Where did this come from?
Did anyone know that you could infer from the Bible, that God would support
SI and abhor FFU?
First of all, the Bible demands honest measurements. The history of FFU has
been a history of deception. Units of the same name had hundreds of
variations. Sometimes traders had two versions of their own, one used for
buying and one used for selling. The introduction of the metric system was
opposed in France by the traders because they didn't want an honest system.
Second, the bible makes it clear that anything associated with Babylon is
an abomination. Babylon symbolizes sin. FFU has its origins in Babylon,
therefore FFU is sinful.
SI has been honest from the start and never was associated with Babylon.
Therefore SI units can be considered sacred.
"Dan"
I'm pretty much sure that official metric advocators, be they via
professional means or from a "pressure group" perspective, will "thank the
Lord" that you have no capacity whatsoever as a representative of anything
pro-metric. At all.
However - I wonder how many times the above has been viewed by those who
cannot contribute but will read it and take some sort of message from it
regarding the benefits, or otherwise, of metrication?
