The simple fact that they killed the fish after it spoke seems sort of strange. Not that it's not strange enough, but I mean, if I had a talking fish, I would tend to want to keep it around.

You say that now.. but if it was constantly screaming at you in Hebrew, I think eventually you'd get sick of it.

ok? fair enough!

ok this is really pathetic and stupid!
God as a fish? gimmy a brake...he created fishes to be fucking eaten!

I am getting real tired of this whole religeon BS

I once knew a frog that could sing ragtime jazz.

If God is a fish that constantly screams hebrew, I can only imagine what Satan is like.

Fools!

Say your prayers and make your peace.

The fish has spoken.

He certainly isn't a fish, I can tell you that.

well, it wouldn't be the first time an animal spoke.



this has to be one of the funniest stories in the bible.

You humans have such limited imagination. Just wait. When you die, you'll think that you're on so much crack, your head will literally expload.

Allow me to take this opportunity to dismiss this story out-of-hand and hang my head in utter disgust


[edit] reitsma, you posted while I did. Yeah, I always loved that story! I always thought that donkey needed to stand up for himself! [/edit]

A devout Christian, he still thinks the carp was the Devil. 'I don't believe any of this Jewish stuff. But I heard that fish talk.'

I dunno... I guess I'm the only one who finds this statement to be a tad odd...

And the whole thing sounds a bit... fishy...

*ducks*

One gefilte company has considered changing it's slogan to: 'Our fish speaks for itself.'

I love it

Other than that, I'm with Suho here...

i think i've told this story here before...but i can't be sure...so i 'm going to tell it again...

when i was working in montana...a man brought his fish into the vet hospital. he said his fish was coughing/wheezing every time he (the fish) played football. the doctor and i gave each other the "hmm...ok" look and admitted the fish to the hospital. he spent the day in a mason jar on the counter. after much observation the fish showed no signs of coughing/wheezing. the doc called the man, who insisted there was something wrong with the fish. the doc told him that the only way she would know if there was something wrong with the fish, was to kill it and send it to the state lab. the man agreed to this....so we killed the fish...sent it away. results come back....needless to say....there wasn't a dang thing wrong with the fish. the man was very greatful for all of our help, paid his bill and was never heard from again LOL true story!

so, i guess if fish can play football, it would only make sense that they could talk! afterall, someone would have to call the plays!

I agree, if ever I were to encounter any talking animal, killing it would not be my first instint, I'd be thinking $$$$$!!!!

Lacuna, true story? Really?!? That's amazing.

Lacuna, why are all these fish with amazing talents being salugtered needlessly?!

Schitzoboy, let me take that just a bit further and ask why we slaughter fish just so we can enjoy them on the dinner table

Bugs: I swear, it's a true story! I wouldn't believe it myself, except I was there! I cannot, of course, vouche for weather or not the fish could actually play football, as he was in a mason jar. I think that the only amazing thing about that story, was the fact that that man, was still roaming freely around in public LOL

because we need to eat bugs...Jesus ate the damn fish too didnt he?

well, if god did manifest as a human, what's to stop him from manifesting as a fish?
otoh, fish are so vulnerable

Ruski: I believe it would be more appropriate to say that Jesus ate the blessed fish, no?

[Edit: Oh, just out of curiosity--why do we need to eat bugs?

Punctuation. It's what's for dinner.]

Beware of fish baring Hebrew.......

mmmm...seafood.

"You don't know how paralysing that is, that stare of a blank canvas, which says to the painter: you can't do a thing." - Vincent Van Gogh

This idea of eating bugs is making me very nervous

Yea, but bugs are a good source of protein

So are chick peas, baked beans, and tofu... all enjoyed while avoiding any harm to the creepy crawlies.

Don't you just love how these threads diverge?

While that may be true... bugs taste better

Basically we humans have to work hard at maintaining the evolutionary glass ceiling we have in place. Chess playing cockroaches get stood on, Mr Ed had a 'nasty accident' just in case, talking dogs were made into sausages, the counting horse woke up in the morning to find a horses head on his pillow and never counted again (which shows how smart he really was - sucker), etc.

Speaking fish? What's next? some guy walking over water and turning it into wine?

I was trying to figure out if there was any new news on this subject but I did not find anything. But this article, about the same thing at first, then starts to ramble on, is pretty interesting...

Talking Fish

It doesn't seem like people are asking the most important question: What if the fish was right? Come on, Jesus spoke for God, was killed and eaten - at least metaphorically. This Carp of the Apocalypse spoke for God, was killed and eaten. Coincidence?

Perhaps the Carp will sprout limbs, rise out of the water and bring pestilence to cities, like rats. We shouldn't discount the warning.

Slinky.....please tell me you're not being serious? To say that jesus was killed and then eaten (besides being in the wrong order) isn't correct. Jesus was crucified, yes, but then was taken down from the cross and ressurected three days later...no eating happenning. On the other hand this 'carp of the apocalypse'....if it was really God's voice, would it not rise again to continue spreading it's message? It's been far more than three days, and no sign of reflux...

He's got to be joking...

Oh, and welcome back, Skaarjj.

perhaps what he means by killed and eaten is in reference to the "Take my body and eat and drink from it" stuff. You know, "this is my blood, drink of it"

{edit - And yea, I'm sure he's joking about the fish growing legs thing.}

Transubstantiation... yup. I always found the idea rather revolting, to be honest with you...
