I don't know if you remember the recent story where the missionary stupidly went to the Island off of India, and even after being warned not to do it, to spread the good news to an isolated people, and needlessly got himself murdered. I am quite sure that isolated tribe has gods of their own.
Believe it or not, not every discussion is an invitation for you to play the same broken record. I am not an xian, and even I know that almost every xian denomination has pondered the question concerning those who have never heard 'the good news'. Almost all of them have some caveat about how such people are blameless, and that if they served their deity in the way that they understood him, then it can be presumed that they would have desired to accept 'the good news' if they had heard it, and they might be saved on these grounds.
This is a discussion, dude. Try having a discussion instead of trying to pick the same fight in every single thread.
"Broken record"?
That's rich, modern science has not been claiming things like magic babies, or Thor. Claims of deities have been around long before not only modern science, but even before written language. I agree there is a broken record, but not from skeptics pointing out broken logic that keeps being repeated.
I'd say that not enough humans are saying, "That was then, this is now."
And I don't care that you say you are not a Christian. If you post something, I will respond to it.
If you are expecting me to lie to myself or anyone reading this for that matter, I cant do that.
Not liking my responses does not make me wrong.
I see nothing wrong with ditching old claims. In fact, I see everything right about it. If someone says "that is not true" that is not a matter of fighting, but pointing out an error.
