Experiencing 'proof'

I guess we'll have to wait until someone "raises from the dead" to figure out whether or not that little biblical gem is accurate. Hell, at the moment it doesn't appear to be so, because even though the story of christ is complete bullshit...it has convinced a great many people. In fact...it's often pointed to as -the most- convincing utterance in the whole sordid snuff story. No one even gives a shit about fucking "Moses" or some random "prophets".., there's an active attempt to distance the faith from either.

You fucking people ask for way too much. People rising from the dead? Seriously? All I asked for was a healed amputee, so get in line, chumps.

For me? Yes. Because every "step" involves magic. What about earnestly engaging in and waiting for the magic that Drich keeps telling us about is supposed to be understandable?

I can understand the force in Star Wars; warp drive in Star Trek; ringwraiths drawn to the One ring in Lord of the Rings... To us, all of these seem like magic, and they truly are made up.
The god part is, as far as I know, the same sort of magic/made up stuff.... it's just older.

OT:

the kind that makes any internet IQ test show a 140..

An IQ of 140 is actually above the 98% of humanity. Nothing "standard" about it.

HEHE, I specifically said "internet IQ test". Don't these give a score between 135 to 145 to everyone?

You see death as an end. I see it as a birth.

I said I gave up, but I'm too persistent for my own good sometimes. I suppose you might provide some evidence for this claim?

Sure do you see death as the end of life? If yes then you have your proof. For I have stated my beliefs and you will have stated yours.

You can? Care to explain them to me then? I'm of the opinion that if one can understand something..one is generally able to explain it.

I think what you might mean is that you understand -that these things are made up-. Not that you actually understand the force, or a warp drive, or a ringwraith. Drich....on the other hand...is not referring to made up things, at least...that's his position on the matter.

Well, I understand their effect. I understand what they're supposed to do... not their inner workings.
That's what I mean when I say I understand Drich's position.
I understand what he wants to make of it, but not how it can really work.

Aye, right.... but he is referring to made up things... he's just not aware of it.

If you don't want it, or if your one of those who can't worship a God that does not accept your morality/you for who you are then know I am not speaking to you.

Apparently, you don't know how the message board, in the public domain works, do you? You see, when you start a new public thread, you are speaking to everyone who comes across this thread. The OP establishes that you are the speaker, and we are your audience.

If you don't like that, if you don't like us as an audience, if you can't deal with getting multiple responses that you don't want because you can't defend your position or make a convincing argument, then I advise you send private messages to people.

Whoah...whoah....you want a bunch of Chick Tracts popping up in your PMs out of nowhere Welsh? Count me the fuck out on that one Drich..if you go that route.

o god no,
Who the hell would want to have any personal conversation with that buffoon??? That's why he's here ... not even the christards like to play with him.
