The origins of atheism

[Davian]

No, eyewitness testimony is just as commonly excepted as physical evidence

Not in the court systems that I have worked in.

...and yes, I have a world of physical evidence. Shall I begin at the beginning?

The beginning, 6000 years ago? Or can you skip forward to the global flood? Tell us about the big boat that saved all of the animals.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (testimony)

Whose testimony? Were you there? Third-hand anonymous testimony may just get you some laugher from the judge.

I submit the earth as evidence. (physical evidence)

That's the same evidence that was presented for the universe-creating pixies. Have you nothing that points specifically to your particular deity? Nothing?

 

[Davian]

See you at the trial.

Scare tactic fail.

 

[Davian]

Me. I can name me.

Name yourself then. Give us some links so we can look you up, and verify this information.

For your life. The same written testimonies also explained that WE are the walking dead. Did you not know that you were death on borrowed time?

You have yet to provide a compelling reason to consider anything in the Bible as an accurate description of reality.

 

[ScottA]

That is not a satisfactory answer as it does not address my question that I have asked three times. If you don't feel comfortable answering the question, just say so.

I answered your question. I am a contemporary witness that the dead walked the earth, and even you are a witness that the walk the earth still. Are we not all on a course of certain and final death? Has it not already begun?

You do not know what you see, nor do you understand. Time is an illusion, a story written on the walls of eternity.

This is about you. Make your mark, whether it be Ya or Nay, and either remain a mark on the wall, or transcend to the next level.

 

[Davian]

Brilliant. Good luck proving anything more than a generation ago. Goblins then.

Goblins explain as much as gods.

 

[Davian]

Because...you judge yourself, and receive the verdict that you yourself hand down.

In your letters to Santa, do you insist that you have been good?

 

[Davian]

con·tem·po·rar·y
kənˈtempəˌrerē/
adjective

1. 1.
   living or occurring at the same time.
   "the event was recorded by a contemporary historian"
2. 2.
   belonging to or occurring in the present.
   "the tension and complexities of our contemporary society"
   synonyms: modern, up-to-date, up-to-the-minute, fashionable;

So you do have access to a dictionary. I was beginning to think that you didn't.

You have yet to provide a compelling reason to consider anything in the Bible as an accurate description of reality.

The compelling reason...is you.

This is for you. I already have my ticket.

[ScottA]

In your letters to Santa, do you insist that you have been good?

In your will and testament, do you address Santa? Because...you are writing it hear and now.

 

[Davian]

Since we are discussing definitions. I don't think you know the meaning of Time.

(Hint: It's a verb, not a noun)

time
tīm/
noun - the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

My dictionary has it as a noun. Do you feel that redefining words as you see fit is intellectually honest?

 

[Davian]

Ok, obsfucation then.

I think that's all we're gonna get from here on in.

 

[JonFromMinnesota]

I answered your question.

You have not. I will address it again and it is a yes or no question. If the answer is yes, I will ask for a citation.
Can you name one contemporary writing that confirms the claims of Jesus' life?

Are we not all on a course of certain and final death? Has it not already begun?

Sure but what does that have to do with anything? I don't know what happens when we die but neither do you. You pretend to because you cannot comprehend not existing. It's wishful thinking. I don't think wishful thinking is healthy.
If I were to guess what happens when we die i'd say it will be much like before I was born....unconscious and non existent. Which I would be fine with because I won't know it anyway.

You do not know what you see, nor do you understand.

Time is an illusion, a story written on the walls of eternity.

1. In what context are you saying this in? Because I know what I see in terms of reality and I understand lots of things.

2. What does this even mean? You seem to write down whatever comes to your head first. Care to elaborate?

This is about you. Make your mark, whether it be Ya or Nay, and either remain a mark on the wall, or transcend to the next level.

What does this even mean? Again, you're just writing whatever comes to your head without an explanation. It's all just jibberish, nonsense to me. You need to be more clear and concise.

 

[Davian]

I am taking you serious, and answering seriously. It is you who should take what I am saying to heart.

Time is an illusion, and you have it backwards. You didn't just happen here with a choice of what you will and will not believe. You happened here, because this is YOUR time, your time to hit the ground and say Ya or Nay, in determining your own destiny. Whether it be thumbs up or thumbs down, doesn't matter to anyone but you. Do you want to stay within the confines of decay, or transcend to the next level?

I and these many witness, are just sharing our peek over the horizon. Take it or leave it. We've done our part.

Next.

Done your part? All you have done is make some undefined, untestable, and unfalsifiable religious assertions, with a few failed scare tactics thrown in. I see nothing to be concerned about.

 

[ScottA]

The beginning, 6000 years ago? Or can you skip forward to the global flood? Tell us about the big boat that saved all of the animals.

Take your pick. Six thousand, six billion...time is an illusion.

Whose testimony? Were you there? Third-hand anonymous testimony may just get you some laugher from the judge.

I was there, and I am here. Can you say the same?

 

[Cearbhall]

I was there, and I am here. Can you say the same?

Where/when is "there?"

 

[ScottA]

time
tīm/
noun - the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

My dictionary has it as a noun. Do you feel that redefining words as you see fit is intellectually honest?

Have you not done the same thing, while not knowing the truth?

 

[ScottA]

Can you name one contemporary writing that confirms the claims of Jesus' life?

Yes.

 

[David Colin Gould]

Take your pick. Six thousand, six billion...time is an illusion.
I was there, and I am here. Can you say the same?

I certainly can say the same: "I was there, and I am here."

However, making fantastic claims is not the same as providing evidence for fantastic claims ...

 

[David Colin Gould]

Yes.

I have not read the text called "Yes." Can you direct me to it?
