An interesting point in itself from a 'scientifically rigorous' standpoint. This is the kind of 'mistake,' that we find all over religious fables, tha...
A depressing view that I am glad I don't share. The Universe is vast and has plenty of space and resources for new life. Laughter is a very subjective...
Mention of terms like Messianic has no relevance to my viewpoint. I am advocating teamwork, I never invoke 'hero' concepts as being part of the soluti...
I recognise the issues you describe but I don't agree with your conclusions. The dilemmas you describe all happen because we got human interaction all...
But there are always such claims. As soon as someone produces an authenticated copy of the gospels, dated to a time before the Greek manuscripts and t...
Such would be an 'assist,' an improvement on the status quo, in many countries. Although every citizen must be attentive to political matters regardle...
So are you saying that you just can't conceive of a society built and maintained by human beings within which millions of people are not slaughtered i...
I cant and if what you suggest was actually the case then I would be discussing the crimes humans have commited, in the name of 'Jupiter or some other...
Maybe, I think knowing the mind of Tacitus or what his motivations were or why he did this or that can only be pure conjecture. But in the absence of ...
Again, I don't accept that I am doing what you suggest. I am airing and exemplifying work done by individuals who are well qualified in the field and ...
Yes, that's true and it's why I posted a correction on him. I have not heard him state that he believes that the Jesus Christ described in the bible, ...
Well this thread is titled 'Jesus Freaks,' not 'Please fill in your chosen Messianic character freaks.' So my main focus for this thread has been Jesu...
:rofl: Please try not to be so infantile. Put your big boy trousers on and then you will perhaps understand that not everyone on this forum cares very...
I have debated many theists. I cannot speak for others but I have never been accused by any of them as having a 'hatred for religion.' I argue against...
Ok, You don't, I do. Yes it is and yes it does. If you want a panto exchange then I can provide one for you until I get bored doing so. You just make ...
Well, I disagree with your analysis of me and I am sure if I knew more about you, I would find some of your positions 'unbalanced' and 'weird' and 'ob...
Another point you should consider is that Ben Yussuf goes against the immaculate conception claim. If the virgin birth is true then calling the charac...
Why is not relevant? who do you believe was the true Jewish Messiah, prophesied in the old testament from the list available? I choose none of them, i...
Carlo Rovelli posits that the observer will cause the system to collapse so that a measurement can occur but he thinks that this collapse is only loca...
Well, many people use this fact as evidence that the jews could not have written the gospels. Why were the Gospels written in Greek? Perhaps because t...
I understand the majority of what you state here from the individual meanings of the words you use and the context within which you use them but I am ...
Maybe true, but there were many others who also claimed such titles: Dositheos the Samaritan, Simon bar Kokhba, Sabbatai Zevi, Simon the magician and ...
Tacitus suggested time was 56 AD - 120 AD Josephus suggested time was 37 AD - 100 AD I don't normally use AD and prefer BCE but based on the above, th...
I'm standing beside you Garrett, singing the same songs, determined to ensure a better way. All power to you! It was never about the ethnics, its alwa...
Well, we have had 10,000 years of tears to understand this freaking message. I get it, I am ready to be called an Earthling, no more nations, no more ...
I watch a lot of his YouTube stuff. I think he is very intelligent but he seems to me to have tremendous internal struggles. I watched an old video ch...
All we can do, is ask others to study this stuff. Perhaps we might even scream it from the pulpits of the internet and help move our species forward a...
There is nothing in the empty void except that which we bring with us. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. etc, etc. All the horrible experiences...
Do you think he struggles with his own sanity? I really like Sean Carroll. Listened to a great podcast between him and Carlo Rovelli on Loop Quantum G...
I think it goes back much further. Do we chastise the Lion for slaughtering a baby deer and consuming it or killing the cubs of a rival? It's 'law of ...
Well not being a philosopher and lacking in any qualifications in the field, I am quite limited in the philosophical terminology that I can call upon....
I would be interested in your opinion of Jordan Peterson? If you were willing to give it? Also, do you think neuroscientists such as Sam Harris can br...
"By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down, oh yes we will, when we remember Zion" The Babylonians contributed their stories to a section of early p...
Greetings brother! I could chat for a long time on Judaism and its connection with Canaanite gods like El, Asherah, BAAL etc and Christianity. How abo...
Would have certainly saved a lot of human lives but it's an old dilemma. Do what I say and live or go against me and take the risk that you, your love...
:rofl: It must seem that way to Christians. No, I for one would make similar arguments against other cults such as Mohamed and Islam or the Hindu pant...
Well I think it was more to do with empire building and the conquest and subtle subjugation of other peoples rather than 'persecution for sport' (but ...
A further point I would make is I think the insults, the parody and the satire continue to this day for followers of Christianity. I find it incredibl...
