Re: The sacrifice of Isaac shows the divine inspiration of scripture
He Himself claims that He is the subject of all the OT messianic prophecies.
Can you show actual writings by him that say this? Or some first person contemporary sources that quote him saying this.
Or do you just have tradition?

Just saying no would have been much easier

Re: The sacrifice of Isaac shows the divine inspiration of scripture
But you have nothing to show who was the author of John, or when it was written.
If it was a John, John who?

How very christian of you.
I can not understand the hate toward people that disagree with you. You must be very insecure in your beliefs and your self. You are worthy of pity, nothing more.

Re: Peculiar People
Christianity is unique in that God found us---we did not have to go seeking Him.
Hubris much?
You do realize most religions would claim the same thing.

Re: By Their Fruits
So lets see if I have this correct.
Calvinism is following some of the preaching of Calvin.
HyperCalvinism is following all of the preaching of Calvin.
Therefore Calvin was not following biblical teaching.

Re: King Josiah's restoration of Israel to proper worship of their God
Paul met Jesus
On the road to Damascus?
Doesn't really count since it was a supposed vision. Paul never met a physical person Jesus Christ that did the things imagined in the Gospels.

Re: The blind bias of modern man is all you have, not evidence
If Paul changed the story in each telling, then by virtue of the definition of inerrant, then it would not be inerrant.

Richard Carrier also addresses a lot of issues.

Re: learning basics
I am also a product of a Christian upbringing. Even had aspirations of being a priest.
I end up far removed from that.
I could have written that. My motivation to become a priest was mainly academic. I saw it as a way to spend a life of studying and learning. I couldn't drink the kool-aid and am now, I am not only an atheist but I am quite anti-religious too.
The evils in name of religion are too many to overlook.

Re: Mark: identity and geography
Also, even if Mark wrote it, who is this Mark? We have no biographical, or historical evidence of who he was. Why should we trust writings of someone, who for all intents and purposes is anonymous?

Re: An irreconcilable clash of world views
You would think that god guy would be better at explaining things and writing things clearly. According to what you are saying, what is written is a real clusterfuck. Is English really that hard?
