  You cannot do this with Christ because there is no evidence that he was ever a fictional character created by someone's imagination.

  Yet another trap, tec. I forget how it went: "The absense of evidence is not evidence of absense", or so...

  No one can prove Jesus is fictional, thus Jesus is real...We do not have evidence of the fictional nature of Zeuss either...

  EDIT: (so we don't go again down the rabbit hole) If looked at from both sides there is no evidence (I mean pictures, corroborating accounts, piece of cloth, whatever) of the existence or of the non-existence of Jesus. All we have is absence of evidence of both, which in turn is not evidence of either..

  Great synopsis!

  " Intellectual honesty begins only when we are willing to be wrong about the very things we are most convinced are true..."

  This one struck a particularly sensitive cord. With your permission, I am going to print it out and put it in my office...

  It must be one of the most successful Creationist books having sold over 250,000 copies.

  Andrew, book sale volumes tell little about the merits of a book or the success of its application.

  For example, the book "Skinny Bitch" is a bestseller in the US and the UK. You would think that with over 850,000 copies sold nearly everyone around will be a size 2, yet obesity in the western world, particularly in the US, is rising wth an alarming rate....

  as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.

  well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.

  after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

  Congratulations, RG! A great achievement in such a ridiculously short amount of time, considering your circumstances.

  You are a shining example of why the WT, Inc. hates college. Has absolutely nothing to do with material desires, has everything to do with the ability to think and be confident.

  Up yours, Bethel!!

  Bro.Hernandez is a knobhead.

  Ah, Cofty, you Brits carry that inherent eloquence in expression ...

  Let me be more blunt: Bro. Hernandez is a di@khead! (special character used only to attempt cpmpliance with posting rules. My feelings about the "Brother" remain unchanged by word spelling accuracy).

  "Gate A"

  gate a was the infamous meeting area of all the teens and young adults at said district convention when i was young.

  i'm sure there is still such a meeting place at conventions,but i am not wise to it,since i am no longer a part of that "generation",hahaha.. but,yes,it was fun,you could be sure to know where your friends were,and especially where your latest crush was going to be.

  but,for some reason it didn't sit well with the brothers in charge.
