    The trinity is false - I have proof

    Well, [he] dang sure misspoke when [he] told Adam that if Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he'd die the same day. You'll recall that in this story it's the snake that speaks the truth.

    Jesus will return in 2030

    Of course. The world would change overnight because God's magic had been applied to it, and the lame would walk, the dumb would speak, the stupid would smarten up, the arrogant would attain modesty, the ignorant would acquire and slake a thirst for information, the violent would put aside...

    Jesus will return in 2030

    Just so. As I said, in some places 'the Son of Man' appears to be Jesus, and in others 'the Son of Man' appears to be someone else. I understand that in Jewish politics of that period, the Apocalypse was expected, and the Son of Man was going to be Enoch, who as you'll recall didn't die, but...

    Jesus will return in 2030

    Nah. He said in all three synoptics that he'd be back ─ or at least that the Son of Man would be back, sometimes clearly meaning him, and sometimes clearly meaning someone else ─ and would set up God's Kingdom on earth within the lifetime of some of his listeners. See Mark 9:1, Mark 13:28...

    If science is so great why hasn't it solved all of humanitys problems ?

    Bring back the dead? It's early days yet, but steady progress is being made ... (Though I suspect you'll always have to get 'em while they're fresh.)

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    My apologies ─ I neglected to proofread again after I'd hit 'Post'. (Now sorted.) 2 Corinthians 5:19 says (NRSVue) ─ 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,[x] not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. 20 So we are...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    I'm not aware of anything in the NT that supports the view that God was present in Jesus, except in the technical sense that the ruler is "present" when his or her envoy is present. There are five versions of Jesus in the NT (Paul's and the four gospels'). Each of the five denies he's God and...

    Is suicide ever justified ?

    Do you argue that if you have an incurable and debilitating illness, you just have to be brave and lie there? If you find you're dementing as you age and you're going to require care and accommodation provided, for no particular reason since you'll be off the air, you shouldn't have the option...

    If science is so great why hasn't it solved all of humanitys problems ?

    So you're chucking out your TV set, refusing all modern pharmaceuticals and instead seeing your local wisewoman, avoiding traveling in powered vehicles, think the sun and stars go round the earth, and the night is full of ghosts and Evil Things? Well, I trust you live in a free country and are...

    Arrogance of religion

    What's this terror of yours that everyone is trying to "tell you how to live your life"? The posts here are simply listening to you and disagreeing with you, and putting alternative views to you, as is the way of debate boards. These are all matters for you. Good luck ─ sounds like you'll...

    Arrogance of religion

    Ah, you're telling me you're someone who's unable to listen. Unsurprising.

    What's your most convincing example with humans?

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    I looked at the HJ question to some depth earlier this century, and concluded that no definitive answer is possible. Some time after that I was impressed by Ehrman's argument that none of the opponents of the very early church ever used the argument that Jesus hadn't existed. And I also found...

    Arrogance of religion

    I'm informing you of something it appears you failed to notice. towit, as I said, this is a debate forum. If you don't find that information helpful, perhaps you're in the wrong place.

    Arrogance of religion

    This is a debate forum, and so labeled. Here, your resort to accusations like "hypocrisy and projection" are entirely misconceived. Set out a reasoned case, and your evidence if any, and see how it all fares in debate.

    30,000 feet of water?????

    The bible is only one of the world's religious books. They were all written by humans, and express views and values of their time and place. Like all ancient documents they deserve respect and understanding, but that's all. I agree. If people treat each other with decency, respect, inclusion...

    Italian Artist Sells Invisible Sculpture for More Than $18,000

    Are you saying that to disagree with you is to point out the fat kid in the schoolyard and snicker? Then again I disagree with you. If you post a view on a debate board, then little is more natural than that you'll find yourself in a debate. Ain't rocket science.

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    What research papers are you relying on when you assert this? I can't recall ever having come across claims of that kind. You're pulling my leg, I trust ─ there's not the slightest evidence to support what you appear to be saying. And what does your third sentence in the quote above even mean...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    How do you think we get to understand our environment and indeed anything factual if not through our evolved senses and evolved processes and reactions to sensory input? But that model is honed by evolution towards surviving long enough to breed successfully. Indeed the thing about humans is...
