I think I could be a generally content neo-platonist following Plotinus. Im not all that hung up on NT reliability etc but slowly I'm finding its historicity more and more plausible. Reading a lot of Robert Price lately. Very amusing and witty fellow and he makes some interesting points but not yet enough to turn me the other way.
Well, that's a bullshit lie if your posting history is any indication, but the part about you finding it plausible is just asinine. So you're both a liar and a jackass. Good job, now you can put two things on your resume.
There is no version of any god anywhere that is acceptable given the state of the world as it is. If a god is too impotent or uncaring to rescue people from intolerable torment or correct adherents about its desires for us, that is an unworthy god no matter what other characteristics they possess. Of course as a rational skeptic I'd still question whether the answer is correct if it's not demonstrated in a way that is scientific but yes, I'd want to know for certain if only to get all the theists in the world to finally shut the fuck up about their stupid bullshit and not be able to get away with all their crap in the name of their phony-baloney gods once they are slapped in the face with the reality that no matter how diverse their beliefs are, they were still dead fucking wrong.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
