• ‘The View’ Ladies Side With S.E. Cupp Over Hustler Photo During Studio Interview

  It is sad that the 1st ammendment can be the backing for childish behavior. Leave it to the smut magazine to take it to that level. . . . . .of course they would. They walk on the level of an animal. No, I take that back. They are lower than the animal.

  Feel free to have the last word. We have nothing else to talk about.

  Here’s the issue. You SEEM to have an elitist attitude. “You really CAN‘T be good if you don’t believe MY way”. Making the claim “a person can’t really be moral unless they do it for the love of a god” is ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. . . and further discussion is useless with you. You believe you have it figured out and those who don’t believe as you are [somehow] equivelent to “second class citizens”. Well, screw you. I’m done with you.

  If it seems unlikely, it probably is. Fallacy or not, . . . that is reality. I do not see anything of credibility in what you have proposed, and your attempt at making me look foolish [fallacy this and fallacy that] is just you attempting to show yourself as “better thana me”. . . .just like in our other discussion.

  You have nothing on me. You’re not better than me because you “believe in a god”. I’m not saying that you openly said this, but it is what one can gather from your comments. The FACTS are, you have no evidence for your claims and I would no more believe the christian version of “what people expect me to believe” than I would the back woods hillbilly claiming that “I need to believe he was abducted by aliens”.

  And that is your opinion, sir.

  Forgot to add:

  As for “the triangle”, . . . I can SEE a triangle. I can make one with my neice. It can be held and even manipulated. I don’t have to “trust what someone tells me is ‘a triangle’ before accepting the concept”.

  You can keep repeating that “Jesus fulfilled prophesies”, but they are just words . . . when [as I pointed out] you can make anything into a “prophesy”, given enough words that have similar stories. Why should similar stories be credible? People are people. . . and history of people often repeats. And when you MUST take a small snippet out of the context of the narrative, . . . it makes that snippet unconvincing. Again, credible shouldn’t have to be highly interpreted.

  As for the issue with “conceptual”, . . . I didn’t reject anything because it was JUST conceptual. I was saying that I [as a christian, in my past] was unable to make the transfer to reality. Nothing special was there, just what some OTHER person expected me to believe [without evidence]. Countless times at the alter, “on my face before god”, . . . coming away empty, . . . and not because I wasn’t truly seeking. There just wasn’t anything there of value. Just myself.

  As for the “list of prophecies”. . . . .even doing a spot check on them. . . it is exactly as I stated. VAGUE sections that have barely a slight resemblance to something Jesus narative states. I mean, the whole story of the Hebrews sinning and god requiring a bronze snake being lifted up on a pole, . . . and that somehow being a prophesy of “Jesus on the cross”??? That is exactly the misrepresentation I’m talking about. Just because something was “lifted up” hundreds of years before, . . . it must therefore, according to christian apologetics, be “a prophesy of a lifted up cross”.

  Again, exactly what I mean. Anything, vague enough, can point to anything. What would have been MORE compelling would have been Numbers 21:9 also stating, . . . “……just as the Messiah will be lifted up for the sins of the world.” Let me be clear. If it is precise, it is compelling. If not, . . . it is just one person’s interpretation over anothers, . . . thus useless.

  I’m not sure why you posted all of that. Maybe I wasn’t clear. To me, the idea of “god” or “Jesus” is just conceptual. . . meaning, it doesn’t have anything of realism to it. It is a book [the bible], a pastor telling people how to believe, requirements that show you as “a christian”. . . . . but there is nothing there over any other religion that requires “belief by faith”. If it were absolute. . . . incapable of being denied, then at least that would be a start. But as it is, . . . christianity is just another club that people want me to join for my fee payments.

  Words are cheap. Actions are where a man is judged. If you knew me, you would only be able to conclude that I am a good person.
