Shila

I've mentioned in a string begun by Sir.Lancelot, I think. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The evidence is just too much for me here. Jesus is basically everything what you would expect of an all good God to be, and I have to say these past few days where really overwhelming for me. I mean, I am not Christian, but I cant deny that there is something in Christianity. I can understand why people believe in it. They probably had small miracles happen in their own life which they cant explain in any other way but divine. I had things happen in my life with different types of magic, but I cant explain why Christians have any miracles if their God isnt real.

Where I am from is irrelevant.

focusing on the practical consequences of belief

Thats the unproved premise which I am talking about. Even if we assume that the only Gods possible are the ones listed in Pascal's wager, the idea that good atheists go to Hell is not just unproved, but basically insane.

Nah.

We're still in the same place, about 20 miles from France.

We have a tunnel don't you know and the French haven't closed the doors yet.

And like I said, apart for passport controls, everything is just about the same as before.

They still come here to see Buckingham Palace and we still go there to see the Eifel tower.

Politicians bluster and ordinary folk just do ordinary folk stuff.

Basically Israelites and Palestinians were the same thing.

Though these days, Jews and Palestinians are not necessarily the same thing as they were previously.

And we should all realise by now that a one State solution ain't never going to work, because it ain't what either side want.

For sure there are some good folk who would rather live a peaceful life...Problem is though  these sort of people don't call the shots...The shooting is generally inspired by theo-political nut jobs and carried out by gullible sycophants.

And of course, arms sales and the Eurovision Song Contest are big business...Middle eastern Transsexuals deserve a platform, don't they.

Clever stupid gene.

I want to keep my gun rights and I don't care if 2000 children die from mass shootings a year.

This is not satire, but if it makes you feel uncomfterable, then you should support banning all guns.  But I'm not empathetic because I'm autistic, so I won't want to ban all guns.

Believers simply believe in some God. I merely proved that some God is likely to exist, thus some believers are likely to be right.

Again, Pascal's wager is a different argument entirely here. Pascal's wager is based on idea that according to all Gods which are known and popular so far, atheists in much more options end up in worse place in the afterlife than Christians.

But Pascal's wager is ultimately flawed because even if we take one premise as true, it is not certain that atheists go to hell in Islam or Christianity. Bad people go to hell, and believers can be bad people while atheists dont need to be bad. In that sense, Pascal's wager is basically just folk logic and a very weak argument here. I generally stay away from that argument because it takes much more effort to defend it, and proving the premises is almost impossible.

Ratman was around previously.

Similarly entitled.

The thing with blocking, is the blockers ability to ignore, rather than an inability of the blocked to post a comment.

If you're Israeli and don't support a one-state solution, what's your plan to winning against Hamas? It's pretty clear Israel doesn't want to do nothing, but if they conquer Palestine, we're back to the one state idea. If you don't like that Hamas breaks ceasefires, then you should want a unified government that can enforce terms.

If you're Palestinian, support democracy, and believe that "from the river to the sea, Palestine should be free," then isn't one state what you want? Wouldn't it be easier to achieve this through negotiations rather than warfare? Is it worth bombing Israel for decades just to call the country a different word?

Why are you so close to me on Most active members?

I also only Friend people that in my opinion have an IQ greater than 130.

So to get it on record and do like the scripture say, yea or nay, is the son Jesus of Mary, flesh and blood in heaven now?

No. Luther was 1500s prot.

EO vs Caths began much before that as Byzantines vs Roman Caths.

Yeah, so it's Paul's word, against all the previous disciples. Paul's word about the divinity of Christ, Paul's word and interpretation about the abandonment of the covenant between God and the Israelites. Paul who turned what was a sect of Judaism into something devoid of Jewishness, except the disciples who continued their practice of Judaism until their dying day. 

The evidence of all this comes from one man who never met Christ in the flesh, yet knew him well enough to contradict earlier teachings, and the original disciples. 

