Religion or Science - How do they compare?

Fortunately, dictionaries are not authoritative and include multiple definitions plus they evolve as usages change.

They often shop dictionaries until they find one that agrees with their desired outcome.Just like they do with quotes from the Bible.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

And I fully support your right to believe what you post. However you are attributing a position to me that I have never espoused. Edited by jar, : added second section.

And you are taking things out of context and emulating Faith.I call Faith a liar when she uses willful ignorance as an excuse to believe matters that are factually false and demonstrably false and then assert those beliefs as though they were reality.If she would simply assert they were her beliefs I'd give her the same benefit of the doubt I try to give you; but you guys seem to work very hard to make that difficult.

Agreed, but that is as I said, irrelevant. Willful ignorance is not a valid excuse.AbE: As I have said, if she would post as her beliefs I don't think anyone would really care; but belief and fact are not synonymous.Edited by jar, : see AbE:

Which true Creator God? Allah? Or one from this partial list of creator Gods.

Unless it was GODs.But how can one such thing be identified.The Great A'Tuin for example can be identified although as expected no one knows what sex the Great A'Tuin might be.

Then we cannot present God or god or even GOD as a reality. We can only present something created by man.

Of course scientists are biased but that is the strength of the Scientific Method. The result of any scientist are considered biased and thus replication by other scientists are a necessary step.It is that assumption that any results reported are wrong and biased until a whole body of other independent groups replicate the results and that even then the results are held only tentatively that separates science from religion.

The fact remains that Roman Catholicism is still Christian Faith despite your fantasies.

That might be a reasonable position to take with those who seem to understand there is a difference between belief and reality.But there are many where it seems that they cannot differentiate between belief and reality.

But what is actually written in the story Phat?

Yet the reality remains that I am a registered, enrolled member of a recognized Christian sect and thus a Christian despite your fantasies. Yet the reality is that the Pope is a Christian and that you asserted the fantasies of your Cult in Message 387. Yet the reality is that I believe the Bible actually says what it says instead of the fantasies of your Cult and so quote what the Bible actually says.Edited by jar, : fix sub-title

Yet reality shows that I believe the Bible actually says what it says. Theologians galore just make shit up to deny that the Bible actually says what it says.No one finds out whether they are saved until after they have died. Many do lie to themselves telling themselves that the know they are saved.

Yes Faith, the author of John did make such claims but offered nothing in support for his revisionist presentation. It's a great marketing gimmick with no real product liability for those folk selling that fiction. Yet I actually believe the Bible says what is written in the stories and do not try to make shit up to explain away the errors and contradictions.
