So you can't articulate one thing that is remotely verifiable from your own life.
Is Iran controlled by the agencies?
Okay what promises? How could you possibly know it's not the power of your own mind? I think belief does have power but it is because of the power of the human mind, not because a god exists. What makes you think your religion is different than any other? They will all say the same thing: their god ended the drought, healed their illness, etc.
David Icke talked about him. That's all I'm saying.
I called you out on your belief that the bible is a first hand account and you haven't been able to respond to it at all. Instead you mindlessly repeat scripture that is not even related to the point. You have no ability to think anymore if you ever did.
You have lost the ability to think.
Pretty sure that's her great grandmother. I think the ghost writer actually made an error this time. What would be the point of intentionally switching her grandma and great grandma? Also, yeah looking so Indian there! This is retarded.
They must be amazing at getting inside scoops because I am not seeing this anywhere.
What's so strong or good or holy about believing lies? You believe the bible is a first hand account for starters. That's pretty wild you just believe that without learning about it ever.
Teeth cleaning at the dentist with flouride is more than questionable but you are definitely not supposed to drink it! Durrr...
Soul or spirit? I think there is a difference. Not sure there is such thing as a soul but have seen evidence of the spirit. A soul is supposed to be eternal, right? The spirit wanes after death. Ever heard of a caveman ghost?
Okay, thank you TaQo!
I have looked and have not found any yet.
Any references from long ago?
Was that in antiquity or in recent years only?
That's funny you went through the trouble to save that screenshot to try to humiliate me but you read it wrong the whole time. I didn't ask what is your associates' base pay. That could be determined with the information you gave. You said it's not salaried and I simply said 'that' (the national average) is 'their' (the average worker's) base pay. Then you melted down like a three year old. Take a breather and try to relax a bit. It's going to be okay.
Well that settles it!
I have been through this with every one of you guys and it is so boring.
Google query: Were the gospels written by eyewitnesses?
"Most scholars agree that they are the work of unknown Christians and were composed c.65-110 AD. The majority of New Testament scholars also agree that the Gospels do not contain eyewitness accounts; but that they present the theologies of their communities rather than the testimony of eyewitnesses."
"So these gospels, even if traditional authorship is granted, would not be eye witness testimony of Jesus."
"Even if the author of Luke was not himself an eyewitness, it does appear that he believed he was recording true history as delivered to him from eyewitnesses."
"The consensus among serious Biblical scholars is that none of the Gospels were written by eyewitnesses to the events in them."
"Despite patristic traditions to the contrary, it seems unlikely that any of the gospel writers were eyewitnesses themselves."
"For this reason, Ehrman concludes that the four Gospels could not have been written by eyewitnesses, but were written by others much later, who had not seen ..."
"There is nothing to indicate the authors of the Gospels thought they were eyewitnesses or using eyewitness testimony."
"The simple truth is that there is no verifiable basis for the historical claim that the gospels preserve reliable, eyewitness testimony about the events of ..."
It goes on and on.
Because people use it as a swear word it means jesus is real.
How moronic can you get? I posted the yearly average pay of the job in question. You forgot to mention your guys get 2.5 times that with the kind of overtime you are talking about. Obviously the average is based on 40 hours.
I mean my parents created me but jesus fucking christ your replies are living up to the obtuse brand.
It's not everyone though. It's mostly you guys. Your example about my "religion of experience" is a good example, yes. That's actually ridiculous. How is my philosophy a religion?
How could you know what anyone said about jesus? There are no accounts from his lifetime. No one recorded one single thing about all those supernatural miracles by the god-man. It was the most amazing series of events ever and no one thought to even mention it for posterity.
I didn't ask you that. You seem to be having a little spazz-out there. Don't reply to me again.
I have never read so much side-stepping of issues in my life. It's absurd the lengths you go to to avoid having to answer the actual questions. If you can't accept calling your beliefs religious (how pedantic) and can't see I am making an obvious comparison to all the other religions then read it as:
What makes you think your god is different than any other? All the adherents of other gods will tell you the same thing about their god healing them etc.
How asinine to not be able to understand that.
