All true. As is the fact that Christ was likely born in September, not December 25, but it all got co-mingled with pagan Saturnalia. We “should” tie the crucifixion and resurrection with Passover, as Jesus was truly the Passover Lamb. Using historical texts to support the Bible, the crucifixion likely took place on a Wednesday that year, meaning the resurrection would have been just before sundown on Saturday. But let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water here. If we make “Easter Sunday” a dogmatic kind of thing, instead of a celebration of what God did for us, getting the exact day/date correct is the least of our concerns. The day itself isn’t the point if you don’t turn things into a ritualistic obligation.

The vax is dangerous, harmful, and does nothing to stop the spread of covid or reduce the severity of it. Lockdowns, masks, etc., did nothing to slow the spread. Those are all well-established facts. But covid is a real thing. Manufactured in a chinese lab with US help and used as a weapon to rig an election and give the government more power, but very real. I think “long covid” is less it’s own thing and more a result of covid causing people’s underlying autoimmune issues to kick into high gear. Personal sample size of one in my case, but it’s exactly what happened to my unvaxxed wife.

Something that hasn’t made sense to me over the last few years… if the vid shot is so harmful, and the main people lining up to take dose after dose are leftists, why would the deep state keep pushing it knowing their allies would get killed off at a much faster rate than the rest of us? Reading this finally clears that up for me. Thank you for posting.

Earthquake in North Central Illinois as well. Not unheard of, one of the most dangerous faultlines in the world is down near St. Louis, but interesting timing.

Was that before or after they saw Andy Williams in Branson, MO? 😂

Seems you’re over your own head, friend. I simply posited an opinion for others to ponder and comment on as they saw fit. Kind of a Steven Crowder “here’s my stance on x issue, change my mind” type of thing.

Amazing how easily some people get triggered. And how a post like this can bring out some crazies. Thanks for keeping your comments productive. If the OK at the end of your moniker is for the state, Boomer!

Israel already had that land and gave it back. If they kept all the land they won in defensive wars, they’d not only have full control of Gaza, but also Judea and Samaria AND the Sinai Peninsula.

I don’t know who is a believer and who is not; that’s between you and God. My post was more of a call for introspection and focus so as not to cloud otherwise cogent arguments.

“Holohoax.” I wish I had my reading glasses on the first two times I suffered through your nonsensical diatribe. I was assuming you were just not very bright, possibly retarded, so I was doing my best to be patient and loving, and formulate sentences even the simplest among us could understand. Had I caught your “holohoax” reference on first reading, I would have realized, while you still may very well be stupid/retarded, your main problem is you are a scumbag, not worth trying to reason with any further.

Whenever I ask, I get no answer. You are still missing a key point to this unicorn analogy - technically, we are currently discussing unicorn colors, even though (I assume) neither of us believe in unicorns. The point though is neither of us are saying “X cannot be true, because male unicorns are Y color.“ So to complete the circle here, it makes no sense to argue about biblical translations, which ones are true and which ones are not, if you don’t believe in the first place.

I get that part, I was just wondering why Grassley, from Iowa, wouldn’t use central time if it is comms. I want to know if I am missing what the explanation might be for the additional hour on top of the one between central and eastern.

Love it. But Iowa is central time. Shouldn’t he have posted that at 5:16PM?

Which fits perfectly the original point. In your scenario here, the person does believe in unicorns, he/she is just skeptical about the specifics of the white and purple thing. My argument is the person who doesn’t believe in unicorns sounds silly arguing about the color of said unicorns.

That’s for each individual to decide on their own. My point with the post is it’s silly to argue about what scripture does and doesn’t say if you don’t believe in it in the first place. As I’ve commented elsewhere here, that’s like arguing about what color male unicorns are when you don’t believe in unicorns in the first place.

The more accurate alternate title might be “Since I don’t believe in unicorns, it would be silly for me to argue that male unicorns are always blue and never green.”

Not at all what I wrote. The more accurate alternate title might be “Since I don’t believe in unicorns, it would be silly for me to argue that male unicorns are always blue and never green.”

That’s my point- I don’t know what the argument may be without knowing the foundation of your position. If you’re an atheist, or agnostic as your nom de plume might suggest, then I don’t have an argument with you at all because your stance is perfectly logical in that case.

If you do not believe that land belongs to Israel there are three “argument” options as I see them:

  • If you’re not a Christian, we could have an intelligent historical debate about inhabitants of the land.
  • If you are a Christian, but do not believe in the Bible, we could have an intelligent debate about how you could come to accept a faith without believing in its foundational documents; we could also have the same intelligent debate I’d have with the non-Christian regarding history. -if you are a Christian, and believe in the Bible on almost everything except this topic, our debate would have to be about Biblical interpretation or leaving the Bible out of it entirely and only talking history.
