My other half uses a transcription service, SpinVox for her mobile phone which takes the messages and sends them via text message and email. Unfortunately I have a rather non-standard accent, what with the elocution lessons my parents made me take during my childhood in Northern Ireland, spending half my life in England and my default ability to try to match the speaking patterns of who I am talking to. It consistently mangles it's transcription of my messages.
You could set SpinVox to use British English, which is supported along with French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian. Their service reportedly achieves above 95% accuracy.
Provided it's true that you read it, I think you paid little attention to the Bible when you read it, otherwise you wouldn't have missed all the things I mentioned in my previous post. Plus you would have noticed the passage about Behemoth (Job, 40:15-24), clearly describing a dinosaur. As for the multiple Gods in Genesis, God speaks in plural because He is three persons in one (the Trinity).
I challenge you to read the book "Evidence that demands a verdict", by Josh McDowell. It will clearly change your way to look at the Bible. I was challenged to do the same several years ago, and my life changed consequently.
The Bible is only inconsistent and self-defeating if you don't take it literally, and if you assume all scientific assumptions are true.
First, ask them what the ten commandments are. This will trip 95% of them up and they'll walk away without bothering you. If they say that the commandments are not important, tell them you think the same about the rest of the Bible.
Actually, the claim that they are not important is not so wrong. Paul in his epistles teaches that the Law (the commandments) were imposed to show humans that they were incapable of abiding to them. Then, he teaches constantly that we are saved by grace, not by deeds, because no matter how hard you try, you will always sin and disobey the commandments. Read the epistles.
Claim you don't believe in Yahweh because you don't believe in infanticide. They'll give you a strange look, and then ask them to read Psalm 137:9, which is in context, Jews daydreaming about smashing their enemies' infants to pieces.
They just wanted revenge, because their enemies did the same to their children. But the Bible doesn't say that God approved their thoughts.
Ask them if they eat lobster, or if there's a girl in the group, if they wear pants. If they say yes, ask them why they support the homosexual agenda, since all three are abominations according to the bible.
You missed the part of the Bible in which God allows us to eat whatever animal we want. Read Acts of the Apostles.
And yes, homosexuality is an abomination.
Don't get me wrong, the world would be a great place of everyone followed the advice of Jesus, but most of them have never read more than ten pages of their Holy Book.
How many pages have you read? You are missing a lot of information from the New Testament.
Next time you call somebody an ignorant, try not to be one yourself.

Actually, atheists are usually much more superstitious than believers.
The web's favicon looks suspiciously similar to ebuddy's logo.

Probably Ubuntu Kinky Koala, Lousy Lion or Maniac Monkey, at the latest.
opera ie mozilla (firefox/ netscape) webkit (safarit/ chrome)
FYI, Opera's engine is called Presto, IE's Trident, and Mozilla's Gecko.
am i missing any (competitive, comprehensive) engines?
Maybe Konqueror's KHTML.
TraceMonkey is reportedly faster than V8.
Even I have a couple of friends I can uniquely identify by their... ahem... odor.

Even Mario knows that mushrooms power you up.

Now I understand why the tubes got clogged.
With SpinVox you receive your voicemail as text, which can be easily read during any stop (e.g. traffic light).

I don't even know who this guy is. I don't think he is someone important, because he doesn't show up on Word's spell check.

Looks like a nice alternative to crappy does-this-belong-hered operating systems. Let's switch! :P
