And surely therein lies the rub. If it truly were propaganda why on earth would they have included these details?
I think you mean central points to the story? Also, do you not know how propaganda works?
supposedly the disciples witnessed jesus' super-power awesomeness first-hand.. so they were all 100% on-board to-the-death martyrs ... right?.
erm .... judas betrayed him.
thomas didn't believe he'd come back.

1st corinthians 15 12-17. but if it is preached that christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even christ has been raised.
and if christ has not been raised, your faith is futile... .
Lanza's main argument seems to be that there is evidence that observation affects causation in the material world.
There is zero evidence for that. If that is his argument, he is misunderstanding the observer effect.
He is suggesting a paradigm shift is in order because the irregularities in the traditional conception of the universe are mounting up
Such as?
If we ask Lanza how his idea is falsifiable it might be a fair question to ask how the traditional view of the world is falsifiable.
Pick an example I will explain it to you.
Why assume it's the former and not the latter?
Because every example of consciousness requires matter and every example of matter we have requires a universe. All of the evidence is on one side of the argument.
Just because it seems a bit Star Trek or Twilight Zone, doesn't mean it's not true. Just because one view is traditional and dominant doesn't in itself make it more rational than an alternative if the alternative has equal explanatory power.
Such is the justification for every ridiculous idea and crackpot theory ever put forth with all of the evidence against it. "Well, you can't prove it's not true". Not only is it a pointless argument to be dismissed without consideration, it betrays a fundamental lack of understanding about science.
Just because one view is traditional and dominant doesn't in itself make it more rational than an alternative if the alternative has equal explanatory powerIf it has more explanatory power, then that means it must be a hypothesis that is falsifiable, testable and have evidence. So far none of the crackpot theories mentioned have any of that.
about a month ago, i purchased arabic/english gospels of john that contain a commentary for muslims.. .
i went to one of my neighbors and spoke to him and gave him one.
fast forward to today, my brakes need done so i took my car to the shop, walking back into my street i saw my friend abdullah outside.. .
You tell me to not co-apt yet you continue to use my words to say that I was fanaticizing about abusing you. No. I simply said that if you were my child, you'd be silenced by my left hand.
"I didn't say I would beat you, I just said I would hit you until you shut up!".
Wow, not even man enough to own up to your own words. How.... impotent.
And I've no idea where you got that sexually assaulting you from. You just like putting words in my mouth, huh?
Because grabbing a kissing women against their will, something you said you would do after you beat me, is sexual assault. How impotent of you not to know that.
Should I say the same for you, and is that all you got, Miss Evil?
Should? Of course not. How impotent of you to even ask that question.
And good grief, at least change it up everyone in a while instead of using the same term so often. Don't you know "anything original, smart, clever or funny to say"?
If the tiny, tiny banana hammock fits, I must use "impotent". I mean, your impotent penisless god doesn't even get a tiny banana hammock, so, you know, you got that going for you.

You are the only one truly impotent because you use that word so many times.
The best you can do is attempt to now try to co-opt my comments and use them?
How impotent, just like your god. Let me know when you've got anything original, smart, clever or funny to say. You know, original, smart, clever or funny to people do don't fantasize about impotently beating and sexually assaulting women.
And to use you're instead of your is a kindergarten mistake. Mines, not so much.
Forgot the quotes again and added an 's' where there shouldn't be one. Again, if you want to try to correct others, make sure you aren't being cocked up yourself. When you are, your comments are just so impotent.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Let me know if you manage to come up with anything not impotent.

The problem with atheist sceptics, I often find, is they are simply not sceptical enough. There is so much about reality we do not know that it is really very premature to be definitively closing doors on any possibilities.
Do you know what "skeptic" or "atheist" means? I ask because it seems like you don't.

How does that feel?
Potent, unlike your god, who, of course, is impotent.
You must be a terribly sad person day and night to let your mouth say such things as if they are just mere social banter.
Oh, no dear, this isn't social banner. I don't discuss how impotent your god is in polite company, only with those blustering about how tough their do-nothing impotent Viagra poster boy is.
If only you were under someone who could reteach you the law of God the right way.
Well, you've already fantasized about beating me and forcing your mouth on me against my will (that's sexual assault, BTW), so it doesn't surprise me that you would want to put a man in a position of power over me to tell me how impure I am because I have my period, at least according to your god who was so impotent he couldn't stand a woman on her period, the way he made her.
Not all science is wrong, but your feint knowledge in it is evil. But you already know this.
Try that again and have it make sense this time. As it is, it's rather limp and impotent, like you-know-who.
Oh, and it's your by the way. You must be hard pressed in your arrogance to make that type of mistake.
Actually, since you're quoting me, you should have written that as "it's 'your', by the way", with proper quotations and a comma. Next time you, a man who fantasized about beating a woman, sexually assaulting her and forcing her to learn how much lesser she is under the tutelage of an impotent man, tries to smugly correct someone, at least try to make sure you aren't making two mistakes when you do it.
It just makes your comment so godly when you do that. By "godly", of course, I mean impotent.

You'll see what he will do, Ms. Evil, you'll see.
You're impotent god hasn't ever done anything except be impotent. No reason to think he will change now. Also,

Every time you open up your mouth to say he's "impotent", he's giving you another X.
X marks the spot, but he's so impotent he wouldn't know what to do with it.

Are you the voice of god? Did one of the thousands of gods appoint you as his/her/their spokes person?
Well, to be fair, I did forget to include "impotent" as a description, making my comment technically false. I mean, if "impotent" is one of god's key, defining traits and I don't include "impotent", then how can be said to have provided an accurate description? Looter was doing us all a service, ensuring that an impotent god's impotence is accurately portrait as one of his defining characteristics. Thanks to Looter, we cannot, must not and will not forget again god's impotence.

Hello, Ms. Queen of the Devil. I see you are back to your false assumptions of our creator. It's clear that you have made zero steps toward revitalizing your relationship with the Lord. This is to be acclaimed for the entire forum. You are overstepping your boundaries with your pointless and evil opinion. Keep it up, you know who's watching you.
Ooh, good reminder, I forgot to add "impotent" to the list.
