Lie in the bed you made, then. Maybe if you really want to worship a guy that was born of a virgin, became a traveling teacher in his thirties, and rose from the dead three days after being killed, you should look into all the other ones that did much the same thing. Cover your bases, at least.

I do not like it any more than you that this is not what we get.
In 42 years on the Gospel road I have heard of a couple of people with encounters like
Paul on the road to Damascus. That's it- a couple.
Well, there is a guy coming who will have some signs and wonders.
He is the one I am warning you about.
Not signs and wonders. A sure way to demonstrate such god, both to myself and unto others, is that too much to ask to the creator? You know, the same way I can teach you that putting your hand into fire, well... burns.
Other than that, all you got is fables from the late bronze age.

I have pulled the wheels off and yanked the engine out.
It was a good car, on a rough road and I am glad to have arrived safely.
Too bad it happened to be in the trailer park of ignorance and false idol worship.

Personally, I would love to see no one here, when the Man of Sin steps out onto the stage in full power but that ain't gonna happen.
None of it will happen. Seriously, dude - why do you believe this nonsense?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

You know, I was going to laugh at this and just move on to the next thread... but goddamnit this is sad. It's a fucking shame that religion does this kind of shit to people. Not only does it enable people to shut their mind down, it lets them be proud of it.
Yes prof. do keep being proud of your delusional tripe, and keep insisting that it's the 'truth'.

Oh, and Mitch, if it wasn't for bronze, we would yet be walking or riding some animal.
Bronze is still used for bearings.
WHat about the believers of other religions who have had such personal "revelations"? Do you give their claims any credence.

Shep! You Found It !!
That is the exact car I drive! Even down to the strange purple color.
A Geo Prisim- one of the most durable critters ever built (well, it really is a Toyota).
Coming up on 200,000 miles. Right now, with studded snows on all around.
You guys are all right.
Wait a minute Shep- the first pic I saw was not the land rover. Where did the toyota go?
