Hey it geg
Friends, rivals, vague acquaintances of the Curia :cool::cool::cool::cool:,
I present to thee today on a platter of the finest nondescript metal of a reasonable price, Cookiegod. Here is where I...
Come on guys ostraka are very srs business. We should start by replacing the Constitution with English Common Law and work from there to ensure everyone is properly protected by the law.
I dooted. Can we mark this thread not safe for life please
Yes, my pride is holding me back from rationalizing stone age mythology as absolute good.
If perfect morality allowed for slavery, genocide, stoning of adulterers, dashing of babies against rocks, etc etc, then I'd contest that the morality in question was indeed perfect.
Holy mother of anachronisms. By this logic, it should forever remain a mystery why the reformation wasn't a veritable party of understanding and tolerance (Ireland, anyone?). By this logic, surely...
If you think driving a van into a crowd with the intent of killing multiple civilians is rational, then I hope I never meet you.
If the bible and the christian god were proven to be real, I'd of course concede that he exists. That doesn't mean that I'd become a christian, the reason for this being that I would refuse to...
For the fourth time in as many posts, I don't say that god can't exist, I'm not convinced that he does and therefore am an atheist. You can keep strawmanning if you like, but I've been explicitly...
Exactly. If you acknowledge that there's no good evidence for the existence of god, then why believe it? Alternatively, if you do have compelling evidence, please share.
And so we return full circle. How do you know that god exists? Furthermore, as a christian, you've already asserted that at some point in time, this god took a human form. He did this for a reason....
I didn't answer, because Settra already defeated his own argument and that oneliner was intended to show why what he said was wrong. Also, I'd recommend you re-read my last post, and then you'll...
First off, your attempt to dodge the question by implying a different definition of god is entirely unimpressive, as the question was directed at a Christian, who has a somewhat well-defined idea of...
Alright, go ahead and prove that god does exist in that case
The nature of Jesus was hotly contested by early christians whether you like it or not. The question was, roughly speaking, whether he was more a demigod like Hercules, a mortal made divine like some...
It would appear that the authors of Mark, Matthew and Luke, along with many early christians, didn't think that Jesus was in fact god: it is surely of the utmost theological importance whether Jesus...
Jesus is notoriously silent on the claim of being god with the exception of in John, which is coincidentally both the last written and the most different of the four canonical gospels. It is not a...
Consensus among historians of science is that the muslims of the ~8-12th century were in fact responsible for safeguarding and translating many Greek philosophical works, whereas European scholars of...
The OT doesn't even contend that Yahweh is the only god, it refers to competing gods multiple times. This means that the followers of the OT were actually just as polytheistic as everyone else living...
What you've done here is answer the question "How can/could the bible be true?", which is an entirely distinct question from "How true is the bible?" I appreciate your effort in trying to clear up...
How many people believe something has absolutely no bearing on whether it's true, so "lots of people believe x" cannot be used to determine how true the bible is.
By this reasoning, I could take...
The implication that experiencing pain is your own fault for not being harmonious with your environment is frankly insulting. If us being able to experience pain is supposed to teach us how to behave...
Such an interpretation of the bible would be an entirely post-hoc rationalization of what it actually says. It'd be akin to trying to show how Aristotle's natural philosophy predicted quantum...
The undisputed government inventing enemies for political reasons is in no way a revolution. A (political) revolution by definition involves a change in the governance of a country. This is clearly...
Pretty sure the Kingdom of God as presented originally by apocalyptic jews would be an actual kingdom on earth, overseen by the big man or one of his underlings. I'd imagine that in this hypothetical...
“We’re all clear up to the crevice, Sir,” Specialist Hugo reported over voice comm. “We’re getting readings of radiation, and the temperature seems to be rapidly increasing. No ambient light.” The...
Justice For Cookie
Agree with this, even if the blackmail part of the message was obviously a joke, it was brought to your attention that Commodus didn't fulfil the requirements.
Application is a bit barebones but from interacting with this person I can say they definitely deserve it. Next time, please put some effort in. For now though, Support.
Of course you're not obliged to do anything, but it'd go a long way in making your attempt at an argument more convincing. Simply put, you don't want to elaborate because you can't.
I've provided a claim and data from an independent source to back up that claim. You, meanwhile, have done nothing except insinuate that some other unnamed factor is the root cause of the issue. If...
I think the solution here is obvious. I suggest all in favour of this proposal start referring until either their keyboards give out, or the matter is pressing enough to consider measures.
That...
We'll cross that bridge if we get to it, I was under the impression that you and I were having a discussion also.
Since you've (still!) not provided me with your answer but only pointed me to a...
I don't know, but as I've said three times now, it's entirely irrelevant to the question I asked what the number for Iran is, whether it be 100%, 0%, or somewhere in between.
You're dodging the question. Again, even if the number were 0 in Iran, which it isn't, I've provided evidence that women and men are not regarded as equals by many (a majority, even) muslims, which...
There is plenty of text in there, but very little incentive for discussion. I could post a poem about how great my grandmom is, but that wouldn't be a basis for discussion either. If anything, it...
OP gives no actual point to discuss, but I'll bite.

See graph above. Why is it that, in a religion that OP...
