I've known a couple of preachers that could apply to.

oop!

The fool is the one who failed to actually read the text -- there are entirely different words being used. In the top verse, a good modern rendition would be "Useless airhead!", while the others would be, "Not so wise". The former indicates that the person is worthless; the latter suggests the person is failing to use capabilities he has.

So are you calling him a useless airhead or not so wise?

Nice to see someone employing a fallacy that was one Abraham Lincoln held as perhaps the most dangerous: changing the meaning of a word within a single statement.

LOL

I've always responded to that assertion with, "Even if it was true -- so what?"

The problem with things like this is that they're no different than really bad science fiction that screws up all the science. It isn't funny, it isn't scary, it's just tragic that anyone could do something so lame. People should actually get educated about something before they try to write about it, humor or otherwise.

Kul, here it is you being foolish considering it as a philological question: the fact that "rakah" or whatever word was in the original is not the same in the other cases, is irrelevant from the moment that people who stick to the English text or that particular version as THE word of God are sticking to a senseless contradiction.
As always, always ignoring and taking for granted the work of translators and the role of translation and linguistics in "truths" and texts and communication and understanding, on religious or scientific matters.

The scary thing is that people do not just write or make humor about it, but do the exact same thing in the name of the truth coming from God.

What I find interesting about the response you keep copying and pasting into this thread is how it compares to the sort of convincing response we might both give to someone who asserts there is no such thing as evolution.

Neither of us would be tempted to say "Oh, people should actually get educated about education." We would actually do the education. We'd talk about fossil record, carbon dating, fruit flies, punnett squares....

The funny thing is, there's a lot of "bad science fiction" that I remember as a kid that today is science fact. Going to the moon/space stations, cell phones, lasers, computers, bionics, GPS, internet, robots, digital cameras, big screen TV's ... and a zillion other things that started out as somebodies, "...what if...". And they, or others found a way to invent it, and make it real.

We're only limited by our imaginations, and if it wasn't for the imaginations of people back then we wouldn't have all the glorious things we do today because some bright primates found a way to make it a reality.
