Re: Jason101 aka Jason Burn's paper discussion thread 2: Par
I think having some sort of Freudian team at hand to monitor peoples behavior on YouTube would be an arduous task which would most likely be abused anyway by being flooded with false flags.
Is not the options on YouTube sufficient...
From an ethical position you're not going to get the exact same answer from everybody. If you ask a moral nihilist: 'So tell me why it's wrong' what do you expect to hear? The word 'wrong' is an arbitrary word, just like if you was to ask 'why is it bad'. If you personally feel it is wrong then...
Sounds like nights with my ex. :shock:
Yes it is, due to what I take the statement to imply.
I'll leave it here as I think we've had a good back and forth, but I think we both agree we have made our points.
:D :D :D
I don't think it is intellectually honest, but this was a question/statement rather than an argument - reason being is because the Bible is incoherent and easily misinterpreted. So anybody can pick and choose as you have said. But I, for one, believe in principles of logic, so I don't find it to...
This is exactly what I said when I brought up the the requirement of evidence dependent on the defining characteristics of Christianity. Dependent on what constitutes for Christianity determines what is needed to prove it. So your definition wouldn't actually bring anything under scrutiny, so...
It doesn't take much for me to get tipsy, few Magners or something and i'm there :D
I'm guessing alcohol free beer tastes bad, decaff tea tastes terrible :x
Ohhh Nooo! Why call it a church...NO!!!!!
Even though we're in a church, this is not a church..... :|
Just looks like a get together of fellow existential nihilists trying to ignore depression, seems cool :cry:
Well firstly I can understand in having a starting point, but I don't see how it follows that this is evidence for the unnatural & illogical claims of Christianity. And i'm not being ignorant of the starting point but it wouldn't follow this is proof.
Also to elaborate on my remark, I was...
Yes, but once again, you're just trying to justify people believing in a divine Jesus, while Christianity if in-fact true, needs to justify it's beliefs to be true.
I am in no doubt that history has been swayed by Christianity. After the Saxon age, Britain slowly incorporated Christian values...
Again this is dragged back into definitions. And when you say you're speaking broadly of Christianity, and not narrowly, this is why your arguments with the statement is some what troublesome. The reason i say this is because your standpoint will never get to the crux claims. And as for the...
A statement what is under fire needs to have some sort of unambiguous meaning to it if the actual substance it is addressing is going to be challenged. What is happening here is good old fashion semantics. The definition is exhaustively being thrown back and forth which inevitably means whatever...
Re: Evidence for Christianity [SPLIT TOPIC}
I was wondering why the responses I made wasn't here? New thread :o :D I'll re-post just for the fun of it.
I just read all the replies to Engelbert and it seems that this conversation has hit abnormal levels of ad-nauseum if no evidence is going...
I just read all the replies to Engelbert and it seems that this conversation has hit abnormal levels of ad-nauseum if no evidence is going to be presented to justify the beliefs of Christianity to be a reality. We need evidence to prove a divine messiah called Jesus actually existed, rose from...
