In post after post you keep saying "so long." What do you mean by that?

Just curious.

Fact check: You average 7.04 posts per day while sauron averages 3.51. Why don't you stop with the personal attacks and debate the issue. If you haven't read through the thread, I suggest you do. All you've given is a bunch of unsupported historical assertions and no proof of the prophecy's fulfillment.

Are you challenging the methods of a self-confessed "champion U.S. debater?"

You gotta lot a nerve!

Let me get this straight: all this erroneous nonsense about Tyre was learned at some sort of "educational institution"?

Not an accredited one, I presume.

It appears that you have been expensively misled. You could try suing.

I bet it doesn't have fuckwit in it. I had to sneak a look at my personal medical records to find that one. A solicitor's letter to your doctor should swing it for you.

Liviu. It's not often we come across an honest fundie. I hope you are honest enough to go where the evidence takes you. If nothing else enjoy the ride. I'm sure you'll soon discover why we find the normal brand of black-is-whiters so unconvincing. Pathetic really.

Do you recall the Soviet era? Were you ever convinced by those communist spokesmen that you were an oppressed slave, whilst they lived in a democratic Utopia? Or why they needed twice as many nice kind peace flower missiles than our nasty malevolent ones? Do you think they were kidding us or themselves? Or might it just have been the only way to keep the lid on their captive audience who knew no better? If you stick around I'm sure you'll end up ashamed at some of the absolute bollocks and outright lies you will hear from the sadly demented 'truth sellers' we get.

Don’t be put off by fear of Pascall’s Wafer that you risk extreme torment for all eternity if you get it all wrong. I simply chose to disbelieve in Buddha instead of God. That way I know that the worst that can happen is that I’m coming back as a horse. That may mean a short life of cruelty and servitude I'll admit, but by the same token I'd have a much higher chance of knobbing my favourite German porn star.

PS - as an observer with fundie bona fides, please book a holiday in Tyre and send Lee Merrill a stamped and dated picture postcard will you. He doesn't believe it exists bless him.

boro nut ,you are a nut, tyre was never rebuilt. tyre was a mighty sea power that rivaled Great Britain, relatively speaking. Tyre was humiliated, made a vassal state, and had its palace destroyed down to a bare rock, ...the modern town of tyre (sur) is not a city-state, it has no KIng, no palcae, no great navy no army, just 15,000 people in a tawdry suburb.

mata leao:

You are mistaken, and no amount of repetition will ever make this true. Tyre was NOT "made a vassal state": in Alexander's time, it was ALREADY a city of the PERSIAN EMPIRE, having peacefully decided to JOIN it earlier.

Your claim is equivalent to saying that the state of Virginia was defeated and humiliated in the war of 1812 and was made a vassal state of Washington DC.

Learn some HISTORY, man!

Tyre still exists, and is now far MORE prosperous than it was before Alexander attacked it.
