Quote:Psalm 22. 18: 'They part my garments  among them, and cast lots upon them.

Mark 15.24:   'They part his garments  among them, casting lots upon them.

Quote:Psalm 22:7-8King James Version (KJV)

7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.


Mark 15:29-31King James Version (KJV)

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

Quote:Psalm 22:1-15King James Version (KJV)

22 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


Mark 15:34King James Version (KJV)

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


Just cut and pasted bullshit by "mark".  What could they have done with a word processor?

Well for one thing they'd have had a better thesaurus.

Um...that the evidence of this is what objective historians have concluded? And just what the fuck evidence do you have that it's in any way divine, or even coherent or ethical on a human level?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

Quick! Go back and edit your posts to retroactively make it look like they were just as unhinged as you expected! He'll totally buy that!

What evidence? What do you consider to be an objective historian? What is the basis of their reasoning? Are you shifting the burden of proof already?

Actually wasn't even going to post, until you called me out and started speaking for me. But you probably won't believe me, no matter what I say. You'll just make up a story, declare it true and disrupt actual discussion.

Also... you didn't predict that. You can go back and look.

Just an aversion to people trying to manipulate the conversation, to things I didn't claim in the context and avoid the questions I asked about their claims.

How did you, is what you ought to be asking. I was under the impression that you believed in this nonsense.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
