My beliefs do stand up to logical scrutiny, that is why I believe them

My kids one day will have to make up their own minds.

The fact you have religous beliefs may pass logical scrutiny, however, religion itself can never pass logical scrutiny. I think you are getting the two things confused.

It seems to me, that you are trying to proof your belief here to us.

No, I'm just standing up for my right to believe it.

 

[dutchrain]

No, I'm just standing up for my right to believe it.

I really don't want to offend you, but: Sorry, that is not what I understood from what you are saying. It really seems to me you are somehow defending your belief.

Standing up for your right would have been done with: I believe, it doesn't matter what other people think.

 

[Tryharder62]

So we don't have to argue it all again. LOL

no one is saying or implying anything that is taking away your right to believe in fairy tales...

I'd like to tell you a story sometime. Once upon a time, there was a man named Jesus........

No, no we don't.
But your earlier post, where you stated no one had ever proven you wrong, inferred that you had shown religion to be based on provable facts.

Dutchrain, it's so nice to see you on this side.

There are monsters here, but we do welcome beings from other universes, other planets, and other countries.

It's a bit of a mess, as you can see, but I've tasked Zipman with cleaning this up, and I've been assured that all will be well by Tuesday.

About as many proveable facts as evolution.

Alright, can we just shut this down right now?

Because we are about to alienate a potential member based upon a silly debate that's essentially conjecture!

Can we not hold it off for a bit?

 

[fair_warning]

No, once again you're wrong.
Faith based religion has no facts. The science of evolution is constantly adding to the facts of what we know about life on this planet.

And no Byron, I think dutchrain enjoys a good bone chewing.

So you think that there is not one thing in the bible that has evidence that proved it occurred? Really?

 

[Byron In Exile]

And you, too!

The fact is this: the United States of America is separated from the rest of the world by a paranoid delusion.

And we need to connect with them.

Or else... the USA might actually kill everyone.

The end.

No, you're not paying attention. Evidence that what occurred? Evolution? The Bible didn't occur - well, it kinda is a manufactured document..Constantine, King James etc...
I said there is no proof to back up faith based religion. The Bible does not contain proof, it contains a collection of texts by various authors recording first or second hand events as they understood them, in the context of lfe at the time.

Oh well, when the mess isn't cleared, I'll put my boots on.

It's not paranoia because I have no fear of it.

It's just a logical outcome based upon fact.

During the Cold War, there was a balance: each side could destroy the other. There was no way for either side to win.

But now, the USA holds all the cards. Fully 50% of the world's military belongs to the USA. It now controls the world. If you don't do what it wants, then you will lose.

Is that being God? I don't know...

 

[dutchrain]

Then she would be a girl after my own heart...

Could it be?

 

[Tryharder62]

Looked this up. Not mine. Liked it.

Some say that the Bible is nothing more than fairy tales. But this cannot be for it contains great wisdom and truth and it has been verified throughout history as being accurate. Its historical accounts are flawlessly accurate. In fact, archaeology routinely demonstrates the accuracy of the biblical records concerning locations and events recorded in the Bible.

You're right. I'm hoping for a power split though. Another civil war, this time Republican vs Democrat. Srsly.

Again:

There is no such thing as "proof"...

...there is only evidence.

And...

...not quoting the harlot fluff artist would be greatly appreciated.

Yes!
I like a woman who isn't afraid of a little mess.
