A listing of the contradictions and errors in the bible.

A word of advice:Personal attacks to the opposition do no favors to the cause, cowboy, and weakens your argument, no matter if you are 100% correct.Debate; don't insult.

Like I said, insults to the opposition do not help the cause.It doesn't matter what you are given. If you rise above you will always be taken more seriously than those who insult.I have noticed that you;1) become insulting when you don't have a good response2) become insulting even when you do have a good response sometimes3) always have an excuse for why it it OK to for you to insult an opponent.I repeat; you do yourself and "the cause" no favors when you are mean or insulting to the opposition.Remain clinical, analytical, impersonal, and you will garner respect.Take cheap shots, make personal insulting comments (think lobotomy) and you will show yourself to be no better than the Xtians who yell that you are going to hell if you don't believe as they do, or that all those who don't believe are degenerate.

Go to a nut house and look what you'll find. You won't find 5 crazy people telling the same crazy stories.

Sure you will.There are lots of men in there who say they are Jesus.Any xtians out there ever wonder if any of those guys might really be Jesus?

Actually they might as long as they are around each other enough.
I'm curious though, have you tried this or read any studies?

A long time ago I hearn an NPR story about a mental hospital in which there were several men who thought they were Jesus. The medical staff wondered what would happen if they put them in a room together. I don't remember the outcome, but I don't think they became violent, and I don't think any of them were fazed by the illogical idea that there could only be one Jesus.

You kind of late on this one.

Again, maybe you should read a little closer next time. I had said that it seemed to be a requirement that theists have one on the logic and reason centres of the brain. Others have said far worse things than that. Why don't you jump on them. Get with the program.

Usually if anything that is a bit rude is said, it is after a period of politeness.I will freely admit to having had to be nudged back on to the impersonal path by the moderators once or twice myself.If you don't want to take my advice, and instead wish to get defensive and excuse yourself, then I have already told you what the consequence will be.Do not try to tell me that you writing that Gene/Christians thinking the way they sometimes do was the result of having had a lobotomy was anything other than a personal slam.I am sorry that you feel singled out, but I feel the need to speak up.Attack the positiopn, not the person.Oh, and as far as "getting with the program", I have been a part of this forum since it was on Yahoo Clubs. I think it has to be at least 3 years now. I think I know "the program" quite well, thank you.Perhaps you might want to look over the forum guidelines yourself?[This message has been edited by schrafinator, 09-15-2002]
