I Love Jesus Christ

[Losty]

I don't think this forum is an anti-Christian forum, Jon. I'm glad to meet you, hope to see you around. Make yourself at home and have some welcome cookies.

[Tombochan]

Yes, there is the irony of my having turned your words on you but that isn't much of a riposte. Have you no counterpoint?

[abaris]

Well, if you're honestly out for a debate and willing to listen to counter arguments, welcome.

[Angrboda]

Welcome. Wear a cup.

Hiyas.

I can't say as I place much stock in a theology degree, myself. We'll see if you studied critical thinking as intensively.

I can't say as I place much stock in a theology degree, myself.

What has theology ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has theology ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? I have listened to theologians, read them, debated against them. I have never heard any of them ever say anything of the smallest use, anything that was not either platitudinously obvious or downright false. If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the smallest difference? Even the bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don't do anything, don't affect anything, don't mean anything. What makes anyone think that "theology" is a subject at all?

Modhat:

Seriously guys? Why do you need reminding about the rules of the Intro forum?

"Whilst we are generally lenient with insulting language / rudeness in other forums, this kind of behaviour is explicitly disallowed in the Introductions forum. Please welcome new members to the community in a nice manner, or refrain from welcoming them at all."

Take it to another section if you can't be polite.

[rexbeccarox]

Oh, and welcome, JCL.

Welcome aboard Jesus'LatestFlame. So glad you found us. Indeed the truth will win out. I'm happy to ante up my soul in a wide open search for the truth with you. As you will learn, we are the fulfillment of Christianity. Well, actually I'm not well read where the bible is concerned. But you'll find there are many here who probably have studied it longer and know it better than you. But you go ahead and find a good reason for me to believe in bible stuff and I'll join up on the spot.

I truly hope you will enjoy the experience.
