Have you read the good book?
|
Like you've ever presented evidence to back up any of your assertions.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Tarkin has appeared in multiple movies.
One he appeared in nearly forty years after he died. Proof of death and resurrection. All hail Lord Tarkin. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

You've never offered proof of your god, or even real evidence. You're so deep into the woo that you think others are brainwashed for not swallowing your tripe. Pathetic.

In response to the OP, yes.
There are several books in the Bible I love: Genesis (easily my favorite despite its often obviously mythical character and frequent barbarity / Esau's embrace of the treacherous Jacob never fails to move me and the Joseph story is wonderful); Exodus (a ripping good yarn whether I believe it really happened or not); parts of Isaiah; Amos; Lamentations; Ruth; Jonah; Job; Ecclesiastes (probably my second-favorite book in the Bible); Proverbs (in a "if Polonius had written a book of the Bible" sort of way); Kings/Chronicles; "Mark's" gospel; The Book of James (maybe the closest we can get to what the original Jesus community was about); and Revelation (an amazing literary high-wire act of sheer exhilarating lunacy). Of course, there are parts of the Bible -- specifically those dealing with ritual law and those seemingly interminable genealogies that are the reading equivalent of being lowered face-first into a vat of chloroform. And Paul? Few major authors bore the shit out of me like he does, though there are a handful of isolated passages in his letters that are quite beautiful.  You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. (March 9, 2017 at 1:45 pm)downbeatplumb Wrote: I prefer it read by Scarlet johanson.

Seriously man, you saying that really discredits anything else you have to say. Quote:Or are you Soo brainwashed your response to everything offered as proof of God is to simply deny it?You have provided absolutely no proof at all. You have provided very questionable evidence but it isn't very compelling. Quote:If God is not proof of God, then what is?God would be proof of God. We don't have any issues accepting something as proof of something. I accept the fact that I have an iPhone because I am replying to you with it. This is a very basic concept. I don't know why do don't understand it. |
