  2. beliefs

  last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

  our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

  me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

  You can believe in the inspiration of the Bible without believing it is all literal.

  Jesus believed it was. Are you saying Jesus was wrong? If it isn't literal, then there literally is no point to any of it.

  1. Christians don’t know the bible ( we know there is a group of people out there who really know the bible ).

  Nope, never said that. Try again.

  She claims we are still under the law of moses ( I think ) according to the bible.

  Nope, never said that. Try again.

  The law of Christ didn’t replace the old convanent.

  Nope, never said that. Try again.

  Again I must state I am not exactly sure what her theological stance of what the old covenant and new covenant are . It’s almost like she is trying bambozal us with all kinds of fancy jibbler jabber.

  Sorry, I didn't mean to bamboozle you. I was just relating a funny story, sorry if it hit a nerve or described you exactly.

  Repressed much ?? You can take the dub out of the hall but it is harder to take the hall out dub

  Repressed? Jdub? What in the world are you talking about? Are you even trying to use your words or make a cogent thought?

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  richard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.

  (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.

  time: "could the answer be god?

  If someone were to ask: Is Richard Dawkins an agnostic or an atheist? How would one respond?
  And please, friends, do not direct me to a book. Just a simple answer would suffice and I will go my way off this thread.

  Ask Richard Dawkins. Or read a book.

  I quoted Richard Dawkins and posted a video of Richard Dawkins?
  Where did I say anything?

  Well, first you said you had not written commentary and then you did and now we don't know.

  The point is, we've got some trouble with your veracity. We need tor straighten that out.

  Perhaps you could actually try listening to that little video in the OP, since my comments were a summary of exactly what Richard Dawkins said in the video?

  FT, you claimed you made no commentary, now you say you did. Which is it? We can get to the truth of your commentary (or lack thereof) once we determine which of your statements is true.

  I believe that Richard Dawkins meme theory fuels the militancy of militant atheists. It probably also fuels his own militancy.

  You've not shown us how studying science has anything to do with memes. Try again.

  You also still owe us the evidence that what FT wrote is an accurate representation of what Dawkins said.

  one or two of you have noticed that i use derogatory terms when talking about matters religion.

  i offer no apology.

  When he gets called a bully, he thinks it's terrible and says...

  What a vile, evil, low-life.

  But, when he is playing at being a bully, we get this...

  You really don't wanna know what I would call christards if I wasn't on a public forum.

  And then the bragging starts...

  Yes, I have a business.
  Yes, it is profitable - very - because I have put in an enormous amount of effort in order to be the very best that I can be.

  Poor guy. He just needs attention and doesn't know how to get it. Being a bully doesn't get it, so he tries being a victim. When that doesn't work, tell us how awesome he is.

  What you, 8?

  And now you're doing PeeWee Herman to attempt to pretend others are guilty of your shortcomings.

  the evidence is in front of you - all you need to do is listen for two or three minutes.
  do you even know what Dawkins says about memes?

  OK, you've got nothing. You can't or won't back up your claims and now you're attempting to insinuate that I am somehow at fault.

  It's a typical tactic, a sad and laughable tactic and one I am sad to see you turn to.

  viv; it is only a few minutes long - check it yourself

  Don't be ridiculous. You made a claim, provide the evidence. Otherwise, why are you talking?

  dawkins did not just coin the word meme. furthermore he ties memes to religion - so yes it does matter how much time spends doing science

  Specifically, why does his time spent on science have anything to do with memes on religion? Tie the two things together with a cogent, reasoned argument that shows direct cause and effect. Otherwise, you've done nothing but make an empty claim.
