First let me say this thread grew too rapidly for me to follow. Although I am responsind to 'the entire' thread I simply have not had time to read it all. I am responding to what was the entire thread when I started my response - does that make sense(about as confusing as god, right). I mention this because if a point I am making has been discussed point me in that direction rather than jump down my throat and tug on my scrotum - ya dig? I wish I had more time to dick around on the net. All my dicking time was spent chatting with PHAT
 I am going to respond to about 50 things 15 individuals said - it has been a while since I have followed up. My first concern is the word, "belief" has been thrown around a lot. This is a dangerous word. Anyone who holds a belief they feel understand may not be true will most likely be able to accept this. Others well - LET THE DEBATE BEGIN! "Belief - A conclusion which was arrived at based on personal opinion, understanding and evidence'. Often if not always the believer refuses to admit there is an outstanding chance they could be incorrect. When dealing with issues of faith I think it is acceptable to remove the word, “often “ and replace it with always. 'The believer of faith based belief always refuses to admit their belief could be incorrect.'
[quote]believing what has been written about Him in the scriptures[quote] quote:. A belief that one knows: one knows christ is no more acceptable than a belief one knows they know Elvis is alive. However, for some reason if someone has a belief they know they know JC is real it is unacceptable to challenge it. If one knows they know Elvis is real they are medicated right away. The degree to which one is convinced this belief is true, the amount of passion one puts into a belief or the fact one is willing do die for a belief is not acceptable evidence the believing(knowing they know) is true. Many of the responses seemed to reflect the following train of thought, quote: Are you seriously suggesting we push universal skepticism forward? How do we know anything is real? How do we know we are infact communicating now? How do we know this isn't a dream? How do we know we are not someone's dream? Someone watched too The Matrix too much(I Know I have great flicks, no shit). However, someone crossed the line. I will gladly detail and discuss such crap if deemed mandatory. But, I feel enough said here right, folks? "god is real because: 'god is real' and I know I know him" is shaky ground. God is real because reality is real seems abusive to the word, some form of trickery (linguistically contortions) it seems something like my 8 year old says. Truthfully I am not sure what you are getting at. Could please re-explain. “Our eyes and ears could lie”?
quote:. Heh, LOL, OH MY JESUS GOD! I GOTTA PEE! This is simply your justification of you talking to air. If anyone else talked to air or claimed to be talking to anything other than YHWH - boogie man, spaghetti monster, Hitler, Elvis, aliens or leprechauns we would seek help for them immediately. I am going to vomit I am laughing so hard! Here it is! My favorite, quote:. This is how Hitler operated before he brutally, slaughtered, murdered and tortured almost every Jew in his country. Speech after public speech after public speech he reassured what he said was true. An elite group of men was formed (SS) they shouted his same message. An elite group of youth was formed (HM). Within these groups an elite board was elected. The only to justify the slaughter of the innocent was simply to unlearn what you have learned and accept the other side. Come-on now - I am in my late 20s. Not some 10 year old child. In order for you to be an anti-theist you have to stop being a theist and try being an anti-theist for a few months. When you are an anti-theist you simply accept everything anti-theist have written as true.(PS - this same type of logic is how suicide bombers recruit. I forget the name but NBC aired an outstanding show, like 20/20 on this, possibly I will look for it) I will stop here to see maddening behavior this digs up. I am only 1/4 through the list (15 people 50 'things')
OFF TOPIC - Please Do Not Respond to this message or continue in this vein. AdminPD Edited by AdminPD, : Major Warning
