Full naked david beckham

Totally agree. Well said.

Sounds like an opinion based on belief and faith rather than evidence

You are a recycling of atoms, or had you been full size at birth?

Because an unaccountable strike force executing a campaign of ethnic cleansing is incompatible with democracy.

Total fake headline. As it relates to any recent supreme court decision, nothing about the headline is true.

Conversation ended. Your dishonesty is not appreciated.

Truth? there are so many religions claiming that they have the truth., so which truth?

Ahh there it is the crux of this argument. The evidence is all there for both of us to see. You have made the decision that the evidence is not enough to convince you and I respect that. I on the other hand have been convinced by the evidence and personal experience.

It's not about theism! Learn to read. Learn what a straw man is, too!

If someone did turned water into wine, and is verified by controls and what not... and the person were to claim that "goddidit" it of no use for there is not a linking from the gods to the event itself just an unverifiable clai for yearsm to an unknown cause for an event....just saying that "goddidit" does not demonstrate causation ..."What else could've been?" is a big argument from ignorance. And as such is not evidence for the existence of the gods - any - Three or four arguments from ignorance are just as useless...It doesn't matter how many things theists claim were done by their gods if it cannot be demonstrated that the gods were the cause it just become an unjustifiable claim, and worse an argument from ignorance.

Funny, the Old Testament is written in Hebrew. Do you know anything about language?

When you say "Gnosticism is increasingly recognized as a caricature created by the heresiologists" - Exactly *who* has recognized that? Which scholars and what have they published on the issue? We have writings that fit the mold of Gnosticism - groups that valued secret knowledge and understood the notion of the Pleroma. Saying 13 in Thomas is a great example, as well as the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Truth. They share common ideas.

We can both get going at times. I've been more mellow than usual this season.

Another nutter advertises his ignorance.....??

No, your sex is. Gender is a social construct and historically there have often been more than two. But this has little to nothing to do with sexuality

And then the next thing you know, all those left-handers will (*gasp!*) want to

While I'm not a believer, I wouldn't subscribe to the Jesus is back with each new believer theory. Bible seems pretty clear it's a particular being. And given I don't believe, I can only go so far down the rabbit hole. Jews don't think he's ever showed up in the first place. There have been many messiah claimants over the centuries. The Branch Davidians thought he was in Waco in the form of David Koresh.

The first of many

These off topic posts pointing to other threads are getting deleted, Johan.

First, you don't know "most blacks" so you're in no position to state what most blacks' mentality is or is not. But if you have some stats I'd love to see them that prove most have a "left wing racist mentality".

Great game so far, the Cavs have withstood the Warriors haymakers

Do you fancy me?

Since you're clearly a layperson, you might want to examine the litany of distinguished academic-level books mentioned on the following "Quora" link, covering both Old/New Testament, plus the very Jewish historical Yeshua of Nazareth: i.e., "Who Are the Best Biblical Historians for Laypeople?" (You'll find the first contribution from Dick Harfield, Jan. 11, 2018, then simply scroll-down to see the multitude of references, from both scholarly believer & unbeliever alike.)

They jumped....I swear!

A great deal is interpretation or extrapolation from repeatable experiments to draw conclusions that are impossible to repeat...the repeatable portion of the Theory of Evolution in minuscule, for example.

Thank you so very much for that. Glad I am not the only one to see it.
