That's a winning argument right there. Basically, you're saying the Jesus prefers his followers to be idiots... sold!
You are correct, I am more attune to the meaning of "absolute" in this context. It is not in fact a superlative, it simply means there is no reference point for comparison. I thought I learned you that already.Originally Posted by greghar
I don't consider you my peer.Originally Posted by greg
I'm sure you see that as a failing of higher education rather than an enlightened perspective on religion. I base that assumption on the exact texts you have used to describe your opinion of being a learned person.Originally Posted by gregory
Please demonstrate my will to comply with society's norms. Also, contrary to my youth, I no longer hunt women with my penis. I'd prefer it to happen as a situational convenience and temptation.Originally Posted by McGrugher
You should probably familiarize yourself with the definition of religion, here I'll put it in a spoiler:Originally Posted by gleebglob

Definition of RELIGION
1a - the state of a religious, a nun in her 20th year of religion
1b (1) - the service and worship of God or the supernatural
1b (2) - commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
2 - a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
No, you're not right. I'm equally discriminatory against all belief systems, I only have more opportunities to speak against the posts of Protestant Christians since the are more pervasive with their beliefs, an inherent flaw based on the concept of needing to witness. It's also humorous that you don't see the irony in how easy and matter-of-fact you will denounce any other religion besides your own, but feel it must be te work of Satan that anyone denounces your faith.Originally Posted by highgreghar
Certainly, it did get interesting. However, I'm getting a keen sensation that this is mostly a trolling comment. At its best, it would still fall short of a Kindergartener's demonstration of reason and an understanding o the laws of physics and biological and chemical processes. If you actually believe any of those things, your state of mental decay is more severe than I originally assumed. Someone would have to be raised on a commune with a Clockwork Orange style education in order to sincerely spew this. If I were naive enough to believe there could not exist someone so incredibly stupid, I would have resorted to only posting some sarcastic remark instead.Originally Posted by gharglered
Also, atheism would be the opposite of religion, please refer to the definition of religion I have conveniently provided.
You need to make up your mind on "education" and scholarly discovery. You're on polar opposite ends of the spectrum with this one.Originally Posted by greghareducation
I just want to state for the record that it was you, not I, who labeled your cult members as sheep.Originally Posted by grejus
Simply put, the bible's main fault is that it does not foresee events in the future. Thus, there is no explicit decree on many of the newer age difficulties. Therefore, religious scholars attempt to extrapolate or interpolate the bible's stance on issues inconceivable to ancient peoples. With that, theft of intellectual property is still theft.Originally Posted by greghar
Most interesting about that, though, is that so much of the bible is plagiarized from earlier tales, both oral and recorded. That makes much of the bible an act of intellectual property theft in and of itself.
Conclusion
You are really quite worked up over this. I'm not complaining, I found it all very entertaining. I almost ignored it based on the "too long; didn't read" principle, but it was so long that I was certain I'd find some gems in there. You did not disappoint.
