Religion I


The Philosopher's Corner, (and its varied forums) is for those wishing to debate ideas in an
environment relatively free of personal attacks. This does NOT mean that ideas are not to be
challenged and/or heavily debated. Bringing arguments from another forum to this forum or any
other PC forum totally distorts the original message made, gives a biased slant and is
inappropriate. Standing firm and making one's case on its own merits is the intelligent choice.
Attacking and/or challenging an opinion is fair game.. Attacking someone personally is not.

"Hope you enjoy the company of ACNR, Stephen and the other bashers."

"Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to
cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

Isn't it about time for you to leave us a link to a Muslim bashing site?

Certainly my behaviors follow predictable paths. No quest for truth is random. And unlike
religionists, I make no pretense about finding an Absolute Final Truth, and thus I cannot stop
seeking.

Because your behavior falls inside of predictable parameters, maybe? And yours doesn't?

How do you know what you claim is "truth" is truth?

Yes, when the truth hurts, say goodbye to the soothsayer. That's the usual way. What an
asinine statement. How do you know what you claim is "truth" is truth? We just happen to
disagree and IMO there's nothing more to talk about...you believe what you want and I'll stick
to mine...that's all I was saying.

Yes, when the truth hurts, say goodbye to the soothsayer. That's the usual way. Some genius
said:

The problem with any of the "book religions" is that once the reader of the book
convinces himself that he's found the truth, he stops looking and actively rejects greater
truths if they contradict what he thinks the book says.

Whoever he may have been.

Well, if that's what you think I can only say I've enjoyed reading your posts in the past and
respect your engineering/scientific knowledge but it's time to bid you a fond adieu. Hope you
enjoy the company of ACNR, Stephen and the other bashers.

As for the show, the few times I've seen it I've noticed they tend to avoid the explanation to
promote unsound ideas.

Because he says he is, just like you do. You included all of us when you added that
statement.

Yes. Of course. Because you to can only claim to be Christian, and can offer no proof of
greater weight than ACNR.

You know I'm not a scientist and a lot of that scientific stuff goes over my head and I'm the
first one to admit it. My question to you was did you ever watch that show and if you had seen
it. I think you would have found it very interesting and I expect a lot of the questions you are
asking me were probably answered. Actually, I was hoping you had seen it because I know
you could have explained it better than my bumbling attempts...after all, what do you expect
from an ossifed brain?

Only the God that doesn't exist knows if ACNR is as Christian, less Christian, or more
Christian than anyone else. The only data we have is that he claims to be. That's all I'm saying.

In my own personal opinion, ACNR belongs in the mental ward of a third world hospital.

Yeah, right! Tell it to your dear friend ACNR. He's as Christian as anyone else.

How do I know this, you ask? Because he says he is, just like you do.

Do you really think Dori, Robin, Kim, and I are like ACNR? He's attacked us a lot more than
he has you. Have you seen the posts at his forum directed at Dori lately? To have you
compare us to him after knowing us all these years really saddens me. I thought you knew us
better than that.

The earth is approximately 4500 million years old. The oceans floors are nowhere older than
about 200 million years or so. Ergo, any geysers noted on the ocean floor today did not exist
back when the oceans were flooded.

A couple of weeks ago there was a scientist on there who had spent years researching this
and he had reached the conclusion that there were/are numerous geysers in the ocean
floor and they had all erupted at the same time flooding the earth.

How many hundreds of millions of years before man made his appearance was that?

Well, duh, Stephen. I think it's fair to say that if dog lovers just simply stick to loving dogs,
they wouldn't have gone off to persecute people and convert them at knife point or whatever.
The problems arise when the "club" becomes the focus. Don't put me in no "family" with
people like that. Anybody can call themselves a Christian or be called one. Even Ctaj calls
himself one in the sense that Thomas Jefferson did. Are you also putting him in with the abusive
crowd? He even quoted Scripture today. You even do sometimes. It doesn't make someone a
"thumper" just because they do that. I would just ask that you be more discriminate. If you
can't or won't, fine. I can deal with it either way.

"Look at all those that think a global flood happened, for example." Do you ever watch
"Encounters with the Unexplained? A couple of weeks ago there was a scientist on there who
had spent years researching this and he had reached the conclusion that there were/are
numerous geysers in the ocean floor and they had all erupted at the same time flooding the
earth. Went into great detail about how these eruptions caused many of the mountainous chains
we now see and also many of the details of the ocean floor itself, including undersea rivers and
channels. Very interesting!

I read your analogy...not one mention of what the views of Dog Haters were I see. You can
separate yourself from Christians you don't approve of all you like, but yer still a member of
the family as long as you thump the book and expect me to praise Jesus, or love a smelly dog,
just because you do.

That dog tries to crap in my yard...an I am gonna shoot him. (with a bb gun of course) :-)

The way I see it is that God created every good thing to eat...it's all right here on the Earth
that he gave us.

Then He must've made everything bad to eat, as well. You know what they say. If God had
intended man to eat fish, He wouldn't have made cows so easy to catch.
