthetic oil factories, it severely crippled the Nazis' entire military.
There are photographs of the Nazi Me-262, the most advanced fighter plane ever developed by either side, being towed into place on the runway by COWS because they couldn't afford the fuel to taxi:

@rikalous
Yeah maybe I should have registered first, no matter. Just wanted to clear up any possible confusion since I posted under that name a while ago on the other forum before I quit. He can use that name, as long as he's not deliberately trying to impersonate me.
I'm sure the mods can always confirm it since chances are he's not even posting from Romania.
I've just had a word with God, he says he's too busy to judge anyone and he's put me in charge of it. Now, I'm a but busy too, so I've delegated it to my cat. Hope we're all cool with that.
LAchlan: Please tell your cat I'm sorry for replacing my roommates' birth control pills with cheap fruit candies so I could take the pills for myself.
They must taste pretty bad. She's been puking for the last two weeks.
Anyway, I'm sorry and I hope your kind and benevolent cat will spare me from a harsh judgement.
Fawful has seen God has a vagina on top of his penis:
To be honest, I figured PC was one of us playing around. He just seems so Poe-ish .
I could be wrong, though.
@Protestant Crusader, His4Life
If there's really an all-wise, all-loving God, I doubt He (or She or It) cares tuppence about sarcastic comments made on the Internet. That would be petty and insecure.
@ LAclhan
A cat?! You've damned us all! The only creatures almost as selfish and vindictive as Bible God! Sure, your problems sort of melt away into nothing as you pet and cuddle and play with the adorable little fluffballs but as soon as they're not the centre of the universe they plot your DOOM.
Well, at least they'll be easier to please and less likely to ask us to kill our children just to prove we love them.
I'm back...BRING IT ON,PROTESTANT CRUSADER. For as the wrath of the ULTIMATE WARRIOR RISES, SO DOES HIS POWER! By praying to god to grant me power, I have gotten it! LET THE BEATINGS BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, when oil and gas have run out, we will be above the carrying capacity of the land. We'll be using the horses for food, not transportation.
EDIT: I see John with #1556495 said the same thing, sooner and more succinctly.
@Philbert McAdamia
Thanks!
Electric vehicles (solar cell-charged lead-acid batteries). Hydrogen powered engines via conversion kits. Fuel cell-powered vehicles.
It's funny that Tommietwat up there doesn't understand that alternate energy sources exist. [/hyper-smartarse]
...and there's me thinking that - with their logistics stretched whilst fighting on two fronts in the latter part of the War in Europe part of WWII (D-Day to the left of 'em, Soviets to the right of 'em!), it's not just that their overengineered Tigers & Panthers were such petrol-guzzlers that they ground to a halt (if they weren't being blasted to shit via RAF Hawker Typhoons/USAAF P-51 Mustangs; also Ilyushin IL-10s [So solidly-built and ultra-reliable, with A-10 levels of survivability then, no wonder it was known as the 'Flying Tank']), the Wehrmacht as a whole were basically giving up (preferably to the US/British troops, as they knew they'd be treated fairly as POWs; they'd heard of what the Soviets did to captured German soldiers, especially the SS! ).
...that, and we knew more about the Wehrmacht as a whole - via Bletchley Park's decryptions of Nazi Enigma transmissions - than Hitler's High Command did! 'Know your enemy and know yourself, and tyou will not be imperiled in a hundred battles' (Sun Tzu, "The Art of War") indeed.

...nope, not seeing that 'Apocalypse' eh, Goddy-boy? Nor since the UK first introduced the 'Tank' in WWI, for that matter.
And of course, it's not just Tanks that contain Iron used in the making of the Steel they're made of, neither. A whole lotta Iron Chariots out there.
...nope, not seeing your 'Goddy-boy', neither. As per Judges 1-19, I guess that's why he daren't show his face - if [/Spartan Laconic Wit] he 'exists' - round these parts. As that extremely revealing titbit of Scripture proves, the Creation is now superior to the Creator.
As Kryptonite is to Superman (especially Gold Krypronite), Iron is to your so-called 'God'. All sentient beings have a weakness. No Exceptions.
Bark like a bitch, Goddy! >:D

Does any one else see an over weight teenager playing with WWF action figures?
In many major battles, The African Campaign and Russian Front, they ran out of gas and more because their supply lines were targeted.
The Germans actually lost the war, overall, because they were heavily outnumbered, it was only a matter of time. Hitlers biggest folly was that he thought the Aryian countries would eventually join him to kick the Jewish and brown folk back to the stone age. Many in America still believe this is a good plan.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
