Yeah, yeah, yeah, you damaged them and they managed to survive. Big whup.
You preached the gospel to your tomato plants. Did any of them become Christians?
Yes, I do think you're crazy.
This has to be a troll. Fundies may do crazy stuff, but this is too over-the-top crazy. Anyone who did truly believe in this would be so damaged from the inbreeding as to make that person incapable of owning, much less operating, a computer.
John Wyndam - excuse spelling it's been 20 years I think there's an H in there somewhere. Interesting comment on the collapse of society, but I couldn't get over PLANTS being dissolved by water. And England going for weeks without rain. How do you scout out a suitable planet for invasion and overlook a minor technicality like that - It's not like you can't see clouds from space!
Uh, Julian, I think you're talking about the wrong book. They didn't get distroyed by water, they didn't have any specific weakness. They also weren't from space. It said that they were harvested by people for years before the disaster took place, kinda like bee's are today so they didn't just appear and get melted by water. Lastly, the triffids didn't cause everyone to go blind, it was a bio weapon made by humans (it was written during the cold war era so nukes/bio weapons were one of the topics).
Sorry, I just finished it so I kinda felt like talking about it.
I know why the tomato plants grew tall - because of all the manure spewing out of Ub4war's mouth!
PS: The "sequel" to day of the triffids, "the night of the triffids" by Simon Clark, is also a good read, and does justice to the original.
Wow...I wasn't expecting to start an entire conversation about Day of the Triffids...
And no, they never really beat the triffids, they find places to hide. In the end, the main character and his wife move to an island where the triffids have been exterminated, if I remember correctly.
Yeah, because helping your little amateur tomato garden to grow is much more important to God, than helping people who are starving to death, or dying from malaria or cancer.
At 56 I've witnessed many people give up on their gardens out of sheer frustration and ignore them as a loss only to see them recover and thrive without attention. Without prayer by the way.
The clues are there, you admit to overfertilizing them, a few rains diluting the mix and they were able to come back.
I bought this house 8 years ago and it has a rubarb patch at the back Ive been mowing down for five (no one we know seems to know how to actually make anything with rubarb or the ones that do get enough elsewhere) rubarb is very tenacious and has already sprung little reddish sprouts again. Just glad there not Triffids.
“I know you think i am crazy but …”
No, i think you’re selfish. What if God only answers one prayer a day, and you got YOUR tomatoes? No one in any war zone or cancer ward or outaide an abortion clinic or waiting for trial got THEIR prayers answered becuase you won that day’s lottery.
Twenty people float up out of the crashed plane to find the Angel of Death ready to escort them heavenlywards. “Wait!” One screams. “I was faithful! I started praying the instant the engine stopped! Why didn’t God save us?”
“Sorry, God reached his quota. But if it makes you feel any better, I can bring you back in about 4 months to show you some amazing tomato plants!”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
