I actually wrote an award-winning dissertation on this interesting part of the history of science. So, trust me, you do not wish to argue that "the best scientific community of the day" made this argument.like the evolutionists of today, the people who insisted that the earth was flat were the scientific community of the day.not my view, God's view.
You see? It is impossible to reason and discuss respect when the name of God is invoked as the single justification for your conduct.
I get it. God and you against the rest of the world.
This is what fundamentalism is about: a narrow, adversarial, selfish, often ill-informed and wrong interpretation of ANY religious scriptures.
Again, nothing could be further from the truth. I am a Christian. I just hate to see my and other religions which I respect being misused for political and military manipulation.honestly, if I had come on this board professing my gayness would you be telling me the "problem" with my views, and insulting my character by telling me who you think I abhor and calling me intolerant? It appears that you are intolerant of Christianity in particular, but you prefer to veil it by having a problem with "fundamentalists" in general.My criticism and condemnation for ALL forms of fundamentalism of all religions has been consistent. You seem to be the one arguing that YOUR FORM of fundamentalism is RIGHT because ... it is YOURS (in the name of God and the scriptures as you see them of course).Where are your examples of death and destruction caused by Islamic fundamentalists who are actively looking to try to kill as many non-believers as possible and whose holy scriptures include verses like these...If you have read nothing I have written to you this past week, please read these words of Jesus' that I copied and pasted from Luke chapter 6...
What's a good argument without a good thump of the book, eh?It doesn't appear that I am making any progress here other than angering the atheist majority. probably bout time to go back to talking about football, but sadly there is no football. my goal was to clear up the myth that Christians are out to judge people. Hopefully somebody got that.
Definition of an atheist: ANYBODY who does not see the world exactly according to your own narrow and righteous interpretation of the Bible.
Well you brought up a hundred points and I don't have time to address each one (again), but let's go ahead and put one of your favorite points to bed, that I am misinterpreting what God has said on the subject of homosexuality...
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22 KJV)
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:13 KJV)
what follows is my "narrow interpretation"... read carefully as I stayed up all night narrowly interpreting those two verses...
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Granted, I'm not pompous enough to mention the fancy awards I received for that dissertation, but at least I got to "thump" The Book again. how bout a couple more good thumps and I'll be out...
In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us. 2 Peter 3:3
This is especially true of those who follow their corrupt nature along the path of impure desires and who despise the Lord's authority. These false teachers are bold and arrogant. They aren't afraid to insult the [Lord's] glory. 2 Peter 2:10
There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. John 12:48
So you mock me for referencing God's Word, but you reference... YOURSELF! and then let us know that a bunch of elitist libs liked your "award-winning" paper on the evils of Christianity? lol
we can all see you're very proud, and I assure you that we're all properly impressed. I guess that's the final word on the subject since you won an award for it? lol No need to argue against that, but the Word of God, that certainly needs to be met with your skepticism and mocking. We can't possibly take that literally!
Get over yourself.
