@mako cv,
Quote:Yeah, and so is every religion, including yours
Well, considering my religion is only about 200 years old and does not actively recruit members, does not have a dogma, scriptures, meetings, meeting places or any of the trappings that go with the revealed organized religions, I seriously doubt that we can be accused of lying for god.
Quote:You providing quotes does not constitute them as fact. You have provided nothing as to there truth? Or as some would put it, hearsay?
Well, considering these quotes come from the acknowledged works and letters of these persons, it would be as close to the truth as they saw it as one could get without a time machine to go back and interview them in person. If you want to verify these, you can go to the library and look them up just as I did in the past, although most are available (in translated versions) on the Yale, Harvard, Princeton library websites and a goodly number of them are available on the Early Christian Writings website – after all, for the most part I gave you the author, the work, the volume and thus did the majority of the work for you.
Quote:Also being that there are 2.1 billion followers, i don't think eight or nine examples represent even a minute percentage of what you think is fact?
How likely is a chicken to hatch from a chicken egg? How likely is an adherent of a religion, whose founders, movers and shakers and primary teachers advocated lying for the benefit of the religion, to lie for his god? In each case it probably would be 100%.
Now that you have shown everyone how witty, how conservative and how Christian you are, maybe we can get back on subject. :patriot:
