Why can't people see past their bias? It's religiosity at its worst, practiced by atheists here.

H0ary H0bbit Religious Views: “Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.” - Edgar Allan Poe  (October 12, 2014 at 4:19 pm)C4RM5 Wrote: I trust the Bible which says no human should take away a life from someone else. Bracketing out the definition of person, the bible also has a myriad of examples where God actively condones the taking away of people's lives. But it's only not a contradiction to what you posted If you redefine the word contradiction.

And contradictions are only contradictions because we say they are.

Nah, they're contradictions because they contradict other things said in the same piece of text. There's no other way of looking at them, unless you don't look at them.

I never claimed to be a perfect writer, nor would I ever. Happily, I have an editor to help with that, and my reviews so far don't indicate any particular problems with the final product.

Well, you said that the bible doesn't say to kill other people, at which point I said that it does, giving several clear examples. Then you said you don't question gods word which wasn't really an answer. How do you reconsile this without admitting your original statment was wrong? Do you want me to quote the bible verses?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.

For instance say for some reason you hanging of the edge of a large drop and someone is ready to pull you back up, do you let them pull you up and have faith or do you ask for factual evidence to prove that they can pull you up?

Are you saying that you don't have to apologise for something I've done!?! Haha 
Mate, I think you should seriously reconsider your career choices. But only if accuracy helps in your style of writing
