Frank, do you belive it possible that you could know, or are you certain that you cannot know?


Neither.

Sorry you are not bright enough to get it, Neo.


I do not "believe" anything. I am not into "believing" at all.

I have never said that I "cannot" know...and have gone far out of my way to explain that. It is amazing to me that there are people so stupid that they cannot understand that after repeated explanations....but, there is no intelligence requirement to meet in order to post in A2K.

I am certain that I do not know the answers to many questions.

Too bad you can't see that in yourself. Spell check used for clarity.
Well, yes; I am, as you say, a moron.

Are you saying you are certain you do not know the answers to many questions but do not believe you do not know the answers to many questions? This certainty without belief is most curious, Frank. Do you believe you could explain it? Embarrassed 'Scuse me; are you certain you could explain it? Embarrassed Oh, there I go again. Would you just give it a try?

Or, maybe you just believe I am a moron.


You are a bore!

What a bunch of crap. You can post as many OPINIONS as you want by nutcases who hate religion, that doesn't prove a thing. Like I said, some of you(especially you CI) wouldn't acknowledge God if he slapped you upside the head.


Since this seems so apparent to you, John...you might consider that folks like you would not question the existence of a God....or that the thing in the Bible might not be anything like any GOD that might actually exist.

Why....in the face of so much evidence that casts doubt on the divine nature of the Bible versus it being human devised...would you not call that pathetic book into question?

I get the feeling that folks like you get some sort of sick satisfaction from mocking and insulting any GOD that might exist....by pretending the GOD would be anything like the cartoon described in the Bible.

It is my honest OPINION....that describing any GOD that might exist that way....is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more insulting to any GOD that might exist than anything I've ever hear come from the mouth or pen of atheist or agnostic.

Man can be described as a conglomeration of thoughts and ideas. Every little thought becomes an integral part of one's life. The kind of feelings one has determines one's future. Therefore, one must install sacred ideas in one's heart. The fostering of pure thoughts will promote the spirit of selfless service in our hearts. Selfless service uproots the bestiality in man and confers divinity on him.

Traditionally, the group with the biggest "ax to grind" regarding Christ has been the Jews.

They have more reason to deny Christ existed than any other group, if it were true.

But relatively few Jewish scholars for the last 20 centuries including our present one have been willing to assert Jesus never existed.

Why do you think this is?



Why because it would just give the Christians one more excuse to kill Jews. Not that they have ever needed one.

I periodically revisit this thread. A thread that seems to have achieved a life of it's own. As usual people continue to confuse God, or the existence of God, with religion. What I again ask what does God or a supreme being have to do with Christianity or any of the myriad of other religions.
Religion any religion is a concept that comes directly out of the furtive minds of men and was devised control the masses. " Religion is the opiate of the masses."

For those of you with a religious bent. What religion do you think is the true religion and why? { Denomination where applicable}

Interesting question. And, combined with my earlier post in this thread which was ignored amongst the rantings, perhaps a discussion more nearly on topic may come about.

Frank, let's agree to use a better term than "any god that might exist". How about "xGod".

I like "comic-god' better. Only comics allow for miracles that never happened.

First a few criteria:

The true religion would:

Have no rituals or images as the true God could not possibly be enhanced by them.

Have no formal collections or fund raising as the true God would certainly inspire his followers to provide necessary funds when needed.

Have no political connections as the true God would be the God of all people without borders or tribal distinctions.

Have no members who practice crimes such as thievery, assault, rape or murder.

Have no need for armies as the true God would be able to protect his people.

Have an easily understandable message for humankind and some method or organization to deliver it.

You know, I'll admit that I don't know if xGod exists.....but I'm pretty damn sure that xGod is nothing like the Christian god. Why would anyone want to follow up that fawked up religion with it's fawked up god?

Christianity = Worst Thing to Happen to Mankind

This xGod doesn't sound half bad.....but someone would try to make a religion around it and create some book to follow in one big money making scheme like they did with Christianity.

I heard that millions were made off of W.W.J.D bracelets.......and I'm sure that it was all used to help the needy.

Well, what you said was "Have no formal collections or fund raising as the true God would certainly inspire his followers to provide necessary funds when needed." This caveat would corrupt your religion.

Let's see. Your question, if it can be called that, was

Quote:


It sounds more like an accusation than a question.

When you say "one more excuse" to "kill" (present tense) Jews---- are you then baselessy asserting, as you have at other times, that groups of professing Christians are actively engaged at this time in killing Jews because of their religion?

Do you have any specific evidence of this, or are you vomiting hearsay?

If you do have knowledge of a crime such as this, it is your duty to report it. Have you done so?

No.

As I have said previously, you smear and slander and rumormonger without any factual basis.

---------------------------------

The answer to your "Why" should be apparent to anyone.

If the Jews had any basis whatever for asserting the Jesus never existed, that should have been unanimously shouted long and loud by all Jewish scholars for the past 20 centuries.

It has not been, because it is an absurd contention.

Even if Jesus did exist, what evidence is there about his miracles?

Why does the mere existence of a man named Jesus around 2000 years ago give credence to your claim that he is the one true god himself?

It's interesting that the Jesus who performed all those miracles and was regularly preaching to the masses only has the bible as the sole proof he existed at all. The only explanation left: it's a comic book written by men.

No..I think you are a bore.

You are sniper...who rarely has anything to offer of your own. You snipe at what others say.

And you are booorrring.

My semantic distinctions make sense. If you are not smart enough to see that...too bad for you.
