Thanks, I was really asking in the immediate context... but if one desires to build a case, that will be accepted also... although lately there is a lot of this useless back and forth stuff to trudge through; which is pretty much useless.

Haven't had pleasant experiences using searches on forums; at least on ones I've been on for ages and have tons of history and way more users. Well, there you go, Beep-Beep, an index of your inanity. Compare posts from different threads and see how you contradict yourself, rather than comparing them from the same threads, that should make it a little easier.
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?

I wish skeptics could settle on a side. If the gospels appear to contradict each other, they say that's evidence that they were fabricated. When the gospels agree then the skeptics say it's all just cut-and-paste. Here's an idea. Maybe when the gospel writers agree it's because they're all writing about the same guy and they appear to disagree because they are using the same literary conventions as Plutarch's Lives.

(nuf said, it's not really any more complicated than that... scampers back to obscurity)

All gospel is mythology, of that all skeptics agree.

Once again you have your head up your ass.  Apologetic bullshitters aside, scholars understand that the so-called gospel of mark was written first and large parts of it were lifted ( plagiarized in the modern parlance ) from OT texts.  The later gospels of matty and luke ( whoever the fuck they were ) were re-writes of mark and the contradictions are crystal clear and seem to derive mainly from the desire of the authors to appeal to different audiences.  Lastly we have john who seems to have been highly upset at the way his godboy was portrayed and set out to make him more heroic and magical.

So what you have is a fictional ( and plagiarized ) story, two fanfics and a sequel.  I know you don't want to hear this but your wants are of crashing indifference to me.  Say hello to Swedenborg when you see him.

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you not understand that those two are not mutually exclusive? Who the fuck thinks that something made-up can't also be copied? It's not like anyone who put this to paper was in any way intelligent, so their fuck-ups in failing to remember what they already wrote down are almost inevitable, even when it's being pulled out of their asses and not dictated by anyone else.

What the fuck are you talking about? Hiding a members posting history is not an option in the user cp.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I never said it did, I just couldn't find a link with their user profile that matches up to the one I have where I can check my personal posting history. Fair enough, I can just use the search, I just happen to dislike using searches on forums because then you've got posts from other people where whoever you're searching for's name is just mentioned mixed up in posts they made themselves. It's just a little annoying (maybe I'm slightly OCD about that kind of thing). I just wish it was streamlined so I could find a link to their posting history as easily as I can click on my own. But beggars can't be choosers on a free service forum.

Edit: Never mind, I was looking in the wrong place. It's placed in a spot I wouldn't have thought to look and doesn't have an eye-catching appearance compared to when I'm logged in and the link to my posts is right at the top of every screen.
