Yes but we have asked you repeatedly now to give examples to support this position? Name a country? Any country? Also explain why countries that do not embrace religion are doing so well without it both financially and socially?
Yes and the Palestinians and and the Jews? They have been fighting their war based in the bible thousands of years now.
So you are in fact claiming that you feel it is the "lack of access" to religion that was the eventual downfall oif the USSR? Alright, you can explain that or else explain why countries today such as Sweden and Denmark are doing just fine? They do not embrace religion to even near the extent the US does.
Like you began to understand about Paul? I was actually pointing out that this is probably why we have so many different interpretations of scripture and so many varying denominations of Christianity. They ALL argue and ALL are convinced that their way is the correct and ONLY way of interpreting this craziness. That was my point and I apologize if it was unclear.
Yes it’s nearly impossible to read and each and every person that reads it comes away with a different understanding. And then you are accused of not having "faith" if you disagree with something in it. A good portion of it is horrible and immoral. The rest is conflicting accounts of events. It seems to lack continuity which is probably because it was written by tons of different people.
I thought you might have been a Liberal Christian which I tend to get along with just fine. Usually the only ones I will debate/argue with are those that believe in "biblical inerrancy."
Not you so much. I also agree with the Atheists on forum a good portion of the time. Thats only because they tend to make more sense and are speaking from an analytical standpoint rather than an emotonal one.
She has attacked me several times just so you know on other threads. A friend of mine (who happens to be an atheist named Crotalus) actually had one of his threads pulled because she insisted on starting fights with people on it. I can also quote the post. Clearly I was the person who she had indicated as being "oppositional" yet she failed to use my name. I’m willing to drop it (for the sake of the thread and those participating) if she will also. I was ignoring her and have been for quite some time.
Im not fighting with her HL. She does this. She did it on Crotalus's thread and the idea is to crate a bonfire (huge argument) to the point that 3 and 4 people go to admin and then the thread gets pulled. Ive been on these forums so many years now, there is nothing I have not seen nor Modus Operandi I am not familuar with.
Yes its very hard I can imagine. I think the two things you have to be able to see eye to eye on is politics and religion because relationships are so trying anyway, that if you have that additional stress placed on it, its bound to cause serious trouble down the line. Escpecially if one or the other feels that they are "compromising."
This is the second time you have done this in order to get a thread shut down. I am ignoring you and just sent a report to admin. This will be your second ban.
Well since you failed to use a name (in order to not be banned for starting fights) how would we have any way of knowing who or what you were addressing...sweetie?
Then it was implied that "mother earth" should somehow clear up the mystery. I simply informed you that earth based spirituality was associated with Paganism and early human religion.
That’s only Gaia but the understanding of earth based spirituality "Mother Earth" goes back as far as humans have walked the planet. Most all early forms of spirituality revolved around the earth, the mother, the seasons so on and so forth. That’s all I meant. You don’t need to take offense and act as if I insulted you...gosh.
Well from what I recall, when I very first joined this site, you had a thread running and I asked you to explain some of the OT and the Mosaic Laws and how you could justify your god as being kind and compassionate as you were implying in your thread. You initially instructed me to read the NT which has at least 14 books written by Paul.
That’s good.
Well in that case about 2/3 of the NT should be rejected outright.
But I thought we were discussing the bible just now? Many Christians believe it to be "divinely inspired" even though you don’t.
And I was never addressing you in fact was I? I was actually posting those quotes from Paul because that other lady mentioned she was a "big fan of him" so you need to relax. I understand you don’t take much of the NT as anything other than Paul’s hang ups.
