    (previously posted on the other forum and invitation to post here does not seem to have been taken up. I felt this was the most appropriate thread for it.)

    That does appear to be the intention.

    I wonder what it would be like to have a conversation with the owner of that car.

    LOL

    Yeah i think the ark was his idea - but why an old testament ark but a new testament number plate and quote?

    Oh wait - that would me trying to apply logic to religion, and we all know that doesnt work :p

    Nice find Liah. :D Anyone want to have a shot at cataloguing the various beasties on this guy's Ark? I'm thinking we'll find our zoological texts to be rather inadequate.

    Seems like a good opportunity to share this...Joe Rogan on Noah:

    I particularly like the dinosaurs on the trunk, and the chains on the number preaching plate. This guy's in chains all right - mental chains. Can anyone see which State this is? I hope it's Texas. I'm going to Houston a month from now, and I've been warned that some folks there take their religion rather seriously. :pac:

    As for the creatures, I see no coherent strategy, just everything bar the kitchen sink. Prob'ly can't tell between Warner Brothers and Disney characters.

    Where's the nearest car wash? If the driver put that thing through, the machine would blow up like something from an episode of Top Gear. :eek:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Florida.

    Which is unsurprising. Florida's pretty much one of the biggest capitals for stupid in the States.

    Damn, and Joe's so tetchy when people steal his stuff.

    Speaking of Rogan, someone's posted that pic on his boards too, some redneck lunatic's getting their 15 minutes of infamy today.

    I saw a car with "Repent and believe in the Gospel" which is a quotation from the Gospel of Mark stickered along the sides near B&Q in Liffey Valley, but I have never seen anything like in that picture :)

    I have a feeling it would be like having a conversation with an audiobook of the bible on the random play setting.

    I debated with myself on this one, start a normal thread, or post it in the Religious Humour section... well, it screams "this has to be a joke" to me so here it is:
    The Irish Times wrote:
    IT SOUNDS like the beginning of a joke: what do you get when you put a Muslim imam, a Greek Orthodox priest, a rabbi, a Buddhist monk and 10 atheists in the same room? Viewers of Turkish television will soon get the punchline when a new gameshow begins that offers a prize arguably greater than that offered by Who Wants to be a Millionaire ?

    Contestants will ponder whether to believe or not to believe when they pit their godless convictions against the possibilities of a new relationship with the Almighty on Penitents Compete (Tovbekarlar Yarisiyor in Turkish), to be broadcast by the Kanal T station.

    Four spiritual guides from the different religions will seek to convert at least one of the 10 atheists in each programme to their faith.

    Those persuaded will be rewarded with a pilgrimage to the spiritual home of their newly chosen creed – Mecca for Muslims, Jerusalem for Christians and Jews, and Tibet for Buddhists.

    The programme’s makers say they want to promote religious belief while educating Turkey’s overwhelmingly Muslim population about other faiths.

    “The project aims to turn disbelievers on to God,” the station’s deputy director, Ahmet Ozdemir, told the Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review .

    That mission is attested to in the programme’s advertising slogans, which include, “We give you the biggest prize ever: we represent the belief in God” and “You will find serenity in this competition.”

    Only true non-believers need apply. An eight-strong commission of theologians will assess the atheist credentials of would-be contestants before deciding who should take part.

    Converts will be monitored to ensure their religious transformation is genuine and not simply a ruse to gain a free foreign trip. “They can’t see this trip as a getaway, but as a religious experience,” Mr Ozdemir said.

    The programme, which is scheduled to air in September, has been criticised by commentators and religious figures for trivialising God and faith. – ( Guardian service )

    Is this the new Big Brother?

    Think Muslim suicide bomber...

    Think Buddhist suicide bomber...
    Ommm... boom... reincarnates... Ommm... boom... reincarnates... Ommm... boom... reincarnates... Ommm... boom... reincarnates...

    Game over man, don't pi$$ off the Buddhists.

    Now what I want to know is, is this for real?
