    No moreso than atvking is, in fact atvking has one over Mo. He's still alive, and funny.

    Mo stopped being a 'relevant' God the day he died IMHO

    I would love to laugh at you for this ridiculous belief of yours, but I will say you are entitled to your belief.

    riiiiiiight...what you suffer from is called "selective exposure" you see what suits you but some minor stuff like the PYRAMIDS are irrelevant :rolleyes:


    just pointing out that black dromedary camels are rare and not something common folk had back in the day... no ferraris back them so guess what the status symbol was:

    a) plain white camels

    b) rare black camels (hint)

    I laugh at yours so why can't you laugh back at mine? Feel free to laugh, the world needs to laugh much more.

    They are rare, so what? These Arab bedouins still had them, it doesn't change anything. Scepticism is healthy, but you are just being dumb.

    its a status symbol...now and in ancient times...so are high buildings pyramids or modern...now and before the herders of black camels competed in building high buildings...

    get it?

    rich people build high buildings and aspire to own rare stuff...your "prophecy" stood true waaaaaay before islam was invented...so its not really a prophecy is it?

    your argument is that the majority of perisans/arabs were poor back then well NEWSFLASH: the same stands true today.... everything the "prophet" "prophesied" stands true, only it stood true 3000 years ago so he was not really clairvoyant was he?

    these shepherds had no means to compete with each other or with other civilizations, they were shepherds for a reason, they lived terrible conditions.

    The best you can do is say that his prophecy was a wild guess. Someone hearing about this prophecy 1400+ years ago would probably laugh to tears. 
      
    I know that before the prophecy people were competing in the construction of higher buildings, but how would one know that an impoverished people (Arabs) are going to join in this race? This is the point. 

    It's like you saying that a disabled man will one day win the London marathon.
       
    I never said Persians, you are making this up yourself.

    and 99% of them still live in terrible conditions...im talking about the rich black camel collecting high building building minority... now and in ancient times they collected black camels and built high buildings....


         
    Actually no. I never said it was a wild guess. I said that the rich amongst the ancient arabs/persians/whoever tended to collect rare stuff and live in big cribs... now and in ancient times

       
     
    the majority of arabs today dont build anything because they are poor...the small minority build high buildings...you make it sound like all arabs are rich now? well they are not...then, like now, 99% are poor and 1% builds high buildings...history repeating
       
       
     the same "prophecy" stands true for persians being that they also had camels and buildings hell the same prophecy stands true for the chineese because they have dark bactrian camels and also built tall buildings now and in the past...

    The hadeeth probably mentions "black camels" for a reason, it means the portion of Arabs that like to show off their property, if he had said "camels" it would mean all Arabs.

    So some Arabs had these rare camels back then, it doesn't mean they were rich, it just means they were showing off with their useless black camels, they were still poor, living in tents, and I will repeat there was no way of telling they would come out of this poverty and compete with others in something very specific - the construction of higher buildings, nobody could imagine the way they are breaking records at the moment.

    LOL the author of this holy book is a genuis. You can't nail him on his phoney predictions. Make it vague, use bazar metaphors, don't put date deadlines on anything/be confused about the real date the prediction is suppose to come true. When there is a date attached, it's of course wrong.

    This is the kind of crap they use to come to crazy conclusions about 2012. We'll see how many of their predictions come true then.
