Maybe, or not. It is somewhat at least...
Now lets not start about Global Warming, we don't need a discussion about that.  :|

Either way, try sucking on the exhaust pipe of a running car and see if car exhaust causes no problems.  Actually, don't do that.  It would likely kill you.

I'm baaaack. Hopefully the trolling didn't sky rocket while I was away.... :look:



Interestingly, the board is about split or so between athiests and theists, which I find very interesting, since according to wikipedia, 68.38% - 90.73% of the world's population is religous of some type.

Christianity alone:
-About 33% of the world's population is Christian
-Biggest percentage is Guatemala, Panama, Vatican City, and Micronesia where 100% of the population states their religion as christianity.
-Africa is the fastest growing christian population, going from 8.7 million in 1900 to 390 million today (a 4400% change). Also, every year, 6 million african muslims convert to Christianity.
By Country:
-74.1% of Canadians
-78% of Americans
-71% of British
-74.4% of Hungarians
-85.6-90% of Norwegians
-87-94% of Italians
-85% of Spanish
-79% of Swiss
-70% of Germans

By continent:
-82% of North America
-90% of South America
-92% of Central America
-98% of the Caribbeans
-75% of Europe
-The europeans are 75%

Christianity has 22708799 people born into it yearly and 2501396 converted into it yearly, for a 25210195 annual growth, which is a 1.36% growth (just slightly below the world's 1.4% growth rate). That puts it at the most conversions and births among any religion, though its growth percentage is lower than muslims, but that is primarily because of higher populations of christians.


I do not post this to make a point or spark debate, simply to show some interesting facts. Please do *not* discuss the fundlements of this here. This isn't a debate of christianity, simply a collection of facts that I found interesting.

Nah, we were holding down the fort while you were gone. ;)

(Actually, I was gone for most of the weekend, but the others kept everything in order.)

I would have something to say about those statistics, but we all know where that road leads, so... moving right along... :look:

Omega, you have got it wrong, 70 % of the Norwegian population are atheist, 30-20 percent are actualy christians, but 90 % are members of the state church, and I even as atheist can`t get out of the state church until im 15, because my parents choose so. Im not debating you, im just correcting you about your facts about Norway. you have bout 30 percent beliving in no god or magical being, about 30 percent not beliving in any god but a life force. atheist is beliving in no god, aka 70 % atheists in Norway, and indoctrination is not good, it is evil, and when you take out all the childrens of that list you see a dramatically drop at how many people. There is no such thing as a christian child muslim child or hindu child. omg sorry now im debating...

And yeah, Omega, is it good to know we live in the best countries in the world?  :P

Eisenhower, vaccine, England's got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye

CHORUS
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Josef Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev
Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc

Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, dacron
Dien Bien Phu and "Rock Around the Clock"

Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, "Peter Pan", Elvis Presley, Disneyland

Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Khrushchev
Princess Grace, "Peyton Place", trouble in the Suez

CHORUS

Little Rock, Pasternak, Mickey Mantle, Kerouac

Begin, Reagan, Palestine, terror on the airline
Ayatollolah's in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan

"Wheel of Fortune" , Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide
Foreign debts, homeless vets, AIDS, Crack, Bernie Goetz
Hypodermics on the shore, China's under martial law
Rock and Roller Cola Wars, I can't take it anymore

CHORUS

We didn't start the fire
But when we are gone
Will it still burn on, and on, and on, and on...

What do these words mean? Simple, its history of sometime in the mid 1940-around 1980. Its basically every big name or event that happened. Memorizing the lyrics of this song is guarenteed to help you ace history class. Of course, singing this would take a lot of practice, since on the first run, I recall I couldn't pronounce half of the names! :O



Hmm, it has been updated... 3.6.7 now. Only a matter of time before v4 is no longer a beta too. :D
