Seriously, Drich, I wish you could understand how crazy you sound when you start talking like that.
I was making a joke, because when dry sand finally gets to the point where he fully understand an argument, his whole debate tactic moves from name calling and blind uninformed rants to posting memes, gifs and youtube videos rather than trying to keep up topically.
You were caught in a similar situation when I shone some light on your "3000 year old strawman" and further explained my point. Your gif was a sad attempt to misdirect and appeal to popularity, (all the monkey see/monkey doers who in like fashion jumped on the gif bandwagon is proof of that) in the same way Dry sand does when he is caught. You both look to trivialize rather than engage.
I was just pointing out the similarities of the two opposite ends of atheistic debate the two of you repersent. You may see yourself as being miles above another member here (which would make me "crazy" for compareing you two) but truly you only seem to be the opposite sides of the same coin.

So by the looks of things you all are done?
(I did just read everyones posts)
Everyone seems to be at that point where you've all just ignore the last 38 pages of content and circle back around to what has already been proven to be your support of pop morality and what society dictates as being right and wrong.
I mean I could pick all that apart again and showing you the hyprocrisy in all of that, but if you wanted to acknoweledge any of that you would have the first time around... Someone PM me if one of you says something new here. I have a few promises to keep.

No, genius, it was not a strawman, despite your attempts to "illuminate" the situation. It is trivial that you think that the age of your religion, and all the things you think it accomplishes (while ignoring all the things it has clearly failed to accomplish-- including several of the things you mistakenly believe are fulfilled prophecies, even though the basic definition-of-the-word-for-virgin and simialar issues are staring you in the face, as told to you by experts in the Hebrew language who know more than the writers of the New Testament clearly did when reading Isaiah and trying to connect the Jesus-figure to anything they could scrounge up in the OT to justify their tentative claim) have any weight. You deny the very basic nature of what makes humanity, you ignore major scientific findings in favor of your fantasy-delusion about sin-nature and choices, and you try to claim that we should take you seriously when we mock you for talking about magic here in the world of reality.
Only the fact that your religion is so popular allows you to even make those claims without stopping to say, "Damn, this shit I'm saying really is wacky, isn't it?"
I cannot trivialize what is already trivial.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Excuse you. You are not even going to attempt to back up your assertions? How shocking.

Christianity has survived for so long because it's not all about the Bible. If it were, it would have died out a long time ago.
Just consider how much of that stupid fucking text has to be 'read in the context of the time' and how many times you have to pick out if something is a goddman metaphor or not. Consider how many Catholics just toss out the old testament and say "Yeah, just a bunch of stories really. The new testament is where it's at." If people didn't cherry pick to justify their holy book, Christianity would have died a long time ago.
My daughter said it very well when she said: "If the bible was inspired by god, then you would never have to take into account the historical context of the time. Because God would have to be timeless."
Honestly if God is anything like that of the bible, then fuck him. Fuck him if he considers homosexuality something worth sending people to hell over, and he should be the one sent to hell instead of all the people he's considering sending to hell. That's not a good god. He doesn't get to be the motherfucking good guy just because he created the whole damn universe. You have to earn your good guy status.

Here is the thing the bible written by man not really inspired by any sort of god. Considering god of the bible is pretty much a self indulgent
arrogant, racist, homophobic, misogynist, slavery accepting prick. god of the bible is a literally a god of the middle eastern culture. All in all christianity is dying as of now only really surviving because people just had the mindset of just the good bits and fuck everything else. No one really literally will follow what jesus says when it is inconvenient

For that to be the case, I'd have to assume the bible was in some sense "true". Then you have to go forward and decide in what sense you mean that. You can't get around those two steps, and you have no basis for either that is sound.

Ah yes. We're back to "feelies". It's all in your mind, Drich.
