Re: what a pathetic God Dredge markets
Percy, I hope you will wander over to the RC Sproul thread and contribute since the Unitarians and the Congregationalists represent one end of the church Governance spectrum. Of all the Denominational Churches the Congregationalists may well be the most bottom up as opposed to top down organization structure where even Doctrine is determined at the individual church level.
It would be great to have that structure and concept presented to contrast with the other organizational methods hopefully to be discussed.

Stop this. Your questions and accusations are like rocks hurled at my fragile, egg-shell mind.
So you're telling us repeatedly in several messages already that you are too feeble-minded to be able to understand anything you're told.
For once, I believe that you are telling us the truth.
You need to enlighten me on these points. Please explains zem.
Which would be doomed to failure because you are self-admittedly far too stupid and feeble-minded to be able to understand any explanation that anyone could offer. It would be a complete waste of time and effort. You have described yourself as being beyond redemption.
You're partly correct - not a theory, but excellent theology which can also accommodate the geological evidence of the history of the earth.
How could you possibly know that a theology is excellent and not pure bullshit? You are self-admittedly far too stupid and feeble-minded to be able to evaluate anything, let alone a theology.
If someone placed a cow-pie (ie, cow manure) on a plate in front of you and told you that it is delicious, you would gobble the whole thing with a big shit-eating grin on your face. As you have repeatedly described and repeatedly demonstrated, you are indeed that mentally deficient.
If you cannot keep up and can only post foolish nonsense, why even try? All you are accomplishing is to demonstrate the brain damage that your religion causes its followers.

The religion of Equality is a bit like the religion of Darwinism - it has only one enemy - reality. Restrictions on freedom of speech prevent me from expressing my thoughts about the insane, Marxist delusions of equality that exists in Western civilization. The senseless Loony Left laps up this demented, vacuous rubbish because it massages their egos and makes them feel morally superior.
And from the beginning (Eve in the Garden of Eden), Satan has used the sophistry of equality to deceive and harm mankind.

Re: what a pathetic God/World/Univers Dredge markets
Ignorance is bliss. ...
You must know. To me ignorance is like a 50 year old person still wearing a diaper and thinking it is the emperor's new clothes.
If that is bliss for you then enjoy it.
... The Achilles' Heel of the Left is their poor aptitude for distinguishing fact from fiction.
Then back up your statements with facts to show they aren't fiction. Bet you can't, bet you won't even try.
You don't know what facts are. Facts don't depend on politics or preferences, they are objective, empirical and indifferent to your biases.
Enjoy

Science and Evidence
In other words, you can't demonstrate that my theology is wrong.
But this is a science thread. Steer the topic back to the science and take beliefs elsewhere.

  • Please stay on topic for a thread. Open a new thread for new topics.
  • Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation.
  • The sincerely held beliefs of other members deserve your respect. Please keep discussion civil. Argue the position, not the person.

    In other words, you can't demonstrate that my theology is wrong.
    We already have, many times, repeatedly. You were incapable of understanding anything.
    Remember, you are the one who keeps telling us that you are far too mentally incompetent to understand anything at all. So you could not even begin to understand our explanations, as you have repeatedly stated explicitly. And you obviously are far too mentally incompetent (as you repeatedly admit yourself) to ever be able to evaluate any theology, let alone determine whether it's right or wrong.
    All of which ignores the simple fact that all theologies are wrong. All theologies are Man-made, are created by fallible humans. And given your degree of mental incompetence, which makes you far more fallible than most other humans, then the theology that you have created is in far worse shape than most others.
    Of course, you could decide to believe in human infallibility, but that's an extremely stupid thing to believe in.

    why bother?
    In other words, you can't demonstrate that my theology is wrong.
    There are many fantasies and delusions that we have no need to demonstrate whether or not they are "wrong" -- because they are irrelevant.
    You can believe any little conceptual framework you like to construct around your pet beliefs, but that doesn't make them real or relevant to any other person.
    If you would like to convince anyone that your mental ramblings are of value, the onus is on you to show how it is supported.
    And that's why science is better than any theology, especially those that are compiled from after the fact god-did-it that way blustering -- because if it IS wrong THAT can be demonstrated.
    Enjoy

    What "restrictions on freedom of speech" prevent you from expressing your opinions? Perhaps the moderators would prefer that you use another thread for your rantings (so would I) but I'm sure they'll let you have your say.

    Well, many fossils have been found but they cannot be submitted as evidence for evolution. Here's why:
    The fossils that have been discovered so far could represent only the tiniest fraction of the total number of fossils in existence. So our present fossil collection could be so small as to be "statistically insignificant". An election result can't be decided if only 0.01% of the votes have been counted, can it?
    Furthermore, since there is no way of knowing the total number of fossils in existence, there is no way of knowing when a "statistically significant" number of fossils have been collected. In which case, the fossil record can never be safely used as definitive empirical evidence for evolution.
