|  Funny thing my religious dad said about Dinosaurs
One day my dad told me that there were never dinosaurs. The fossils were just put there by God to fool with us.
Then I said "Why would God want to play games with us, daddy? Why would He want to screw with us and make us argue with eachother? Doesn't He want us to have world hope & peace? I mean that's what they're always saying in church, right?"
My dad just walked away. |

On topic:
I have this not religious friend and he was always so bad in school. He kept failing. Not religious people are so stupid.

My dad just walked away. | My grandmother believed this and said that the devil put them there to confuse us, who knows, maybe, although highly unlikely. Of course then the argument falls to why did god make the devil? At the time we made these books we were like apes trying to explain fire, it's all magic.

We humans made the devil so god had a reason to be.
About the topic... Thats so silly. There were no dinosaurs and there were not supposed to be cavemen either. God Painted the caves to fool us. (Being Sarcastic here)
I always wonder how can people turn their back on things that are physical, things you can see, touch and study.

Just God. But there is a hell. I honestly don't know what he's thinking but no wonder why he doesn't go to church. Oh, and that credit cards are the root of evil. | |
