Yikes, thank you Simon.
I just figured that was a common saying.
Not only did they fling eggs, at times, I heard they didn't fling good ones.

No prof. No. Please please don't make me put you in the sexual innuendo thread. It feels so wrong.

Innuendo eh? Is that what they call it these days? Wink Shades

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's not the egg on your face that is the problem.

it is all the other crap in your brain messing up your critical thinking and rationality that is the real issue.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I was taking a nice relaxing bath and I remembered a question one of you had, so rather than take a bath-nap (do any of you take naps in there?) I came back online....

Quoting Ksa:
professor Wrote: The hard part (and I mean sweating-hard) for myself was making the decision to get off the throne of my own life and placing the real king there. The King who died in my place.
THAT is entering the Ark.
(Ksa continued)
Do you realize that the Revised Standard Version of the Bible does not make it very easy to believe in the ascension, trinity and crucifixion of the Christ, much less in him dying for the sins of men. You're telling me what the apostles of Christ interpolated...I wish to know what the Master has to say. Where does the Master say any of this in the Bible?

My reply-
Ksa, I use the King James or Amplified sometimes.
But it doesn't matter if these exact words are in there or not.
The concept is there.
The terms, trust in, believe on, believe in, call upon, and many other words convey the idea.
In the OT, the entire system of animal sacrifice to cover the sins of the nation for a year, was a foreshadow, a prophecy, of what the Messiah would do in his own body- not for a mere year, but forever.

Maybe you should throw that RSV in a recycle bin?
It is probably a version that came from the corrupted Hort/ Wescott deal I heard about.
Simon, critical thinking and rationality?

You made me think of something.
There are only 2 groups that know what is going on.
The Illuminists and the aware Christians.
How is that for rationality?

The King James Bible has some lovely language, but it isn't an accurate translation.
The RSV is more accurate.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Illuminists. Aware Christians.

ROFLOL

I love this thread.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
