For those who want proof of the exodus

[athrock]

But there are idiots like yourself who don't actually look at the material because it doesn't fit your pre-determined views.

I've dismissed you and your fellow liars-for-christ for having failed to provide evidence that would and -must- be present for the story to have been anything other than fiction....and that's even if we ignore the hex laden sea splitting "mana" bits which immediately relegate the whole sorry affair to the dustbin in the first place.

So did Francis Collins. And Antony Flew. And Peter Hitchens. And...well, you get the idea.

No, Rhythm...you're one of the lucky ones...the ones who have seen through the charade and steered clear of it all.

And yet, here you are...talking to a liar* like me about something that you are absolutely certain does not exist.

Tell me...do you spend time arguing with people who believe in Bigfoot and UFO's, too? Do 9/11 truthers set you off? Do you get all worked up when people mention the grassy knoll? How many times have you watched the Zapruder film? 

Or is there something unique about the idea of God that you just can't let go of in spite of all your protests?



*A charge which you have not substantiated, btw.

Testimonials and name dropping don't convince me, and this is why missionaries such as yourself consistently fail. Use your search function if you'd like to see me rip any -other- moron to shreds; bigfoot, ufos, tinfoil hat aficionados, whatev.

There's no shortage of good entertainment.

I can't believe the fucking kid is actually arguing in favor of slavery as when I originally posted that as an alternative option I was being sarcastic expecting him to have at least some sense of morality..

Indeed. Sadly I could have written his response for him in advance. We've become so accustomed to the broken thinking of certain regulars that we could probably ban them all and use the accounts ourselves and no one would notice the difference.

The reverse is equally true, Rob.

For myself I have opinions on just about anything and will gladly bend your ear about those. By the way on these forums we have discussed with 9/11 truthers and UFO believers, all the crazies like to come here and spout off. It's kinda funny.

LOL, I didn't catch that last bit at the end there.  Why attempt to distance yourself from your own interactions on these boards in such a transparent way? You are a liar for christ, ever present to defend idiocy and bend the truth in service of the biblical narrative. 

This, like my distaste for poor thought and dishonesty of -all- stripes, can be easily verified with ones search function.  So thanks for all the help in that regard.

Nope. Just an endless steam of clay pigeons for you to shoot. Pull!

It occurs to me that if Steven Hawking himself were to hold a press conference to announce his conversion, your response would be, "Poor chap. His health has not been good for quite some time, you know. Obviously, he reached a breaking point. What a pity."

Ah, the world is full of fools...aren't you glad you're better than they are?

Is Stephen Hawking supposed to be the atheist pope or something?

That's Drich's way.  Like I said, he's trying to conflate slavery with employment, while also saying that we're hypocrites for both criticizing the bible for its slavery content and generally denouncing slavery in general even though the West was largely built on slavery.  So, since we're not living in a cave or leading a revolution, we're bad people who have no intellectual or moral ground to stand on regarding slavery.

Which is complete bullshit, of course.  It's becoming incredibly clear that the end result of a capitalistic republic is oligarchy, and short of revolution (either peaceful, through ideas and new government, or violent), it's not going to change, especially when the powers that be keep embroiling us in conflict after conflict which keep us weary.

Sorry, I can't topple the oligarchy.  And I shouldn't be held in contempt because I can't.

look at the bible sport, people sold themselves into slavery as a means of employment. The sold themselves in exchange for lands, the right to marry into a family, to pay debt... Again your the one with the broken idea of slavery as being unpaid black man beaten in a cotton field. I even posted a definition of it, actually here you go again:
from the oxford English dictionary:

A person who is the property of another.

(In the case of factory labor/slavery workers are made to sign quartly or yearly agreements that guarantees so many hours worked a week, or quota demands in exchange for money or some other form of compensation like housing or food.)

Also definition 2:
A person who works very hard without proper remuneration
is .16 cents an hour proper pay to you guys? what about .35 cents per hour? .35 is what Nike Employees got after they pledge to treat their workers better.

Again, you guys have a failed understanding of slavery. One based on propaganda and guilt and not what the word actually reflects or means. You are taking a singular instance of slavery and trying to make that understanding fit all examples in the world so you can look at slavery today and say because nothing looks like it did 200 years ago in America, it does not exist.

This may allow you the ability to pretend that slaves do not exist, but it is at the cost of ignoring how slavery now manifests itself.

Oh, I see. I'm a liar because anyone who argues for Christianity is automatically a liar.

And what am I when I argue against a Christian/theist who is making a bad argument or in error? Perhaps I'm merely attempting to replace their lie with my own?

But specifically, have you ever found me to be intentionally telling a lie when I knew the truth to be other than what I wrote?

[Drich]

go back and re read what I have already said I gave you examples!!! I also posted an article where Nike still employs slaves, they just treat them marginally better than every other slave shop in those regions and people are lining up to get jobs there!!!

That's not even evidence...

I posted links sports in those links are the evidences you pretend to seek
