    If you believe that bit, and I do not. Jay, we are in full disagreement on the truth of Christianity but I must say that I am very thankful for your forceful defense of your beliefs over the last few days. You've given several of us here the chance to be more engaged on one of the most important topics of our time. That's a good thing for all. Have a great night.

    Sure, and the Reichsknonkordat treaty between the Holy See and the Nazis giving them a clear running lane had no religious component. Also, no doubt, it was just to get a good deal that the Wehrmacht belt buckles were embossed with the words "Gott Mit Uns". Certainly it might have been just a casual remark like when our soldiers claim "For God and Country" when killing our enemies. Even so, we constantly find the claim of divine providence in side the trigger guard.

    What type of aircraft and what was the "paperwork" deficiency?
  4. JoeWeber
    And that is irrefutable proof? You know, convincing evidence of the type that a rational person would reorganize their life as an immediate response? Jay, surely you can at least understand why that seems preposterous to so many.

    But not the same song over and over and over.....

    That's even sillier. Find another way to prove the bible with out quoting the bible or some youtube pastor.
  7. JoeWeber
    Jay, that’s just plain silly.
  8. JoeWeber
    You're right, I need to take a tighter grip.

    The very competent jewish school of archeology could not when given free rein, when they controlled the Sinai, prove the Exodus or any other so called fact of the bible when they had every interest to do so. It never happened and they admit it. Still Jay and Ron refuse to accept their delusions. So it is.

    It may already be dead, don't have too much hope. Today at the local UPS store I was entertained by an ignorant jackass wearing a bright red DeSantis 2024 hat. How can we have a democracy when such a high percentage of voters are so ignorant that they stand in line to send obvious cult masters their money and loyalty? No sane person can have any doubt that Trump is a wide ranging criminal and an insurrectionist who cares not a whit for else than himself and is absolutely guilty of every charge leveled against him. But goddamn if there isn't a chance that he'll skate again and be our next President. Son-of-a-bitch.

    At the time resurrections were somewhat common, the raising of Jairus' daughter for example. Then there was Matthew 27:52 and the opening of the tombs and the raising of the many holy dead who then, given there were no Ubers at the time, must have thumbed it into Jerusalem for snacks and fresh clothes before the celebration. Of course, even though there were notable historians like Flavius Josephus there at the time no mention of these miracles is recorded. Now isn't that odd?

    I'd like it if Jay, or Ron for that matter, could offer any evidence that the Bible is true other than the bible itself or some other believer giving a speech on youtube.

    If your kid won’t go to bed because of monsters in the closet and you check but there aren’t any monsters in the closet. And this goes on night after night and the kid won’t go to bed but keeps telling you they are there but you can’t see them, would you just accept that if the kid believes they’re there it must be true?

    No matter how deeply felt the conviction if it cannot be proven it is not a truth, it is simply a belief.

    Chutkan set the trial for March 24. Game on. Now let's get some camera's in the room.

    I do believe we've again reached that delightfully happy moment where the expression of our world views is indistinguishable from simply talking past each other. That, and now I'm bored. Have a great day.
  17. JoeWeber
    That makes no sense except to a Christian, I suppose, who might believe that their opinions/religion must be accepted by everyone without any offense taking.
  18. JoeWeber
    If you like, but did you correctly understand what I wrote?
  19. JoeWeber
    I should probably have posted this in the Hurricane thread, because of how Trump will react, but Judge Chutkan today informed him he was nothing special and would just need to make his schedule work while he was being tried.
  20. JoeWeber
    That's gobbledygook. We each have every right to be offended by what the other says. In this instance I truly do not want you to be offended. What I want is for you to be open to the idea that what you accept without evidence has no traction with the rest of us and should not under any pretext be forced into our lives. That's it, plain and simple.
  21. JoeWeber
    Of course you understand it, you do it and it is the single most irritating thing about the religious. For the most of us we don't give a damn about what you believe that makes your day go easier, we simply don't want it or the effects of it forced into our lives. And for damn sure we are tired of subsidizing it with tax breaks etc. And why stop at blessing America, is that as much as he can handle in a single blessing?

    John, most aren't doing it under threat. They are mostly decent folks who don't know jack about the belief system they belong to or the book they are supposed to worship. My guess is that, at best, most think that Deuteronomy is what gets into the well water after a nuclear bomb blast.
  23. JoeWeber
    Oh, I don't know. I guess I'd be without druthers if a hurricane smited Texas or Florida.
  24. JoeWeber
    Time for Florida to start crying for some of that bloated government agency disaster relief.
  25. JoeWeber
    No kidding. No wonder the Borg are angry all the time.
