On Non-belief

[Tex]

If a theist does research, the research is usually tainted and the results are worthless, for the theist begins by assuming he knows what the result will be and will skew the experiment so that it produced the expected result.

I equate your statement of superiority to that of racism. The racist believes that the different person is less than "his own kind". You do that to Christians. Quit it. I'm pretty sure Christians can think just like people because they are... well... people.

It is enough for you that the Bible sometimes mentions real events. You'll ignore, or dismiss, the fact that it is the sole source for most of the events it claims to be true. You sloppily dismiss errors and contradictions as unimportant, and arbitrarily so. For you, it is enough that societal norms in western civilization coincide slightly with biblical morals, ignoring the fact that western society viciously shuns many biblically-moral activities such as slavery, misogyny, child murder, genocide, and rape.

I have not said most of this. You put words in my mouth in order to straw man me. It is what you are best at. You try to look better than your opponent by bringing the opponent down rather than actually making an argument.

Further, I've already addressed most of these things on other threads and you keep saying the same stupid things. That is not what i believe, you know that's not what I believe, but it makes me look bad by continuing to straw man me. You must have no argument against me. I will take these insults as compliments.

So, take a moment from insulting someone else for not acknowledging the multiple contexts of the world 'research' and remember that one of them is "analysis of a work of fiction", which is the sort of research you're really engaging in.

So I'm supposed to take a moment from insulting... and then you insult me? Lol. This is probably why you don't argue: you refute yourself every time you try. Not to mention your assertion that any sort of philosophical or theological assertion is "analysis of a work of fiction" is completely baseless, especially with secular history corresponding to it completely. That means other civilizations also recorded what the Jews did on multiple instances.

especially with secular history corresponding to it completely.

Whereabouts? Secular history btw....? LOL. No, there is history, then there is legend, then there is myth. If you stripped your holy books of every reference to magic (even the kinds of magic that go un-noticed nestled between the bigger pieces of magic) it would still barely raise to the level of legend. In fact, one of the most dramatic failures of the narrative (more accurately the failure of -some- of it's adherents in claiming) is that it is -not- history.
