A nihilist who cares.
The grown-up thing to do would be to admit you are arguing a logical fallacy.What's up with this?
I'm agreeing with you: Charles Martel was not a true Scotsman.

That you pulled out of thin air?The grown-up thing to do would be to admit you are arguing a logical fallacy.
Yes, as I said, childish.That you pulled out of thin air?
I'll pass.
Well if the fact that I don't accept Charlemagne as a brother in Christ makes me childish, then consider me childish.Yes, as I said, childish.

I've been expected by academia to accept Hitler as a brother in Christ because he wore a belt buckle that said GOTT MIT UNS on it.
If that article of clothing made Hitler a Christian, then does using coins that say IN GOD WE TRUST make you one?
Do you live in a country that has a cross on its flag; or mentions God in its national anthem?I dont use coins that say "In god we trust".
Do you live in a country that has a cross on its flag; or mentions God in its national anthem?
If so, does that make you a Christian?
If you won't accept yourself as a Christian, don't expect me to accept Charlemagne as one.
Don't know, don't care, don't care to know.Did Charlemange consider himself a christian?
Don't know, don't care, don't care to know.
My guess though is that he probably did.

I'm not claiming things aren't in the bible, you did that. You don't like being shown to be wrong, do you Genghis?So's this:
Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
No matter what you claim.
Let's try this again, chief.Then, who are you to judge his faith?
What did I claim wasn't in the Bible?I'm not claiming things aren't in the bible, you did that.
Not playing your arab phone game. You know what you said and I showed your error.What did I claim wasn't in the Bible?
Indeed. Forced conversion has been a blunt tool used by Christianity for nearly its entire history.
Let's try this again, chief.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The Bible judges him ... not I.
And besides, if academia uses him as a poster child for Christianity, I usually automatically get suspicious and have to compare him to Scripture to see if it's true or not.

Are you saying academia doesn't bring up Charlemagne as an example of a Christian man?We aren't talking academia.
So tradition brings up Charlemagne as a Christian man?Mr Laurier said:We are talking tradition.
And let me guess ... who should answer the call, but Charlemagne and his band of born-again Christians ... right?Mr Laurier said:Devout peasants who can neither read nor write, asking the saints to intercede for them.
I've seen Hitler listed among saints too. And you wonder why I'm against academia?Mr Laurier said:And listing Charlemagne among those saints.
And let me guess: Jesus answered their prayers?Mr Laurier said:Hired mercenaries who pray to Jesus to help them be like Charlemagne.
Lest Mr Martel shut them down?Mr Laurier said:And country churches with Charlemagne's banner flying from their bell tower.
Have I ever mentioned that the Antichrist will come from Europe?Mr Laurier said:French right wingers through the 20th century, embracing Charlemagne as the ideal french christian.
So let me get this straight:Mr Laurier said:All very far from academia.
Is anything an entity?”Academia” is not an entity ...
The bible is not an entity ...
Is anything an entity?
You know? like a corporate entity or such?
Fine ... academia was never alive then.The only agents that can make value judgements are living things.
