[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]But despite the initial excitement, maintenance workers were forced to curb the enthusiasm of the hopeful believers. They said the leak, which was detected in the indoor expansion of the men’s section known as Wilson’s Arch, was just the result of a burst water pipe. According to the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, a pipe had exploded on the Temple Mount adjacent to the Western Wall and the water seeped into the stones, making its way to the prayer section.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]It wasn’t the first time that water leaking from the walls of the Temple Mount caused a messianic stir. A few years ago water was spotted emanating from stones next to the Border Police station adjacent to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. Despite excitement similar to that expressed this week, it eventually emerged that the leak was caused by a blockage in the police station’s bathroom, the Walla news site reported. [/QUOTE]
It's like religion is set up just to disappoint people.

Something similar happened here a while ago. A pipe burst underneath a tree and people soon started praying like it was a miracle.

What if Jesus of Nazareth was just an incredibly lucky dude who kept claiming random shit and was always somehow lucky enough for something to happen right at the same time and make it look like he did it all
[QUOTE=elowin;49055258]How is that even edgy[/QUOTE] Because he said the word religion and comments about edges are original and funny. At least he did adapt it to the story though.

Him coming back from the dead is just him coming back from a vacation while the romans executed some guy they thought was him
If you read the bible, realize its all about subjective experiences, visions and dreams. Hoping for something material is just asking to be let down.
[QUOTE=woolio1;49055168]Ooh, careful with that edge! You could slice through a water pipe with that.[/QUOTE] wow super original. thanks for continuing the discussion in a productive manner

[QUOTE=woolio1;49055168]Ooh, careful with that edge! You could slice through a water pipe with that.[/QUOTE] In a building constructed out of old water pipes there is no doubt about that.

[QUOTE=elowin;49055258]How is that even edgy[/QUOTE] the pipe is very thin!
Y'all have obviously never cut yourselves on pipe.
[QUOTE=elowin;49055258]How is that even edgy[/QUOTE] I guess he could be saying it to feel superior to him, but that's just an 'educated' guess.
[QUOTE=elowin;49055258]How is that even edgy[/QUOTE] Any criticism about religion is obviously founded in Neckbeardian cynisism Obviously. Why else would he say those things?
What a gaggle of idiots. Observation: Some water. Conclusion: The return of a magic saviour who is the son of whatever sauron in the sky they worship this century.
