Biblical Arts Center in Dallas is Burning!

[Mephisto]

I just caught a "breaking news" story on CNN. Apparently the Biblical Arts Center in Dallas, Texas is being consumed by fire. Fire officials interviewed stated that the building was occupied at the time, and thanked God that no one was hurt.

My question is, how they can thank God for not hurting anyone, but not blame God for starting the fire in the first place?

And just what are . . . "Biblical Arts" anyway. I'm picturing placard-carrying, funeral protesting, gay-rights protesting, being more judgemental, but I may be wrong. Biblical arts may be more along the line of killing babies, punishing sinners and killing witches. Who knows?

There was a single typo in one of the books, so naturally God had to burn down the place because it was evil.

:D :D :D
Or a copy of one of the Harry Potter books was found in the building.

I suppose, in retrospect the people were very lucky to get away, God could have sent one of those X-tian fundie, White-Supremicist angels of death that he's used before to wreak his special brand of havoc on Jewish daycare centers.

They were going to become a bunch of 7th Day Hoppists

Rimmer: Everyone's entitled to their beliefs, Lister. I never agreed with my parent's religion, but I wouldn't dream of knocking it.
Lister: What were they?
Rimmer: Seventh day advent hoppists. They believed that every Sunday should be spent hopping. They would hop to church, hop through the service, then hop back home again.
Lister: What was the idea behind that, then?
Rimmer: Well you see, they took the Bible literally. Adam and Eve; the snake and the apple... Took it word for word. Unfortunately, their version had a misprint. It was all based on 1 Corinthians 13, where it says, "Faith, hop and charity, and the greatest of these is hop." So that's what they did. Every seventh day. I tell you, Sunday lunchtimes were a nightmare. Hopping round the table, serving soup - we all had to wear sou'esters and asbestos underpants.



Can't have a bunchof heathen hoppists messing up Texas....

If I believed in god, I´d probably say that incidents like this prove that he has a peculiar (but rather enjoyable, if you are into gloating) sense of humor.

I would say it shows Allah is highly effective at choosing his targets...

Well, I'm glad no one was hurt and I hope they have insurance.

I'm glad no one was hurt and I hope they DON'T have insurance. But I was never baptised, so what can you expect?

biblical art = the face of jesus on a tortilla.

biblical art = noah's art depicted in the cream cheese on my bagel.

biblical art = photos of red sea parting (cameras were all the rage back then)

This is what I picture at least.

I can beat that. In some little restaurant I ate in once, they had, hanging from the wall, an autographed picture of Jesus.

Well, folks, there you have it. Proof positive that:

1) God exists
2) And He has a wicked sense of humor.

NOW do you believe?? ;)

:D

It seems to me that Zeus is not happy with the mere little Texas mortals...
