Is there a God #3

Tomatoes are fruits.

You're a fruit.

There's only one thing wrong with that story...avocados don't ever ripen on the tree. So, just as vine ripened avocados, God is nothing more than a figment of our imaginations.

:thumbsup:

They do in California...I lived next to that orchard for 3 weeks, and we all ate dark green ripe top 'o' the tree avacados.
Since you think avacados grow on a vine (they don't) therein is the flaw in your counter theological pop-culture denial of eternal Life eating ripe tomatoes (they do grow on vines) and avacados in the Fields of the Lord. Elysian Fields isn't just a street in the Fauborg-Marigny!

Blessed be His Wisdom creating good eats here on Earth!:bowdown:

Oh sorry, I inadvertently said "vine ripened" as it is an extremely common term to use for produce that ripens on the plant on which it grows, especially in professional kitchens. If we're going to nitpick though, maybe I should point out that there are no such things as "avAcados" as you describe. There are "avOcados", but not "avAcados". But, either way, maybe I should've avoided using kitchen terms here and have just been super specific with what I meant.

Yes, avocados grow on trees. Trees that commonly grow to be quite tall actually; some grow to be 70 feet tall (which would make for one hell of a long stick that you described, being able to get "top 'o' the tree" avocados). But, no matter how much of a fun fact that is, avocados do not ripen on the tree. They can mature on the tree, but they do not ripen. Even according to the California Avocado Commission, the people who overlook the avocado farming in California, ripening of avocados must occur after they have been picked from the tree...

Ripening a California Avocado

•To ripen a California Avocado, place the fruit in a plain brown paper bag and store at room temperature 65-75° until ready to eat (usually two to five days).
•Including an apple or banana in the bag accelerates the process because these fruits give off ethylene gas, a ripening reagent.
•Soft ripe fruit can be refrigerated until it is eaten, but not for more than two or three days.
•The California Avocado Commission does not recommend using a microwave to accelerate the ripening process.

Nowhere does it say "let it ripen on the tree". Hmm. :dunno:

Can you eat avocados straight from the tree? Yup. Are they ripe? Nope.

What does this prove? That God doesn't exist.

Ok, so maybe that last part was a stretch. But the fact remains that avocados don't ripen on the tree.

:2 cents:

Allah................................:rofl2:

 

[Philbert]

And of course you are wrong...'cause the avocados fall from the tree when they are through growing...and it can take more than 2 days for the attached part to deteriorate enough to let loose...therefore the ones we pulled from the top of the trees (which were smaller than 70') were ripe and green all the way through.
Harvesters only harvest the lower and mid branches, and we were allowed to go in with ladders and reach the top branches to get the big older ready to fall leftovers...being careful to not break any branches.
I ate the fuckin' things, I know how ripe and green they were. God Nose...

My degree in Applied Sciences in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts says that you clearly don't.

Jesus loves porn stars. Someone told me so at EXXXOTICA.

And I eat tomatoes like apples.

You're a fruit.

You're a towel.

I claim to be a Anticlerical-Christian : I believe in god and the Christ but I hate all the religious authorities, particulary the Vatican, which have betrayed the original message to satisfy their thirst for power and control people.

The Crusades, 9/11 and many other terrible things have been planned and organised by religious leaders

Awww no one has gone for my old mates the Reptilians?

For shame!

 

[tartanterrier]

Probably

My real-world knowledge trumps your useless book knowledge every time...God is on my side!

 

[fingers_bob]

I don't think so.

You only like pseudo-Christians, like the ones who go to Joel Osteens Coliseum.

Not true Christians who will not compromise to make you happy. :tongue:

I believe in God but How many of you will say that you believe in His only son Jesus?
