i really don't know why you lot bother with this thread, why don't you make a thread about the chicken or the egg eh?i assume it would solve alot more than this thread ever could.
And what exactly do you think this thread is trying to solve ? It's a discussion, a place in which points of a chosen topic are discussed, there is no end result.It's not the Geneva Convention.
Just as an aside, how many of you have read the bible or any other religious texts?
there is a lot of historical evidence surrounding the Bible, and the recountings are from real people in our history, and since it is written by so many people all telling the same thing, I don't think it would be fair to instantly dismiss it as a bunch of crazy loons writing fictional stories for shits and giggles.We have a very mysterious ancient history, and unless you were actually there I don't think it would be good to critisize any of it.Also, if anything else, one of the good things about the Bible from what i've seen is that the scriptures are very good and wise teachings of character, morals, love of your fellow man, respect and appreciation of nature, ect. ect. and so forth. To be honest, if more people followed the teachings of the Bible the world would be a much happier place.Not trying to convince you or anything, but yeah just remember it is an ancient, sacred book with a lot of deep meaning to it (both literal and non-literal) and historical evidence to support a lot of it, so it would probably be a bit more wise to respect it rather than critisize it, mainly because you have no basis with which to critisize it.
Also the story of David & Goliath was in the city of Babylon wasn't it?
the bible is terrible at recounting history accurately. On friday night i watched the history channel show "Riddles of the bible"
I am, also, a thinking, creative, empathic human being who questions his own existence and seeks knowledge.
Newton also famously said "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me", knowing that he didn't have all the answers. No-one does.There is a clear and distinct difference between believng you are correct and respecting others' opinions. Turning around and saying someones post is "shit" or referring to people as ignorant morons is nothing more than an attack designed to infuriate them - which is an action detrimental to the fair rules of discussion. Thats all I'm trying to point out. Had you gone about this differently, by backing up your points and conceding when/where necessary, this discussion would be thriving right now.Thanks mate
A discussion would be a civil conversation, where as both sides are open minded and can talk like they are not fresh out of high school.This thread is a just a fucking flame fest. p.s not directed at you inmoition, as you seem to be able to have a civil conversation with out attacking someone, well in this thread anyway.
i wouldnt expect you to understand this discussion since it requires people to think.
I think you just proved that he is actually right in this case.
Q: What is a gentleman?A: A man who can play the accordion, but doesn\'t.
what! people defending cnvrt oh wait they have an agenda nvm
One day we will find the little green martians and UFO's on Mars, eh Ngati !
But it's only research, not gospel, so beware
About 60 pages of this is psyche quoting wikipedia and crazy religious people then abusing people who have alternate views.
If its not gospel I can't read it, sorry.j/k
It's morons like you that make this forum shit.
