Re: I-35 Can Stop Homosexuality

It never fails to befuddle me why nobody bothers to ask these folks simple questions like: the Bible was written some 2000 years ago. Nobody living then knew that North America even existed let alone what an interstate highway would look like or what sins we'd invent along the way. So how can you interpret these words to specifically refer to I-35? Why don't they relate to I5 in CA? A2 in Germany? Or BR101 in Brazil? Or etc, etc, etc...Could it be because those highways are not so convenient? Or maybe because the conversion rate to dollars is low?

Said another way (and this is a question no religious person has ever had the guts to answer): Why would an omnipotent God leave his most important guidance open for misinterpretation? When, because of his omnipotence, he knows that it will in fact be misinterpreted, misused, abused, and thereby fail to accurately reach his intended audience? Why not just hardwire it into our brains like breathing, eating and <TWIBAT>'n?

Oh yeah, there's the interview conducted in the afterlife; "God really meant this. Did you know that? No? Well do you accept it now? Be careful how you answer. It may mean something down the road a bit."
