Excavating The Empty Tomb

[Brian37]

Ok I find your sig complete irony since it is basically telling you to cherry pick. But funny how cherry picking is exactly what that book is telling you to do.

Now watch as I quote someone basically saying the same thing WITHOUT who did not use a bible to do so "Question with boldness even the existence of a god, for if there be one surely he would pay more homage to reason than to that of blindfolded fear" Care to guess who said that?

Or I could point out Socrates in "The Apology" who ALSO said questioning was good.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave also is metaphor to question. Although his flaw was that he didn't take into account needing a form of quality control such as a "control group" because he couldn't have back then known how scientifically important control groups were.

But all your bible quote is teaching you to do is cherry pick when the answers people object to allows you to avoid facing contradictions.

So the irony I see in your sig is exactly why you can reject some of the bible when what you really need to do is reject ALL OF IT.

That quote is exactly why you commit the mental gymnastics to justify clinging to that ancient comic book.

"Empty tomb" the story in the bible, but so are lots of fantastic and outright absurd stories such as plants being created as adult plants witout photosynthesis, the moon being a separate source of light, women being made from a man's rib.

So when we poke holes in the second most important super hero in that book which is supposed to be God too, I think it would be wise of you to scrap such a Swiss cheese piece of garbage and accept ALL of it as fiction.

But you are not going to have it both ways. Christianity did not invent the idea of questioning our evolution causes that. Your sig is why you can ignore WHY that video allows you to pretend to throw us a bone, then still justify clinging to a book of myth.

"I am not like the others" yep yes you are, just merely a watered down version.

In fact your sig probably is the most insidious verse because it allows you to ignore all the bad shit in that book precisely because it tells you to ignore it, which is not exactly what produces good results when we question.

The problem with your book of myth is that is is arbitrary and whatever you claim Christians have a patient on we know evolution proves that people outside your gang can and do the same type of good things all the time. That sig allows you to play self rightious and pretend you have the inside track on human morality.

We don't need your book and you don't either, you just think you do.

So you wanted me to watch the movie because you all were convinced it was Religious kryptonite, and when I did and did not fall before it in tears, but took the argument down to it core and took it apart you all reacted just like I said you would. You abandoned this crap movie for the next wave or retreat back to the good ole standby arguments (you apparently) thought you had to go back before Christ but even so. You guys are too predictable.

You know, DP, trying to get Drich to correct his spelling might just be a wa... sorry, I just can't. :x

It's the only thing he has over me, let him have it. It really not that big of a deal... To anyone but him and people like him..

We don't have imaginary friends, you do. So sure we are "predictable" calling bullshit bullshit.

Human ignorance, meaning lack of scientific awareness, was around long before Jews started that splinter cult. The mistake the founders of Christianity made was no different than the ignorance of cave dwellers painting animal gods on cave walls.

Before you get to all the immoral claims and fantastic claims of your comic book, you still are starting with the naked assertion that thinking can happen without a material biological structure such as a brain.

Don't feel alone, humans will invent new gods and superstitions and people today are buying watered down si fi woo as well.

The two most important stories in your comic book are bullshit. Humans need two sets of DNA to manifest into a baby, thus making the virgin birth story bullshit. The "empty tomb" as written was to imply that a human being magically escaped death. So the natural explanation if such an event was "observed", the explanation was that it was a hoax, not that there is any record outside the bible of it ever happening.

If you go to a magic show and watch Penn and Teller make an elephant disappear on stage, are you stupid enough to actually believe they did that?

You merely have picked that comic book because you like the stories in it. But it has no scientific credibility, it's head character is an unmovable dictator, and acts like a spoiled sand lot brat who burns his army men in the sand box when he cant get them to do what he wants.

It is an irrelevant myth written by ignorant humans who had no clue of the nature of reality.
