lawrocket 3 #101 July 21, 2011 Quote Quote Quote If God were to reveal his Shekinah Glory to non believers, wouldn't they still think he's a "fucking dick," . . . I guess that would depend on whether he was acting like a fucking dick when he revealed himself.... I mean, if he caused me to spill hot coffee in my lap or something... And... you just may have a personal injury lawsuit against the The Almighty. Just in case, you might want to contact Andy or Lawrocket. There'd be glory in it. But no money... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ECVZZ 0 #106 July 21, 2011 Quote Way back when, it was clear to all Christians that a "careful reading of the translations" revealed that the Earth was the center of the universe. And you people are still all fucked up! Anyone who's ever spent any time in California can tell you that the earth moves, and does so quite regularly. The universe however, is quite another story. The universe actually revolves around my ex wife...she will gladly point that out to you post-haste. Oh..., and the world is flat. Definitely flat. If I ever went any farther than Colorado on a hunting trip I was quite sure (per the ex) that I would fall off the edge of the world and be eaten by monsters. Imagine my shock when I finally made a trip to the farm and found out it was true! Things sure had changed since my childhood in Florida. I'm much better since the divorce. G.

ECVZZ 0 #104 July 21, 2011 Quote Quote I say he's a dick[/url]] Maybe you meant "they are dicks". "The boy apparently broke from his grandmother's grip and ran into the path of the truck." . . . "Some relatives of the victim said the driver was going faster than the posted speed limit." Blame anybody and everybody but the cause. Trucks, drivers, bumpers, truck owner, brake pad manufacturer, asphalt company, truck driver's dog..... As if... . It's plain to see that it's the county's fault for building a road where children play in the first place. Sue the county (not that they won't anyway; deep pockets and all that). G.

ECVZZ 0 #105 July 21, 2011 QuoteSee, actual divine intervention, now that would be proof How the hell would you "prove" divine intervention??? No, really. I'm curious. I'm also agnostic, but if you could "prove" divine intervention, it just may be the answer to a question I've had for nearly 40 years. BTW, a Jesus face on Waffle House toast ain't gonna get it either. G. Jones "I've never been quarantined. But the more I look around, the more I think it might not be a bad idea."

ECVZZ 0 #106 July 21, 2011 Quote Way back when, it was clear to all Christians that a "careful reading of the translations" revealed that the Earth was the center of the universe. And you people are still all fucked up! Anyone who's ever spent any time in California can tell you that the earth moves, and does so quite regularly. The universe however, is quite another story. The universe actually revolves around my ex wife...she will gladly point that out to you post-haste. Oh..., and the world is flat. Definitely flat. If I ever went any farther than Colorado on a hunting trip I was quite sure (per the ex) that I would fall off the edge of the world and be eaten by monsters. Imagine my shock when I finally made a trip to the farm and found out it was true! Things sure had changed since my childhood in Florida. I'm much better since the divorce. G.

Turning the White House into cheese. Showing me the horsehead nebula from the inside. Miracle-y things. Although of course all that might turn out to just super bitchin' alien technology, so maybe proof is the wrong word, but if a guy turned up who could do that and claimed he was god, I'd at least hear him out.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I don't think he'd be too concerned with giving you an explanation and hearing him out... I think He's say something more like... "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

tkhayes 126 #120 July 22, 2011 QuoteBible isn't a science textbook. Isn't it? Is is after-all, the infallible word of God himself right? So is it literal or not? And who are you to decide if it is or not? Being the word of God himself, I kinda doubt that it is fiction - it is supposed to be FACT. And if it is fact, then it qualifies as a textbook. The book of Genesis contradicts science. Wholeheartedly and totally. And once again, if you disagree that the world is 6000 years old (or whatever close to that), then you are going against the staunch beliefs of many of your so-called 'Christian' allies, who believe in the literal belief of the Bible. So again, i state that you are misled by the very fact that you Christians cannot decide what version you want to follow and what version is correct. Which again, puts your belief structure up for objective criticism. and rightly so. Science is all about objective criticism. We modify and alter our theories (and facts) when the evidence contradicts the belief structure. The world was flat, it is no more. The world was made 6000 years ago - we now know that this is bullshit. All humans descended from a common ancestor somewhere in Africa, we do not know exactly when, but we're pretty fucking sure. And they were not white, nor were they in a garden of eden. Religion appears to allow you to choose bits and pieces that are convenient to believe and ignore the rest, despite OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary. So stop making statements like the 'bible is not a textbook', because enough Christians believe that it is. Just because you don't, does not make a standard for the rest of the world. At least us 'non-believers' believe that we evolved from a common ancestor and that the world is some 5 billion years old. and rightly so. The evidence supports it. The Bible does not.

The Bible is a spiritual textbook, and will show you the way to salvation in this life and the next. the original argument was "Science and the Bible/Christianity do not conflict with each other" Bullshit. A discussion of whether the Bible is or is not a 'science textbook' is nothing more than a distraction from this argument. claims are made over and over that the Bible is the word of God, that 'He' exists, blah blah blah. bullshit.

I wish that these yahoos would, also. http://www.biblicalscholarship.net/year1s.htm The first paragraph in the above link is enough to make one split their side laughing. No intelligent person could ever take crap like that serious. It should never be shoved into a developing mind. This one should be on Comedy Central. http://www.ecreationscience.com/Classes.html Arkansas = Stupidity http://www.apsrc.net/NewsLetter/NewsletterDisplay.asp?p1=205&p2=Y&Sort= The bible is not science. It is not history. At the most, it is creative writing.
