I have no idea if you're doing your father's bidding but I'm inclined not to believe you.

Bullshit, you're some kind of fundagelical. This fact is evident in pretty much every post you make. All your points are to defend the biblical view of the world, from science through morality all the way to the supposed historical validity of the bible.
It's bloody annoying when people like you lie about your religion.

It's bloody annoying when people like you lie about your religion. I gather that he's easily taken in by "deepities"; a "postmodern believer" who, in essence, thinks all religious are metaphors to describe "the super-real"; I am willing to bet that "everything is nothing and nothing is everything," and similar such declarations, which might impress a small group of hippies sitting around a fire tripping on LSD, would also describe the feelings of a believer like himself. Like I said, a lover of deepities. His posts are better examples than those which I could conceive. That's my sense anyway.

Did you completely forget the entire context of the previous couple pages? That's not a quote from me.

Did I not quote several popular historical non-biblical sources that used it in the same manner and supported my original claim that the founders of the Christian religion meant it in that manner from the source document the Christians use to support their entire religion??? Yes. I have.
You want it to mean what you want it to mean due to your atheistic confirmation bias. It's plain as blinding day light.
I have accepted the burden of proof and provided a plethora of evidence from relevant source of the time. But you, just like the spitting flip image of a religious fundamentalist cannot change perspective even when confronted with overwhelming evidence.

Arki, I think the reason you're losing everyone here is that (1) you aren't addressing the OP, which means your text walls are seen as kind of pointless; (2) you haven't provided crayon drawings to clarify your points.

But you, just like the spitting flip image of a religious fundamentalist cannot change perspective even when confronted with overwhelming evidence. Arki, if you want to define a term, that's fine. People say what meaning of a word they are using, and then they carry on with their point. Fine-- you've said how you use the term. Great, now you need to ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION of the OP. Remember that? This thread is about something.
So do you see any benefits to religious faith?
