Quote:If you wish to argue that he isn't a historical personage because no one alive has seen him, have at it. It shows your inability to grasp the point about evidence.

Yes, yes that is exactly what I was doing...
Quote:You should be very careful with this line of argumentation, because here's my knight's fork: you must either claim that your Jesus is fictional because no one has seen him, or that Colonel Sanders's existence is only a matter of faith..
Put another way, I've got a shitload of evidence for Colonel Sanders, and you have none -- zero -- for Jesus as Son of God.
Again Jesus is the most documented person of that time period. So no I do not have to admit either. I simply pick up your fork and discard it as it is a straw man built on fault information.
Quote:I find what you claim as "evidence" to be laughably incomplete and unpersuasive. I'm looking for stuff not referencing the Bible, and not requiring a priori faith.see what was written to pro carrots.
In short: real evidence, not this playacting.

So why are you here, and have you read any of your own work?
I have said many times I take great effort to mirror the tome and timber of your own efforts (whom ever I am speaking.) while I do take some satasfication in cutting bullies down to size, and beating them with their own words, fail logic better yet a broken Sunday school understanding of Christianity when they try and force any of it on me. I do not enjoy take happiness from it. I've been a member of this site for a while and have even made some friends/have respect for may of the long time members here. (Just about everyone except Minnie.) even so if he were on fire I WOULD Pee on him to put him out

Quote:Also, comparing yourself to Paul is another sign of overweening egotism.-or it could simply be scoring biblical precedent for my behavior. It does bother me one way or another for you to think either or.
Quote:There's a message there, but your interpretation is wrong.
You can understand the message, if you ponder it long enough. If it doesn't come right away, be patient, and don't give up; I am making it opaque in order to weed out the weak.
I'll give you a sign when you get it.
Have a good day.
So.... Chinese girl awestruck by what I said?
