Evidence for Jesus Christ?

[JohnDG]

Min, do you always take everything that people say as offensive? You thrash around like your the final authority and answer for everything. I know that there are happy atheists out there, your just not one of them.

I thought he was the final autority? Boy was I wrong but oh lordy lordy I once was blind and now I see.

Min makes more sense then you RDK even if he's just trashing.

[thesummerqueen]

Thanks RDK for the kind words - hopefully by using science and logic we can teach them the universe is not created out of randomness,

I come back after a hiatus and I've yet to see any science or logic out of any of the god-lovers on this thread. Ryft, oh Ryft...where art thou? You might be an obfuscating arrogant ass, but at least you could write in grammatically correct sentences.

And i do agree, when you take away god, you take away 'right and wrong' and we are heading towards a moraless society because of this. Being tolerant of someones elses opinion is not something you should be proud of, it should be expected.

Really? Wow. Then why is it that none of you are satisfied with our "opinion" that god is bullshit?

Mr SummerQueen

Thank you for changing my gender completely. Or perhaps you were frightened by a wall of text from a woman?

OK that was just like an expression type of figure of speech type thing - dont be too literal.

Sorry, it's a habit I've developed when dealing with people who are too literal with the Bible, or in your case the Koran.

Point is there is written records from books which date back to not long after Christ, the best evidence would be the christian books found in palestine, the actual place where jesus chilled out. but as i said, the roman church would not publicise these books since they dnt follow modern christian ideas, but as proof of jesus existence you cant deny them. It is a written record of his life written by people that were around him.

Search 'old bibles in palestine' in youtube to see more about these books, you cant buy them from woolworths or hmv.

I'm not going to search youtube, of all places, for god-proof. Burden of proof is on you, so please, cite them and give me supporting sources outside of Christian ones that claim the existence of a holy man named Jesus who performed miracles for believers and non-believers alike.

If you actually had anything to do with the science of evolution you will know there are more questions than answers - why have so many animals stayed virtually unchanged for milions of years yet other have grown legs, walking flying etc.

i dont completely disagree with evolution, there are aspects of it which are logical, ie natural selection, but each and every species was not created from random genetic mutations.

By your own admission you know every little of science where a number to you doesnt represent the randomness of a probability...yet you 'observe' science has proven evolution and disproven the existence of god.

the greatest scientist in earths history was einstein - and he believed in god, more strongly as he discovered more because he fully understood the extremely fine and delicate balance of everything in the universe, which is not possible by chance.

All science creates more questions than answers - it's a self-improving process. Religion creates more answers than questions...mostly because leaders would rather you accept whatever they say and move along like good little sheep.

If YOU had any real grasp of evolution, you'd realize that it is a work in progress for the best version of that organism in the particular environment and situation it inhabits at that particular time. There is no one perfect form. Random genetic mutations almost certainly played a part. I asked for some of the boys to weigh in with their science knowledge because it DOES run deeper than mine in their particular fields - I'm studying horticulture, not pure biology or evolutionary development. It doesn't make me an idiot, it just means I'm deferring to someone who could have possibly done better justice to the knowledge the world currently has. Also, I have "observed" the logic of evolution, and we have examples of it happening around us NOW, but science has yet to prove or disprove god. I am not required to waste brain and heart space believing in something that hasn't been proved to be even likely. YOU can't disprove the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Also, Einstein is ONE of the greatest scientists - and I wish you theists wouldn't keep trying to appeal to authority by grabbing our scientists. For one, Einstein was, if he actually was a theist by your definition, a Jew. Not a Christ-believer and certainly not a follower of Muhammed and Allah. I've already said this in another thread, but can we please all get over that? And just like many other secular Jews, he managed to see the bullshit of the Abrahamic tradition and focus on something more important. If he was a believer, he was a deist, and I'm not even convinced of that. I don't think you can prove it any more than any of the Christians who keep trying to hijack him with cherry-picked quotes...or completely falsified ones like that R-tard in Tennessee.

Sometime during the european dark ages a line was drawn between science and christianity, this wasnt the case in the middle east, even in parts of europe ie spain it wasnt the case, and just because that line was drawn for a brief period doesnt mean theres a universal line between science and every other religion globally.

ONLY europe in the dark ages drew that line, no other religion has ever drawn that line - and 1000years later your still drawing that line. Ancient hindus? the egyptions, the greeks, the babylonians, the muslims, every other major religion science was a crucial part of every day life. Its amazing how willingly people believe 'facts' without seeing any evidence - just by hearing someones statement...religion causes all wars? no power money and greed causes wars, the religions is just how their labelled.

No, there wasn't.There were "men of god" who used the rudiments of science in the church, even though their science was flawed. The scientific method hadn't been developed yet, and so even though those "religions" (which are actually regional ethnicities, as not everyone belonging to those nationalities or ethnicities belonged to the same religion) might have used some of the principles of science, they still believed in woo. And it's hilarious you're arguing about it, as I read books and articles in which scientists from your Muslim countries have to do things on the sly because your religion draws the line against scientific inquiry. Quick fun example: I just finished reading "Bonk," which is a book about the science of sex, and the scientists who went about revolutionizing the scientific study of it. A scientist from a Muslim country is forced to perform health and inquiry experiments in subterfuge with prostitutes and even those are hard to come by.

