Stupid Wonders of the World

Quote: Apparently a 105-foot, 100-year-old concrete statue is a greater wonder than the 455-foot, 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza. Yes, because that statue is of God's Son who died for the salvation of mankind. The pyramids in Egypt were made because of a belief in false gods who are actually demons, and the people who made them are burning in hell right now.

The Statue of Liberty is a more wondrous construction than Christ the Redeemer, but that doesn't mean I'm defending the French.

Now you're defending secularism/atheism.:mad: SOMEONE BRING THE TORCHES!

Contrary to your convoluted belief, Christ the Redeemer was not voted on because of its Christian symbolism (after all, St. Peter's Basilica is a far more worthy choice). It was voted on by Brazilians who flooded the voting system so that they could lay claim to one of the world's wonders. Too bad that, by doing so, they effectively discredited the list.

The accuracy and incitefullness of your posts is remarkably improved of late. ;)

America's Museum of Natural History[^] is a more wondrous contruction that Christ the Redeemer, but that doesn't mean I'm defending atheism.

I'm sure you would find any one of Alcoa's aluminum factories to be a more wondrous construction than Christ the Redeemer.

Yes i am sure, because Christ the Redeemer is just a dead corpse laying somewhere in the middle east.

Yeah, I know: moral relativism... The typical answer of you atheist/pagan heathens without moral principles! I don't do nuances, leftie!

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is a more wondrous contruction than Christ the Redeemer, but I'm not advocating moral relativism.

Ahh. You were doing so well and now you've blown it.:sigh: Read a bit further in your Bible and you'll come accross something called the resurection. Only the greatest moment in history so far. Not sure how you managed to miss it actaully. If it's a little tricky to understand you could get an excellent relatively modern book about it called "Who moved the stone?" by C.S. Lewis.

Gandalf was also resurrected after the balrog killed him, but that was in another fairy tale.

Quite possibly. I was merely congratualting Kyle on an excellent post. I have no more time for the new list than you do.:)

I think the word you're looking for is faery. That particular story which conatains no fairies was written by someone who understood the truth of the resurrection. He specifically avoided allegory and that is one reason why he did not write that Gandalf was resurrected, merely that he was sent back, which you have conveniently interpreted.

Actually, no. Plan A was to include the pyramids on the list to be voted on. The pyramid fans loudly protested at the indignity of being forced to compete in such a way. Thus they switched to plan B. The pyramids were withdrawn from the list and they were granted automatic status as an honorary wonder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Seven_Wonders_of_the_World[^]

No? How do you figure. Christ the Redeemer is a wonder. The Great Pyramid of Giza is not. Who cares about their methodology? And why would a poured concrete statue or be a greater wonder than something like the Eiffel Tower. It's just plain old stupid. Even that orange peel doohicky you have in Australia is more impressive.
