Virgin Mary, Ark of the Covenant

[Phatt Matt s]

Oh right, so students are taught conjecture and opinion as fact? Shouldn't they at least be taught the early interpretations and translations as well?

I'm not gonna convert anyone and I don't care about winning an arguement. There's no medal or reward so I could give a fuck less.
However, I'd rather people weren't so closed minded as to be certain they are right and everyone else is wrong.

If there were something I were trying to accomplish, it would be that people would be less arrogant and closed minded about their beliefs be they Christian or Atheist.

Also,
never said you said Mary was a whore. I'm just saying I can't judge you for any blasphemy because I'm guilty of it and that would make me a hypocrite. YOur post about me wanting a nicey nicey Jebus mary Forum is silly.

I made it very clear that resistance is a good thing. That's another reason why I'm not at a Christian forum

It's simply amazing the endless sentimental drivel ("prefigurement") religionists cook up, connecting and reconnecting imaginary dots.
Why would atheists give a rip about that ? But I suppose in as much as it's a "(covered) box", there may be some relationship to Mary and a pregnancy, after all. :p
Next you're be telling us Adam and Eve and Abraham were actually true.

Don't know about the story of Adam and Eve. THere is a good lesson in it but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it isn't nothing more than a story. I do believe in original sin. I turn on the news and see examples of it everywhere in our fallen world.

Bucky Ball, I never thought I'd see Aractus kick your ass in a debate. He actually proved some of your bold assersions wrong. YOu say everyone that disagrees with you is full of shit, and you know the facts, and are so much more educated. How much you boast of your education is becoming a broken record you know.

Then you make absurd comments that can be easily refuted by someone with an education. I foolishly believed your credibility however, including when you said "No scholar says they weren't written after 70 AD". I completely swallowed your bullshit unwisely believing you knew what you were talking about.

I really don't give a shit when they were written, but what I learned is that you're a fucking liar who will make a bold assertion without checking to see if it is fact.

Now I realize you were taking advantage of my knowledge gaps. See, I quote Historians and scholars and you say "no that's full of shit". THen you (apparently) rewrite the facts and I can't prove you wrong and assume you're very educated and maybe right.

Well, the more I see, the more convinced I am that you don't know nearly as much as you boast you do, and in many cases you're straight up full of shit!

Too abrasive to the ears of the Children of Mary? I just got done telling you to be fowl to your hearts content. Also, it was an Atheist who originally told you on this thread that you're being too abrasive and need to chill out.
