    Senator Robert F Kennedy Jr exposes democrats for what they really are.

    How exactly did your life improve during Trump's term of office?

    Senator Robert F Kennedy Jr exposes democrats for what they really are.

    Oh, they're not just names. They're substantial claims backed by many volumes of examinable evidence. Trump has been found guilty of rape by a jury. Trump has been found guilty of very large corporate fraud after a fully-defended trial. Trump has mishandled and left in places accessible to...

    Senator Robert F Kennedy Jr exposes democrats for what they really are.

    Poor old RFKjr is a rather sad case of a dingbat with a famous surname. But let him not distract us from the real problem, the threat that the executive government of the US might pass once more into the hands of Donald Trump, rapist, convicted commercial fraudster, narcissist, instinctive...

    Democrats packing swing states with illegals and Elon Musk warns if they win , this could be our last election.

    I'm trying to think of a respectful way of saying, Don't be silly.

    A Christian believes --------------------------------?

    Depends which version you read, Thomas only does that in John 20:24-29. The nature of Jesus' resurrected body is not coherently described anywhere. It's visible, it can pass into and out of closed rooms, it can eat, that it can be touched is asserted but not demonstrated in John, and it can fly...

    Human vs AI Intelligence

    It seems to be. The word is extremely common in this context and seems to be a good representation of what is intended, that is, the (human-postulated) goal that all the present experiments, prototypes, explorations are heading. Our explorations of how the human brain works are far from...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    So an igthyologist is someone who believes 'real fish' is an incoherent concept?

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    I hasten to add that when a person wants to know what an Igtheist believes, ask an Igtheist. (You know where to find me.)

    Mother mary without sin?

    The obvious intention of the virgin birth was for the author of Matthew and the author of Luke to give their versions of Jesus a more impressive credential than the Jesus of the thoroughly human origins set out by the author of Mark, and the "justification" for this is the use of the word...

    Evolution My ToE

    Would you go to a church teaching that Jesus was the ordinary son of a Jewish mother who had his sins washed away by John the Baptist, at which point and not earlier God adopted him as [his] son (Mark 1:10-11) as God had earlier adopted David as [his] son (Psalm 2:7, Acts 13:33)? If not, why not?

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    At the time they ate the fruit they did not know good, because of God's action in denying them knowledge of good and evil. The very first Afterwards is a different thing, but at the time, at the instant of eating, they were still entirely innocent. Only after that moment do their reactions...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    First, that's a clear statement that Adam and Even had no knowledge of good and evil, hence had no way of knowing that anything eg disobedience was wrong. They were in that state because God had denied them that knowledge. It means that at the time each of them ate the fruit, they were...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    That's nonsense. In the real world, microorganisms and critters have been dying for billions of years, and humans are just one more example. The idea that the wages of sin is death is only found in Paul, and he appears to have based it on the notion of a Fall of Man in the story of the Garden...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    So are historians. That's simply not correct. Some examples are ─ Genesis 22:9 – God orders a human sacrifice and Abraham takes him seriously (though it’s called off). Exodus 22:29-30 requires human sacrifice of first-born. Exodus 34:20 allows you to redeem them. Deuteronomy 7:1-2 Massacres...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    I confess to being surprised that you find it funny (as in my #142 above) the bible God approves and employs ─ human sacrifice, Jesus being only a late example ─ invasive wars and the seizing of the lands of others ─ the massacre of surrendered populations, keeping only the virgins aside for...

    Harris with her so called 'black relatives' along with her background of slavers brought into serious question.

    Apologies if I misunderstood.

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    Of course not. There was no official Trinity till the 4th century, long after the NT was written, and that was confined to Christians. (And the Trinity doctrine is incoherent, a datum masked by the title "a mystery in the strict sense" >Why So Much Trinity Bashing?<). By my standards the God of...

    On Evolution & Creation

    As I said earlier, you can do a lot with more than three billion years to play with. Although life forms only really began to get complicated late in the pre-Cambrian, apparently helped by a couple of billion years which microorganisms spent oxygenating our atmosphere. What credible...

    How can you amicably debate? Easy. Just agree with me.
