Is Fundamentalism a Religious Movement or a Psychological Disorder?

Like I said, you were not paying attention. Or perhaps your own education is lacking.

Tell me, do you believe the myths of Genesis? Like it or not they have been refuted.

In your own mind.

Nope, now you are just spreading falsehoods. Your own inability to understand a fact does not mean that it is a fact.

You seem to know that I am right since you will not tell me which myths of Genesis that you believe. Unlike you I am not afraid.

A lot of Jews have been told and are now Messianic Jews who believe in Jesus.

Okay, they are Christians of Hebrew descent. That happens.

I can say at least all these years later i have come to have a new appreciation for the Bible, especially the OT, because those are the ancient and tradional stories of am entire people. Not viewed as messengers of god but of the images and beliefs people had about themselves and their surroundings. And it's a wildly amusing and entertaining story, songs and poems written in utter reverence for this deity, and narratives that have been founding lore and legend for thousands of years and generations.

That is a good way to look at it. And I see the NT as a testament to love. Not perfect, but Jesus has many positive things to say that I try to apply to my own life.

Okay--the Bible describes the mean-spirited trolling that atheists do on this forum. You are pathologically incapable of being even the slightest bit respectful or me or my belief system on this forum. If you were to grow nice, you would disprove the Bible's prescience.

You know how I debate ─ you and I have debated many times in the past. What's different about this time? What's actually the problem?

I don't know where you get that nonsense from.

Why not state what you're actually objecting to and the basis of your objection? That's a tried and true mode of discussing things, and it seems reasonable to suppose it'd be very easy, indeed second nature, for someone with two degrees in theology.
