Frirst off i read the bible and in genisis veyone wasiveing for like 900 years,then "God decided that that was too long and made 150 years the longest a person ca n live yet that dident take effect until noah wtf is up with that .

Now the second thing every completyly seperated civilazation has had different religions and gods you would think that if there is a god he would spred his religion to all his pepole not just the ones in certan areas.notice that civilazations connected by trade and other communification have similr belifes europe is one of the more vast connected basses of land therfore the religion was speed further then say the myans or africa

and so many religons have been practiced widly just to be cast aside and mokedin later years. The greeks had their religion consting of many gods that regulary interacted directly with the mortals had kids that is vastly more concret than christianity yet now we know that it is not true and so religion has progreed and changed and then been proven wrong then changed again well i say we learn history so it doesnt repeat itsself .. we apply that to seemingly every thing exept religion . Why is that,is religion above critisism? I think if you stand back and look at the history of religion it is the bases of war, genocide and so many other of the worst things happinging on earth it also seperates and weakends us. I belive that without religion and with a new common language all continates could combine and as a planet we could progres much faster than with the conflict ofreligion splitin us apart and draning resorces

that is all does anyone share these thoughts or have any thing to add

You'd get more attention if you wrote in English.

^ What he said(which made me burst out laughing.)

Also, God made the limit on human life 120 years, not 150.

But people have lived past 120 years, kinda destroys that theory eh?

Doesn't mean that people can't live past that. But how many people do you know of that have? Like one or two.

No. One could hardly expect such ancient peoples to get it exactly right.

Kinda interesting that they put that limit so close to about where you're guaranteed to die, though. I mean, sure, people have lived past 120 years, but how many?

I wonder if anybody could make it to 130.

Who would want to live to 130? By the time I hit 70 or so, I think my sense of humor will have fizzled out. I'd like for my consciousness to be extinguished when that happens.

I wouldn't mind being some old crazy 90 year old that's always telling weird/fucked up stories. I also think old people have the weirdest sense of humor. It's not that they lose their sense of humor, it's just that what they think is funny is so fucking odd. Example, a grandma will laugh if someone talks about a radio program from the 40's/50's, even though if that grandma were 20 years younger that wouldn't have laughed at all. I don't know, maybe old people will either laugh at anything or they'll laugh at nothing(I've seen both).
