It would be a "tidy explanation" for the comment, "I do not know" which so many people seem to dread like small pox. We humans do tend to human-chauvi...

No one should care... ...BUT...the Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with Jesus. (A common mistake made by non-Catholics and sometimes by Cathol...

Not listening to it right at the moment, but there is a television theme that has haunted me from the very first time I heard it. Just gonna recommend...

Agreed!

If anything... ...science is inherently AGNOSTIC. That is the object of science...attempting to figure out what is going on here.

By the way...I worked in New York back in the late 1970's early 1980's...and knew three people who were in transition back then...way before it became...

Most decent people will, Sarah. Be tolerant, that is...not hate you for any reason.

Thank, ssu.

The Rachel Maddow interview with Parnas last night was a scorcher. Parnas was very credible and forthcoming...and a hell of a lot more likable than I ...

Not sure of what your "research" entailed, Baden, but of course it may have been just a silly mistake. I do not know Danny Baker...and he may be a tot...

It definitely is possible, Frank. It also is possible that I will hit our states lottery tomorrow night...and win $6 to $8 million.

Tell me...do you think Danny Baker was telling the truth when he said he did not realize his picture of a couple with a chimp in a tweet about Meghan ...

Oops. Sorry. I actually feel your opponents position is so untenable that it seems almost as though he/she is joking. The difference between never hav...

One of the potentially useful side effects of this issue...is the way pronouns are getting increased attention. Pronouns can be a pain-in-the-ass in I...

I'm sure we can all agree that one thing everyone shares is: At one point, we've all been children. At one point we all were infants...then toddlers.....

Thank you, Qwex. I was going to say, "Don't mention it" to lighten things up a bit...but instead, allow me to extend an apology of my own for getting ...

I did no such thing. No...Jesus does not exist. If such a person existed...he is long dead. If are actually asking if Jesus EVER EXISTED...which is wh...

No I do not. I use it exactly as it is supposed to be used. NO I DID NOT. If you are suggesting that I capitalized the "H" in "he" when referring to J...

WHO does?

What the fuck does "What the fuck does 'He' mean? - Je'sus? What were you asking there...and to whom were you addressing the question?

Yeah, of course you can change sex. I do it all the time. Sometimes on top, sometimes on the bottom, face to face or...uhhh, the other way. Kama Sutra...

Look at it through this lens: During his lifetime, Vincent Van Gogh sold only one painting...and at a pittance. The last Van Gogh sold was priced at $...

And you KNOW that...how? Do you KNOW it the same way Christians KNOW that there is a GOD...that Jesus was its son...and that he died on a cross? Inter...

I agree.

And it could lead to world fame. Imagine the accolades for having accomplished what the finest minds that have ever existed on planet Earth have faile...

Thanks, Dev. Happy you feel that way. Glad we have that particular thing in common.

Yep. Meghan seems like a decent person to me...Harry seems like an up-right guy. He, understandably, is remembering how the British press hounded his ...

Lot to digest here, Jam, and I'll take some time later to chew more thoroughly. But one thing mentioned rang a bell that I have no interest in unringi...

It may leave you as a deist...but it most assuredly does not leave me as mostly atheist. I'd sooner become a Trump supporter than an atheist...and I w...

Okay...so let's take my estimate of probability into account. I am saying that my estimate, as scientifically derived as yours, shows a probability of...

IF this existence ALL is the result of chance...and if existence if infinite and eternal.. ...a billion to one shot amounts to dead certainty.

To suppose one can refine those percentages logically... ...totally biased.

Not bad at all. Here is my probability estimate for the same proposition. 4 to 1 that there is no "creator." I flipped Mr. Coin (the coin I use to res...

No. I am not making an estimate at all. I am giving a definitive answer. I DO NOT KNOW. I understand that. There are at least five people in the other...

I do not do "believing" on these kinds of issues, Devans. They are beyond human understanding...and any "belief" would be nothing more than a blind gu...

This reminds me so much of a guy I used to debate over in the old New York Times forum, ABUZZ. The guy was absolutely positive that a god exists (the ...

I ask my question again...because your initial premise seems like nothing more than begging the question. You are essentially starting your argument w...

The "Resurrection" was hugely important...and apparently still is, I grant that. But Christianity today should spend a lot more time considering what ...

One of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make is: Is Pascal's Wager or Occum's Razor the most useless philosophical concept of all times. ...

Wow...still at this kind of thing, Devans. Okay...I admire your tenacity. Question: Any chance we can get a P1 and P2 that gets us to" Therefore, the ...

It is at least possible that Christianity IS where it is...without Jesus having actually died on a cross. Christianity may be the culmination of a lon...

But you are deciding a question I am raising is both "poor language" "substandard quality" and "flaming." All I want to do is to discuss the topic.

Are you saying that the censoring is going on for this reason??? Holy shit! In any case, I am not the "only one" who thinks it is important.

This is an absurdity...and it appears the entire forum is an absurdity. I've now had three deletions...all of which bear on the subject for which the ...

Now...if you do not mind, I'd like someone who knows what the hell they are talking about to answer my question. Okay?

It has lots to do with life as I know it, BC. Right here, for instance, I am being shut-out with a topic I consider of paramount importance to being r...

Not at all...but it does seem you feel better about yourself by venting that way. I laughed. It is the best response I can give you.

Baden...the point I was making with the initiation of that thread....was the absurdity of language being designated as appropriate or inappropriate ba...
