There was a single Pop Rock that appeared out of nowhere, and it was mixed with some magical Mt. Dew, and *POOF* *BANG* *BOOM* it all happened.
Max, are you a theist? You didn’t say in your introductory thread.
Right. I did respond to your question directly when you asked the other day. I believe there is a God with a purpose.

Some of the events in Daniel are not thought to have taken place yet. If something didn't happen, then no reason to assume it can't or won't happen.
Irrelevant to the conversation between CDF and I, since CDF maintains that the events discussed have taken place. More to your general point, there is actually reason to conclude that the events of christian obsession will not take place.
The expectation is based upon a faulty interpretation of someone else's fairy tales about a different set of events that already have taken place.

Or maybe some of them have. How do you know? If they did, then what does that mean? If they didn't, what does that mean? I don't stress too much about what I don't know. I wait until I do know, then I form a final conclusion at that time. If I don't know, then no reason to form any conclusion.

Understood. I have those moments too when life is filled with distractions and it's easy to let things slip by.

If you call something a "fairy tale", then what's the point of discussing it, especially if he doesn't see it as a fairy tale? If you can't agree on a definition of things, there's never any hope of it going anywhere.

@ Max -
How do you know, or why do you believe that a personal god with a purpose exists? What leads you to that conclusion?

"The overthrows" were the maccabean revolt. Daniel, you see, is set in the context of a folkloric hero of the 6th century, but daniel has two narrators, one supplying those details consonant with that personage..and another writing closer to 160bce who is ignorant of what any "daniel" of 600 bce would have been very familiar with. The second narrator is the one that you think was engaging in prophecy, and a prophecy about some christ and some catholic church, no less!
The irony here, is that the maccabean revolt was a response to precisely those pagan heresies creeping into jewish society that would one day become your religion. Mazel tov!
(the hellenists spent the next few years begging hand over knee for help from their seleucid overlords)
