How are the edited logs of Mathew, Mark, Luke or John, Peter and Paul from 2,000 years ago, a bunch of weirdos in a desert, any more important, relevant, awe inspiring, informative, educational, morally correct, philosophical or interesting, than the edited troll logs of F2 from 3 years ago?
Its all just words on a screen, right? It’s all just words carved into a stone in the desert, right?

20 March, 2018 at 9:03 pm #1090077In answer to Sceps above post directed at me.
I have re-read the whole thread and I don’t see any posts from me where I think I added or inflamed any poisonous atmosphere. I have not been rude to anyone ‘about’ their faith nor have I belittled anyone. I became angry when you described me as an ignorant character, as I was posting as a non believer and as you didn’t specifically name people I automatically fall into that category, so in fact you did infer I was ignorant and a ‘character’…..
I wasn’t ‘boiling up’ earlier I was trying to warn you as a friend that you were coming across as ‘ a snotty know all’ to which you replied that you were a snotty know it all, I presume in Jest.
”Fortunately you had the strength of character to apologise later, and I know that you have a tolerant approach to a faith in which you have no belief.”
I haven’t apologised to anyone actually, you presume to tell Nemesis how to handle herself, I’m sure there is no need as it is perfectly obvious Nem can speak for herself ( not helping with the arrogant and patronising tone IMO )
”But this thread has been characterised by really ignorant behaviour in a different way.” Including your own behaviour in some parts.
I’m not saying that some posters haven’t been scathing or rude about your religion, but just as you try to point out that not all ‘believers’ are blithering idiots, not all non believers are dismissive and rude.
I do find it odd now that Easter has suddenly been mentioned ! Its almost as if you are saying the subject should not now be discussed as its a very sacred time for Christians. I completely understand that its a special time for some, but you were happy to discuss it yesterday ? !
I’ll be perfectly honest, Easter didn’t cross my mind for 1 second and I think if you are honest with yourself it didn’t cross your mind, with regards to this debate, until today, nor anyone else posting on this thread, for that matter, or why has it only just been mentioned ? Easter means nothing to me at all, its never been celebrated in anyway shape or form in my family and I don’t ‘do’ chocolate. I think adding it in as a sort of ‘telling off’ was a bit childish on your part, but hey… no point in sweating the small stuff……
As I said earlier , the Topic of this debate will never be resolved and therefore moot, so I’m saying no more on it or responding to anymore posts, good or bad.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your ‘Easter’ in which ever way you celebrate it…
20 March, 2018 at 10:08 pm #1090091I doubt there will be proof either way as to whether God exists in our lifetime
If the Abrahamic god existed it would be trivially easy to prove.
If god interacted whith the physical universe in anyway, we could detect and study the interaction and conclude that no known force could have caused the interaction other than outside interference.
No such interactions have ever been recorded.
So we must conclude that either god doesn’t exist, or that it doesn’t interact with the universe, in which case it might as well not exist.
