Has anyone else noticed that those who expound on conspiracy theories can't spell?
Thread title: conspiracy ~~theorys~~ theories
Drop the y and add "ies"
Easy peasy (grade one or grade two?)
And you want other people to take you seriously?

Everyone said, back in the 90s, that the internet would make people smarter - dictionaries right at a person's fingertips!

Too lazy to use the tools that are available

Sources of John's vivid imagery
by Doug Mason in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in common with other apocalyptic writings, such as daniel and 1 enoch, john’s letter employs vivid, memorable imagery.

as with the other elements of his apocalypse (revelation), john draws on existing sources for his material.. meanings inferred from the images need to keep the following firmly in mind:.

1. the symbols had to have meaning for and be clearly understood by his immediate intended hearers.. 2. john intended that these images encourage those hearers to “overcome”, then and there.. 3. john anticipated that the coming of jesus was imminent, “soon”.. it is my belief that the images were intended to depict earthly opposition (rome and apostate jews) as well as heavenly opposition (wars in heaven involving satan).. the writers/compilers of daniel also employed vivid imagery.

venus: symbols, imagery, allegories, parables ... are all obscurantism....God would not resort to such means (1 Cor 14:8)
God is a symbol, an image, and an allegory
God is obscurantism
It doesn't matter if you quote some obscure biblical text...God is still a symbol, etc etc. That is where "he" resides - in metaphorical language

atomat: My point is just because you believe something doesn't mean its true.
My point is that belief is not necessary when knowledge is there instead

Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism
by slimboyfat in
1. jw
2. friends
in the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.

i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).

but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

Slim: Except I think there might be a real God behind the Bible.
What about the Vedas?
The Quran?
The Sutras?
The Bhagavad Gita?
The Upanishads?
