Achilles: Will respond more fully later, when (if, DV) I have the time, but I thought I'd point out that you are making very definite statements about subjects which are still very much in the debate-flux. For example, the gospels have not been certa...  [Read More]

It depends on which Mark you talk about, and indeed Luke was not one of the 12 (and I didn't specify he was). Indeed. My apologies. I saw three names on the second line and just assumed the fourth was on the third. It's late here too :) Regardless:...  [Read More]

I think using Bush's belief in the doctrine of pre-millennialism to say that Bush actively wants to be the one who brings about the end of the world is completely idiotic. Assertions supported by.... If Bush is knowledgeable enough about the Bible t...  [Read More]

Yes it would be fair that theists can be just as nasty as Atheists have been, and it's wrong to be that way no matter what side of the arguement you're on. I've seen the Atheist arguement brought up again and again and every time it's been the Atheis...  [Read More]

Would it be fair to say then that Atheists treat those who believe in religion with quite a bit of contempt and resentment? Given the arrogant, bullying, condescending, double standerd, egomaniacal and downright nasty attitude some have towards them?...  [Read More]

The thread has us examining the faults in religion and Atheism, so looking at ourselves and seeing that we are free of fault, 'he who is without sin cast the first stone', I would have thought would be quite relevent. It's not relevant at all. The pa...  [Read More]

Though if there's nothing else Anti-theists wish to take away from religion they should take this: He who is without sin cast the first stone. By that people can be critical of others, but they should look at themselves and see how well they hold up...  [Read More]

So, you're saying that nothing's wrong with them, it's the rest of the world that's sick? Why does one of these groups have to be "sick" in your scenario? This is a false dichotomy. If that is the case, I am inclined to disagree. When you...  [Read More]
