I had a thought today as i saw some text, what caught my eye was the letter B.
Sometimes the letter B can appear to resemble the number 13.
With that in mind if we take the word Bible and change the first B into the number thirteen then add the remaining letters we have the string Thirteenible.
Now if we use those letters they make the perfect anagram of the words "The Libertine"
(The concise Oxford Dictionary)
Bastard/ Thirteen-astard = The randiest art.
Baal/ Thirteen-aal = Alien threat.
Coincidence?

That's definition number 2 of libertine. Here's the primary definition:
Trust me, it's a coincidence. Bible equating with either definition of libertine does not work.
Why do people have such conviction that random, unrelated coincidence is impossible? I would argue that it's impossible that nothing should be coincidence, because even a total lack of coincidences would constitute something remarkably like one.
No, I wouldn't call it a coincidence. What I'd call it is a sad attempt on your part to prove that your holy book is somehow special, or that your religion is the truth. The fact that B can look like thirteen means nothing. All it means is your brain is creating a pattern for you, the same as when people see shapes in the clouds. It's pure imagination.
No, it's not a coincidence. The writers of the Bible clearly planned for it and its terminology to contain messages when translated into 2007 English, a language which at the time of the Bible did not even exist."Why do people have such conviction that random, unrelated coincidence is impossible?"
They do think coincidences are possible, just not cool or spooky ones.
This reminds me of that trailer for the upcoming piece-of-shit movie "The Number 23", where Jim Carrey buys a book about how the number 23 connects to everything or whatever. He starts seeing the number 23 in everything, eventually seeing a portent of his own doom. Apparently a lot of people think this is deep and thought-provoking; I think it's pure unrefined bullshit. Take any number, ANY SINGLE ONE, and you can attach something supposedly meaningful to it if you try hard enough. Same with anagrams; put the right words alongside something and you can spell something that describes the person/object in question. The fact that people take this shit seriously makes me wonder if there isn't something inherently wrong with the human race as a whole.
Wow.

Some of my favorite anagrams of "thirteenible":was drunken poultry."
@PhoenixUltima: Yeah, I'd think that that whole "Take any number, ANY SINGLE ONE, and you can attach something supposedly meaningful to it if you try hard enough" deal is kind of supposed to be the "deep and thought-provoking" thing about the movie.
I hear you man, the signs are all around us, but the government doesn't want us to look into these things. I mean crop circles? Contrails? The increase in radiobarometric background energy? It's all connected. I remember the last time something unusuaol happened to me, I kept seeing the number 69 everwhere and then everything just began to fall apart. it's obvious that theg overnment doesn't want us it know these things, they try to control us so we dont see these things byut the y dont understand, no one understands but you ray boy.

Cousin Ted, interesting rant...and yet I can't help but notice something....
[anagramaniac]I like the word anagram because if you exchange the first and third letters in anagram, you get anagram!
Not that I believe him, I do admit that's a cool trick he came up with. Let me try it.
Christians eat christ's body in the form of bread.
some anagrams:
Hate Trendier
Take your pick on what it means.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
