"Highway of Holliness"

[phantomdesign]

A devout group of evangelical Christians in the Midwest are flocking to help purify a spot they believe the Bible has ordained as holy ground -- and it happens to be 1,500 miles of interstate asphalt.

Wow, just wow. I've seen quite a few low points in evangelical Christian "culture" personally (read: Christians, not Christ or the bible), but this is just retarded on so many levels. :rolling:

Holy shit. I-35 runs right nearby me. We take it all the time.

There's this one song by ACDC that would go so well here...

By the way, why on Earth do all these Christians believe holy sightings and artifacts are in AMERICA? All the action was in the Middle East for crying out loud!

I'm not sure why any Christian believes ANYWHERE is a holy site (based on the content in the Bible). What always irritated me the most about the Christian Community is that for every bad idea you squish, hundreds more pop up. You can never win.

Regardless of what you believe, the bible has sons of great advice on many subjects including general wisdom, morality, economics, hygiene, farming, charity, justice, health, society, psychology, and much more. It's also interesting that Christians fail to recognize that a sizable percentage of the Bible is simply advice, not law, but just plain good advice.

I'm not exactly sure where I was going with that rant, but anyway, stupidity is everywhere, but there are many pockets within Christianity which discourage using your brain and challenging what you're told.

P.S. East side representing yo! (what side of the tracks . . . ummmm . . holy road are you from?)

I'm pretty sure you can deduce the answer to that one with minimal effort.

East Side. Less than a mile away.

You better be careful R-dawg, those christians might take a que from the Lakotas and try to claim that strip of land. Being the nasty heathen that you are, you will have to travel around this road if you ever want to go west-side.

I've played Frogger before. I can handle it.

Forward. Right. Right. Forward. Right. Back. Forward. Forward. Left. Left. Left. Left. Forward. Right. Back. Forward. Back. Right. Right. Forward. Right. Back. Left. Forward. Forward. Right. Right. Right. Forward. Back. Forward. Forward. Victory.

**** I-35. I-40 is where it's AT.

That's the road being integrated into the new NAFTA super highway. I call BS to be honest, I think their fake Christians or Christians who have been bought and paid for to tout outrageous religious crap about a section of vital infrastructure. So it clouds up issue for those who oppose the construction of that section of the super highway, making it harder to get any kind of foothold to stop it from happening.

Which is more likely? That I-35 is a divine highway? Or it's a ploy to get Christians to think that the expansion of this highway into the NAFTA superhighway is some how a good thing and is god's will? The answer seems pretty obvious.

 

[delusional]

Or they are just insane.

 

[Avoidist]

Or they are just insane.

And delusional.



Sorry, just had to do that.

"A highway shall be there, and a road," reads a portion of the chapter's verse eight, "and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it..."

*dirty drunken bum jay-walks across I-35*

welp, guess that defunks the prophecy!

911, Particle physics and now highway construction is a conspiracy.

What the **** lol sometimes you need to think before you type, It's not a conspiracey that the NAFTA superhighway is being built. It's a possible motive that the people benifiting the most from spearheading it's construction want to get as many Chrisitians thinking it's a good thing for whatever reason.

The people that worship this highway actually live pretty much in my city.
