...and that applies to religion as well as politics.. if someone simply believes such and such is true, it doesn't really matter whether you "prove" it or not.
people will believe what they want to believe..
EP, I actually thought you were trolling with that thread. Were you really sincere about that, and yet you agree with minimus' assertion in this thread?
I was sincere. I don't recall saying I agree with minimus. Obviously, some people are like that. Some are not.

Oh, that was a reference to the olive branch thread. Part of the issue some had with an olive branch was the idea of accepting facts and data as they are rather than .... whatever else they wanted to do. People tried to beat me with my own olive branch for suggesting such a radical and crazy idea.

much more than blurry photos and casts of footprints - this one has a long list of experts and lots of dna.. weirdness prevails.
suck it, creationistas.
If they have a bigfoot to compare their DNA samples to, they need to trot him out where we can see him. If they don't have a known source to compare the DNA to, this report is complete crap.
We have a winner!
Incidents such this one should illustrate why "science" is terribly corrupt.
Bingo. Nutbags like the people publishing that study can say they have Sasquatch DNA without actually following the scientific method. JeffT's comments illustrate the corruption quite nicely.
and the priceless advice.. we had a wonderful visit.
it's so nice to finally have met someone on here!.

Dreamgolfer lives near me, we are planning lunch or drinks soon. PM me, you may be in my neck of the woods.

Can I offer you an olive branch?

And it's totally in sync with the Watchtower in its intolerance and vilification. It's sad.
Thinking poorly of something doesn't equal intolerance.

What a hateful post.
Why do you so viciously persecute others?
I'm just mean that way.
Yes, it is odd that the Vatican would get hit by lightning just a few hours after the Pope announced his resignation.
Why is it odd or a coincidence? I was on a plane hit by lightning while I happened to be looking out of the window. I am pretty sure I have been on planes hit by lightning when I wasn't looking out of the window.

OK. Tall buildings get hit by lightening all the time.
why were we so suprised people did not join in droves!
what an awful message we shared......
I understand what you are saying EP and I apologise if I offended you or anyone else, truly that was not my intent.
I get that, but understand that without the argument that you are not better than everyone else even if you have the holy spirit, then what is the point of having it?
I am not offended, BTW. Assertions about how a god a don't believe in feels about me doesn't bother me in the least.

I said that a person is made fully human AS GOD INTENDED when they accept Christ, that process of becomeing fully human AS GOD INTENDED doesn't just happen with a "snap of the fingers' of course butI think the issue is what do I mean when I say "fully human as God intended".
At the end of the day you are advocating that Christians are more human that non-Christians. Same arguments against gays, black people and women in the past. Same argument, just a new target.
They all stated various views from the acceptance of violence, to hunger and exploitation of people, to what some view as a moral decline, the point was that I didn't need to expand on the question or make it clear so I am not sure why the question seemed so hard to answer here.
Those are all problems some people cause, problems your God endorsed. You have yet to define what "fixed" means or even what is wrong with humanity. It's not hard to answer, you just haven't defined what you mean.
Just to be clear once again, I am not saying that a believer is better than a non-beleiver or that a believer is fixed and the non-believer is broken.
No matter how much you deny it, you are STILL saying that Christians with HS are more fully human that non-Christians. Simply adding in "as God intended" only makes it worrse since it mean God meant for some to be inferior.
