Experiencing 'proof'

Hell, at the moment it doesn't appear to be so, because even though the story of christ is complete bullshit...it has convinced a great many people. In fact...it's often pointed to as -the most- convincing utterance in the whole sordid snuff story. No one even gives a shit about fucking "Moses" or some random "prophets".., there's an active attempt to distance the faith from either. You fucking people ask for way too much. People rising from the dead? Seriously? All I asked for was a healed amputee, so get in line, chumps.  (November 15, 2012 at 1:21 pm)Rhythm Wrote: For me? Yes. Because every "step" involves magic. What about earnestly engaging in and waiting for the magic that Drich keeps telling us about is supposed to be understandable?I can understand the force in Star Wars; warp drive in Star Trek; ringwraiths drawn to the One ring in Lord of the Rings... To us, all of these seem like magic, and they truly are made up. The god part is, as far as I know, the same sort of magic/made up stuff.... it's just older.

I suppose you might provide some evidence for this claim?Sure do you see death as the end of life? If yes then you have your proof. For I have stated my beliefs and you will have stated yours.

Quote: To us, all of these seem like magic, and they truly are made up.I think what you might mean is that you understand -that these things are made up-. Not that you actually understand the force, or a warp drive, or a ringwraith. Drich....on the other hand...is not referring to made up things, at least...that's his position on the matter.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I understand what he wants to make of it, but not how it can really work.

You see, when you start a new public thread, you are speaking to everyone who comes across this thread. The OP establishes that you are the speaker, and we are your audience. If you don't like that, if you don't like us as an audience, if you can't deal with getting multiple responses that you don't want because you can't defend your position or make a convincing argument, then I advise you send private messages to people.
