Maybe you're a cryptologist and you didn't know it.

"Babydoll! Take a look here! I just done founded one of the biggest dang car companies in the whole big wide world!!"

I did think your attack on the humorless Ms. Collins was a bit over the top, considering her low station in life as a banana pronouncer.

Hope this answers your question.

Someone ask me a question so I can respond with an audio file. Not gonna say exactly how I'll respond, but this is the SHOUT box, so you figure out wh...

Feel free to upload your own audio file.

I don't travel with the literalists. They're your kin. But sure, to the extent there are those advocating throwing stones at little girls' heads, I st...

Very poor response, but thanks anyway.

I thought Brits said "rubbish" and not garbage. I'm beginning to question your Britishness. Just exactly who are you?

More importantly, the audio file I uploaded has now given me the idea of endless entertainment of things I can upload. Maybe I'll share talking to my ...

I'm told the potassium in bananas keeps your muscles from spasming, but what I find more interesting is how it is pronounced. I say bu-na-nuh whereas ...

It's not reactionary and defensive, but I'd describe it as your providing an attack against a position that is not held by anyone in this thread. As I...

Yep. I spent 60 days in "the hole" with "the man." Would've killed a weaker person.

Where I live, we have to go to the yard and live in a small box for 30 days if we get Covid. We call it the hotbox. Once I did 60 days for talking bac...

How dare you deny the existence of my ancestral homeland, where Jebidiah Hanover first settled with his sister and the 12 children God blessed them wi...

The name of my hometown was Shithole, Georgia just across the Dung River from Happyville. When it got cold, the shit mist would freeze and block the s...

Thank you. Again, I was most instrumental in their success. It is sad for the people of Alabama. They are poor, dirty, stupid, and toothless. All they...

@"Banno"@"Isaac"Just to throw in this anecdote to maybe clarify my prior points. I went to a bar mitzvah service this weekend at an Orthodox synagogue...

I once heard that Catholic priests were raping children and the Church covered it up. That's a worse misdeed. And there's even worse than that by many...

I'm not going to defend every practice with the LDS church, nor of any institution on the face of the planet. I'm also not going to recognize any simi...

They do. A most wonderful people. Their disaster relief is truly awe inspiring. I went on some hurricane relief trips with them into areas devastated ...

Your first question ("who says?") is answered by yourself in your response to me. You can ask or watch because they are the same thing, meaning they d...

And your review of this book is what? That book is written by a Mormon. The Mormons have their own canon (Bible, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Grea...

Eating at the Y means something probably different for you than me as well.

How about you just walk up, undress by the side of the pool, throw your clothes in a corner, swim your naked ass until you've swum your swim, get out,...

Nope, that's an irrelevant distinction. The question of what a document means is interpreted by the method agreed upon by those who use the document a...

I used Libby this morning actually. You can even get books that talk to you.

This is just incorrect and largely why you're not afforded a seat at the table when offering interpretations of biblical sources. There's nothing mean...

They've had over two hundred years to pass whatever laws they wanted to where I live. If they wanted to stone folks, they would have by now. Maybe it'...

The Southern Baptists don't stone people.

But let's admit at least to the importance of looking at how the words have actually been interpreted by those who use them as opposed to how they mig...

I believe there are those who read the kindest and gentlest of words, whether it be from the bible or wherever, to do terrible things. So, yes. There ...

Sort of, yes. If you read a single page of a legal document without putting it into the context of other controlling documents and opinions and rules,...

I don't know that I have responsibility to defend the Bible. I don't care what people think about it enough to do that. My only point is that if someo...

But let's not pretend they are examples of condoned conduct. See above and see here

Let's look at this from a broader perspective when we're referencing biblical interpretation. Keep in mind the legalistic nature of the interpretation...

Jewish interpretation doesn't limit itself to the text, but it relies upon an oral tradition, that tradition holds, was passed down at the time the To...

You have reduced the Bible to a single passage you do realize, as if the entire book goes on and on about stoning girls. Perhaps if you give the speci...

More fundamental to the question of whether a virus has a will to live is whether viruses are ever alive at all. https://microbiologysociety.org/publi...

Myths aren't factual, which was my point. They are aspirational. If we critique our myths, we realign our aspirations, not the facts. It's for that re...

And I don't see that as a problematic objection any more than how it might apply to any other foundational document, as I noted in reference to the US...

What is the empirical basis you have for claiming that those who have carefully interpreted the Bible to read that it's not OK to stone girls to death...

Should we start with the belief that the Bible is the literal inerrant word of an omni-benevolent God, then any negative interpretation would necessar...

With regard to the Leeuwen article, I see it as clearly showing the inherent weakness of relying upon religious doctrine to prove physical facts about...

I did locate your Leeuwen article (https://philpapers.org/archive/VANRCI.pdf). I note he went to my alma mater, apparently having benefitted from the ...

I'd start by saying that we have to agree upon an interpretive method, and there's nothing special about literalism that might lead one to think it's ...

Let me find the article you're referring to. 22 pages. I keep up the best I can

Reading it non-literally is not special pleading. Reading it literally is. The majority of adherents to the Abrahamic traditions don't believe in ston...