Doesn't hold much weight.

I watched the video made it seem like Trump was laughing like a mustache twirling villain at the popes death and then declaring himself pope after mocking the popes death. 

Sometimes cabbage seems like cabbage.

I think you mean retailieating

Yes, my key to longevity is the same as Ernest Borgnine's.

Trump has the lowest IQ of any US President. A document discovered in May 2019 reveals that Donald Trump's IQ was measured at 73 during his high school years.

Almost forgot

Can a 5 sided triangle exist? Yes or No?

I'd like a straightforward answer to this.

Well, she is easy to look at.

I'm asking you.

OMG, were you a stewardess on the " Lolita Express"?

Well, I'm an Earth colonist and share this tiny speck of cosmic dust with 8 billion or so other people and countless other trillions of lifeforms.

No room for isolationism.

In fact, it is reckoned that I share my body with about 39 trillion bacteria...( Not sure who counted them).

Nobody pays cause nobody is buying that crap.

It seems that you won't guess, so I will just tell you that Peng Dehuai was his name.

Time for an African Pope.

Where in this thread did I blaspheme the Holy Spirit?

After Vatican II (1960s) it is allowed to bury urn with our ashes in.

That's when you build your conclusion into the premise.

So when you build in your premise as assumption that logic applies to God, what exactly are you proving here?

Again, the problem in your logic is:

1. Many people agree that by definition, God is above laws of logic.

2. If God is by definition above logic, your premise 1 is false by definition.

That is the problem in your case

Man invented.

The son of Mary was flesh and blood. Is he flesh and blood in heaven right now?

I suspect, Saul felt the sect would die if more weren't allowed to join. Therefor he got rid of circumcision, sabbath, kosher, and many other things required of jews, to make the faith appear more welcoming to Gentiles, and it worked. Gentiles joined fast, and the faith spread steadily. 

The only possible challenge to this argument would be that chance of each independent God existing must be 0. I repeat: must be 0. This essentially means that the only way to disprove this argument is to disprove all Gods into 0% probability.

That would mean an American brain.

  Yes!

Although he received little in the way of education from his peasant background, he was a genius, bringing victory after victory to China. During the Great Leap Forward, he criticized Mao for being blinded by his ideology, at the expense of, during the Cultural Revolution, his life. Fake communists rule from the top, real communists rule from the bottom.

Hey, I am not gay!

The same people insisting Musk is a Nazi are the same ones insisting "Maryland Man" isn't a gangbanger.

Make it make sense.

That split is gaslighting, sayuing caths split from Ortho is misleading. EO were a mutation ofnthe Nicenes and stem from a shift from OG Nicaeans to Byzantines. Caths moved west but kept tje same principles of papacy and the structure while EO made it fit cukture rather than God.

His 2nd coming is the end of the world.

Wrong. Other than formerly Pagan Greece who is nearly all Christians now, Christians are the founders of modern science in general especially medicine.

There’s definitely arguments of which came first. Orthodox say they came first, and vice-versa.

Elon Musk wants to be seen as a flexible person.

Needs to take up yoga then.

Ok, Ok

I am blocking you as you are a consistent troll.

OMG, were you a stewardess on the " Lolita Express"?

Because he has the brain of a Trumper.

No matter where you live, today is liberation day, for today is the first of May, known as international workers day.

And so, with righteousness in our hearts, let us all change our profile pictures into the faces of our great communist leaders, both past and present!

So hypothetically speaking, If Donald Trump said he would have a woman raped if you continued to criticize him, you would stay silent?

Do you believe Jesus the son of Mary is in heaven now according to the scripture?

I retired from work when I was 54 which was 25 years ago.

Well, it’s the best I can come up with regarding free speech causing one rape in real world. Limiting it to speech of one specific person would require knowledge of exactly which person's speech caused someone to commit rape, which is not really possible to determine at all in real world.