You're also making sweeping statements - religion doesn't cause all wars, and no rational person would think so. But, it does give a helluva base to inspire people to go. You want to argue that, fine, make another thread. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who will tear your ass to pieces about it too.

example you say to anyone hitler/nazis and their first words would be blonde hair blue eyes aryan super race....yet can anyone show me a quote from his book about aryan super race? can anyone show me black slaves in nazi germany? can anyone show me mistreatment of blacks in USA during ww2? Has anyone ever read jessie owens book a bout the hitler snubbing him incidence? i was taught this sheiBe in school as fact, but it was all lies. Hitler never snubbed jessie owens, if you dnt believe me buy his book and read it yourself - in his own words. fact is Hitler was seen as a protector by african nations from the colonial onslaught of france, spain, italy and england 9scramble for africa) - they were all just as greedy and as evil as each other in those days.

[facepalm]

You all should have ended the thread here. Godwin's law had been enacted.

The man kills six million Jews, on top of the gypsies, mentally or physically handicapped and other undesireables he proclaimed, but you read his book and suddenly he is a protector of African nations? The man who headed the party that distributed propaganda to their people to make them believe just what they wanted, all while rounding up anyone they deemed unnecessary or unworthy and throwing them into death camps, or killing them in mass pits? No, there were no black slaves in Nazi Germany. They had Jews for that. He was a mass-murdering fuckhead. I don't really know what Hitler even had to do with the rest of this thread. He was a Catholic who used God when it suited him to assuage the masses. Or maybe he was devout - there were certainly plenty of other Catholics before him who had no compunction against killing thousands upon thousands because they weren't quite what God wanted according to their interpretation.

Those egyptions were mummified.... as was this one...

How does quoting your holy book prove anything?


I'm getting tired of formatting things and from the rest of the thread it looks like they tried to explain to you what happened, or at least suggested all of you go back to high school biology for a review. I can't believe I wasted my time thus far. I can only attribute it to that wonder of medicinal science: Nyquil.

Lewis Black Quote Break:

I like a cold, because I get to do my favorite drug, which is Nyquil. I love that stuff. What? What do the rest of you use, Robitussin? Robitussin, why do you bother? Non-narcotic, sissy, pansy, bullshit! Nyquil's got the best thing I've ever read on a medicine package: "180 proof". It's the moonshine of medicine. You can buy it on a holiday! 'Cause when I have a cold, I want something that's going to fuck me up. That way the blur seems interesting. There's a day time nyquil, and a night time nyquil. Drink either one you want, because your cold doesn't give a shit what time it is. Nyquil comes in two colors: red and green. It's the only stuff on the planet that tastes like...red and green. And red and green are what? Christmas colors! That's right, Nyquil makes a dandy egg nog. Oh yeah, my friends bitched through the whole party, "this tastes like shit!" but at the end of it, we had a fun sleepover!

First time I did Nyquil was 1977 - it came on the market and I was there. I said "Gimme that!" It had a little nurse's cap on it - get rid of it, it's bullshit. If there was a nurse, I wouldn't need the medicine. So I proceeded to drink the whole thing. Well back then they didn't have the warning about operating farm equipment! Obviously you're not supposed to drink it - I woke up three days later. I was in Rockville, Maryland, a city I'd never been in, and I was standing in front of a courthouse, married to a woman I'd never met. But goddammit, I could breathe again.

That was much more fun then any portion or whole of this thread.

PS - I don't think Min is the final authority. His wife is.

Hey Mr Summerqueen

I really wouldn't bother with that asswipe alemcodon, he was instigating violent threats in another thread because he got a bit upset that I called him a few nasty words.

The guy's a fruit loop, and on top of that a homophobic barbarian who simply shouldn't be given the time of day.
I congratulate you on you wiping the floor with him though, that was a rather fun read.

[thesummerqueen]

Some men believe that women can't possibly be smart enough to hang with boys, and when they prove themselves even slightly capable have to make them mannish to protect their own feelings of inadequacy.

[mocking portrayal of god-following men]God no! Let not there be intelligence and boobs! We already can't resist boobs! Quick! If we make her less of a woman, maybe we can still defeat her![/end mocking]

It's all right, Alemy.

But I am in possession of two X chromosomes, a vagina, a fairly well-developed brain that ever tries to improve itself and that is my quite plump and pretty feminine self in that avatar. So, if you don't mind, that's Ms. SummerQueen to you.

[Minimalist]

Uh-oh.... must be "that time," boys!



Ducks......runs......

[thesummerqueen]

I'm this perturbed when I'm sick, Min. Just imagine if it was really "that time."

Intelligence isn't the issue with a woman, it's the arrogance in believing their never wrong.

Atleast most are that way... Some are reasonable.

[thesummerqueen]

The trick is to never say "I'm right, you're wrong" or "I told you so." It's to wheedle them into realizing their position was inferior in the first place. Or guilting them into it. I don't have to assume I'm never wrong, I just have to get what I want.

And the trick to that is never asking for something that's unreasonable, which is where most women fuck it up.
