So is the Father red because he is moving away from us? (Murrin: Stay on target!) Or is he red because he represents carnal sin? (Murrin: STAY ON TARGET!) Or is the Red Father Esau and is just very hairy? (*lasers fired, explosion*)

And I never say that science based on geology and medicine have all the answers... it's all physics and chemistry :biggrin:

babybottomfeeder,
babybottomfeeder wrote:I'm not an atheist and I'm not saying it didn't happen, I am simply wondering how Noah got 2 of every animal on the ark. Let's discuss so we can come up with the most logical way he did it. I myself imagine that the boat was miles long and miles high. It probably also relied on the help of the animals themselves to steer the rudder as, hydraulic technology wouldn't be around for a while. Maybe there were 2 elephants, 2 rhinos, 2 buffalo and 2 polar bears steering? I mean, not steering, a person like noah would have steered. I mean, supplied the muscle to steer the rudder?

Confused! Please Help!
Magic. If you really want to blow your mind consider Noah needed months worth food for those animals and for his family. Additionally, he needed a way to get the tons of animal crap on the ship off the ship in an expeditous manner. The answer has to be magic.

I'm usually a pretty peaceful guy...but WHAT THE HELL IS THE RED FATHER?! Let's just get it over with.

Answer me BBF--and coherently--or I will get this thread shut down. It's turning into a carnival in a quality forum. If you want this kind of stuff post Ted Danson topics like I did on General Discussion, back in the day.

What is everyone's flops-and-tails unfair consideration? How is the a carnival? I illustrated that story to show that I did not think that the Marvin the Martian Man/Woman was offending me? Did you not understand. Tread Lightly and carry a big Bic Lighter. I am fragile. Be kind and let's rewind because I am doing my best with the language and symbolism that I was raised with :(

Dear Babybottomfeeder:

Your Red Father should have spanked you more as a kid, or at least every time you got an 'F' in Grammar. Speaking of Grammar, yours sucks. Your attacks on Lord Foul, Loremaster, and whoever else, suck. Your constant diatribe of 'don't judge me' sucks. Your lack of coherence sucks. Your constant use of unrelated (and irrelevant) pop-culture references sucks. The fact that you think it makes you look intelligent is hilarious to me. You wish you had the kind of power this thread appears to have given you, but be assured, it is an illusion, and even this illusion will be short-lived. The games you play suck. Are you indeed fragile? That must suck. Am I attacking you? Suck it up.

I seriously was wondering at some point if Rus was just playing some huge prank on us. Glad I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines...I felt very ashamed of myself for considering the possibility.

From what little research I'm able to do, he doesn't appear to be Rus. Also, he doesn't appear to be one of my aliases gone amok (thank God).

Yeah, whoever he/she is, this guy/gal is fucking with you all. It's a cliche nowadays, but as the saying goes ... "don't feed the troll."
