    Do All Religions Teach Their Way Is The Only Right Way?

    That's the way I see it. Religion, to me, is personally loosely defined as something of supreme importance to the individual. Religiously is repetition. So, in that you often get worldview, ideology, groupthink, tradition, culture, even politics, fashion and entertainment. Organized religion is...

    Do All Religions Teach Their Way Is The Only Right Way?

    It isn't a question of right or wrong. Firstly, because they never remain true to their own teachings. They're all syncretistic. But also, because what is right for one person isn't right for another. It isn't a question of whether Buddhism, or Taoism, or Christianity is "right" or "wrong." It's...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    I don't try to convince skeptics of something they don't believe, I offer them a possible alternative to the pagan influenced tradition so that they can make a possibly more informed, or at least alternate decision to accept or reject. Each outcome to me is equally desired so long as they have...

    Covers

    Miley Sirus covers Blondie Heart of glass. I'm a big fan of Blondie, not so much of Miley. I didn't think she could pull it off. Make it her own without compromising herself or the song. She did. She surprised me. Buddy Guy With Members of Aerosmith: Evil Twin Dolly Parton and Steven...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Followed by many more responses. At this point I feel it is an unnecessary distraction to the forum and a waste of both of our time. Let's take a break and maybe, if I decide to continue posting on forums, as I've recently thought to retire from it, we can continue with a reasonable and mutually...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    If it's possible for us to do it with science (current knowledge) it is plausible that more advanced extraterrestrials could do it. I.e. then possible future science of our own. How could have Peter walked on water? Through Jehovah God's dynamic energy, holy (sacred, belonging to) spirit...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Your response is arrogant, deceptive and hypocritical. You've never ignored my writing; you were all over it like ugly on an ape. 90% of my notifications are due to this fact. Ironically one of your first posts accused me of ignoring you and complained that people do that here as if that were...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    [Sigh] Really? You can't piece it together? What did I say he was? A highly intelligent extraterrestrial being. How did you interpret that? Alien. What is highly intelligent? The possession of knowledge and skills to a high degree or level. What is extraterrestrial? Of or from outside the...

    Why Don’t You Believe Jesus Rose From The Grave?

    Would it be absurd and implausible to suggest that DNA could be used to resurrect an animal long dead? Or that a highly intelligent extraterrestrial being could take that one step further and actually resurrect the specific person? I think skeptics object to the myth, its history, what it...

    Then by your own logic how can he not be? That's what I'm TELLING you.

    Door knockers

    JWs are not like other people. I have had a good relationship with them in the past, but they are not necessarily at all open to dialogue. For example, I've heard them talking about handing out their pamphlets and refusing to take the same from others. Also, if you happen to be disfellowshipped...

    Door knockers

    I can understand your position. I'm pretty much antisocial, and I don't like people knocking on my door for any reason other than possibly an emergency. If they're selling something, politics, religion, vacuum cleaners or anything, I'm reluctant to answer because I'm not in the market. On the...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Boy, this thread has done little to improve my opinion of the Hebrew scholar, would be an understatement. Proverbs 18:2 ESV A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

    No. I don't believe you and I don't think it true. And I don't think the remark is genuine. Nonsense. Not really. No.

    Then we're done. Continue with your verbose self-gratification without me as your audience. A pity your ego would prevent you from actually teaching me anything, but that the way it goes sometimes.

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    I think that what I have to keep in mind is more along the lines of your own exaggerated importance and overconfidence.

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    I've come across a lot of posters on forums like this who fancy themselves as celebrities. I think it's foolish.

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    I'm not a guitarist, so it isn't an academic or musically technical issue for me. It's the sounds I prefer, not the talent. I think Edward was a more gifted rhythm player than the lead. Not that he was deficient in that capacity, but I prefer Steve Vai. But it's more than I can do to listen to a...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    No, we're not. I think you are right about the point you made earlier, "earthling man" should have been in brackets. In the verse I gave in the OP it wasn't included at all, as it should be not included. My mistake was that I didn't make it clear enough, apparently, that the OP wasn't a serious...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Have you and I, in our admittedly and relatively brief and few interactions, not gotten to the place where we still don't fully understand where one another is coming from and are projecting personal ideologies upon one another based upon previous and extensive interactions with others? I see...
