Actually i hit the "post reply" button while driving on the freeway prematurely. I forgot to finish the sentence by adding this: "...has anyone seen the movie, Gossip? :lol: There are two sides of gossip, and most of us are focusing far too much on the negative aspect. the positive side...

Most of those contradictions depend on a literal reading of the bible, which is the same mistake Christian fundamentalists make. So, I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to blandish those apparent "contradictions" to a liberal christian who can think past the level of surface grammar.

Indeed. There's no good, solid answer for why people gossip, but the best place to start is studying the dynamics of group behavior, and that is found between sociology and psychology, or social psychology. If we can establish a relatively plausible sketch of human psychology to describe...

Well, you're not being fair. You also did not explain clearly what you meant by "truth" in your opening post, so Askjo was within his rights to post his views on what truth was, and why the deaf do not subscribe to its importance. Quite odd that your first response in this thread was to...

Askjo is certainly entitled to his fanatic opinions. I may not agree with him, but I will defend his right to express an opinion, no matter how one-sided or narrow-minded it is. :laugh2:

Again, Askjo out does himself in his myopia. Let's examine his latest contribution: He must think a bald assertion is true by default. But it remains to be seen whether he can prove it. :roll:

Not to rip off Pontius Pilate's famous line... but nonetheless! What is truth, truthmatters? :lol:

Obviously handwaving something away doesn't make it false. :roll: Talk about evading the point. Since none of y'all can think for yourselves, that must be the best you can come up with. :dunno: Your response reminds me of a little kid with fingers stuck in both of his ears and going...

Like a busted vinyl record, Askjo repeats himself Askjo Instead of preaching at me, can you at least try and read my post and talk to me? If that is too hard for you, then don't bother. Nothing what you said addresses anything what i wrote. Not in the ballpark, not even in the same sport of a...

Wrong! Of course he bears the responsibility, because he created everything and determined all the laws of nature in his perfect omniscience. Plus he knew everything before he created anything, if we are to buy the premise that God has perfect knowledge, then he is responsible for all...

Given this type of mythology, i can't hide my contempt for the view that i will be tortured eternally because i cannot believe a loving God would torture me eternally.

Even heretics pay lip service to God! Red Fox is my new Master! All hail the Great Red Fox! Bow down before your new Master, cretins! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: But seriously... If anyone is interested, i can expand on the philosophical implications of the "why" question, or the...

Daft, you're giving people way too much credit. Since people use only one intellectual faculty when they read the bible, they take the literal meaning at face value, because their grammatical skills are usually below average. On top of that a lot of deaf people have poor reading and writing...

My word! I didn't know you were a comedienne! :dance2: Since not being able to name the mystery scientist or answer any of my questions, and argue by website, i think Leibling doesn't have much of a case, other than a desire to believe the inerrancy of the bible. It is quite funny how...

Is that what you believe? :laugh2: All the special pleading in the world can't make that case! There's not one scientific fact in the link, not even one iota of plausiblity. Just a bunch of unsupported assertions. Dragons are nothing like dinosaurs. Go check chinese representations and other...

I guess you concede all points, and there is no scientist at all. Now moving on to your new questions. From the dinosaurs or other prehistoric animals preserved over a long period of time. That is correct, the bible does not mention fossils at all. They're petrified remains of prehistoric...

Silly kid! Dinosaurs aren't either Dragons, Reptiles or Tannin. :laugh2: Dragons are mythological creatures, and their resemblance to actual Dinosaurs is purely imaginary. Any effort to establish a relation between the two is a straw-grasping exercise. Reptiles are cold blooded animals...

Since we're quoting the bible, here's another one, custom-made for you, Daft: ..cast not pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.... What you are sharing is valuable, but they will not appreciate it. :doh:

Heh. All my posts are gone, no thanks to crybabies and the powers-that-be with ambiguous agendas. But i'll post my opinion here: there are no explicit references to dinosaurs in the bible. Any claim to the contrary is mere anachronism and retrojection of modern knowledge where it does not...

Interesting OP, Magatsu. I recommend this book on the history of fundamentalism, The Battle for God, by Karen Armstrong. She records the rise of fundamentalism in the 3 major monotheistic religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity within the last several centuries. It is very sad that...
