You are plagiarizing. We're not talking about the quoting here, although you do need a lesson in that, but I have run several of your posts through my university's system, and all of them have come up with strong plagiarizing warnings. You took a chunk of text written by someone else, and then...

I see exasperated comments, due to a merry-go-round argument; not insulting remarks. It is difficult to participate in a debate in which one person uses vacuous pedantry as a way of communicating.

Just wondering; who mocked God? I've searched through posts, but I can't seem to find the one you're referring to. If you could direct us to that then it might be nice. Otherwise, it just looks like a bit of a random outburst. Agreeing with homosexuality is not promoting homosexuality, which...

All that he does is discuss Christians, so of course he's going to mention Christ. There are old writings discussing Allah, Zeus, Ra, and Thor. Does this mean that they're real?

Wow. You've posted a wall of text from a religious website. That must mean that you're correct. :thumbsup:

"Ra is the ancient Egyptian sun god. By the Fifth Dynasty he had become a major deity in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the midday sun." Does that mean that Ra exists?

Wow! He says "Christ"! Writing a name means proof of existence! That must mean that Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Frodo all exist, too! By your logic, that would mean that every other god anyone has ever believed in also existed, simply because someone has mentioned their names in passing...

He mentions that Christians follow Christ. He does not, however, state that Christ exists. Sorry, but after watching this go back and forth, my mind is starting to frazzle. What do you not understand about the above statement? :doh: The fact that he mentions Christ in reference to what...

I think you've misunderstood what I'm saying. You're telling me how to read a book - I'm stating that I know how to read a book, as that is my subject. Literature being the key word, PhD backing up the evidence that I know how to read it. If we were speaking of medicine, and I stated that you...

I'm a Literature PhD student, I know how to study a book. The statement is still wrong. It was stated that he would be called Immanuel. He was called Jesus. So you're telling me that it's some kind of metaphor, right? If so, that is only -your- interpretation of it. That does not mean that it...

Haha! I'm going to go with the latter idea! He does come across as a bit stroppy (knocking over all of those tables in the temple, psht), so I wouldn't put it past him!

Okay, now you're simply interpreting what you wish to hear, when it comes to the virgin terminology. Is Jesus ever directly called Immanuel? What about Damascus? What about the Nile? What about circumcised people? Please, don't act as though I know nothing about the bible. My attitude on...

As I have already stated, I'm not here to list things. However, for the sake of debate, I'll give you a link to a few. I mean, everyone else seems to be copy and pasting things... Failed Prophecies http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Failed_biblical_prophecies Just a few there, for you.

Hilarious. While I was in uni this morning, I ran this through our system's plagiarism checker, and everything is either copied directly from online sources, or simply rephrased by the OP. If the OP handed this in as a paper, he would receive a huge (P) on the top of the page, and would be...

First of all, no, I did not have a predetermined view before I looked at the bible. Each time I read it, it seems a little more untrue (to put it mildly). The bible has been regarded as true over centuries past, because we were more primitive human beings. As I said earlier - do you believe...

Ohh, I see. So that's a specific necessity, is it? The thing is, no one with any credibility outside of theology actually believes that anything was predicted 500 years in advance...

Yes, for the most part Disney films ARE family friendly. However, just because he's family friendly, doesn't mean that he wasn't anti-semitic and racist. It's simply stating the truth - those messages are there. I mean, I like Edith Wharton's books, and I've written a thesis on them - but she...

Goodness me, you're getting very defensive over this. I was simply making a statement. If you disagree with me so vehemently, then you don't have to read my comments. I'm simply stating that Disney wasn't a man with wonderful values - he was anti-semitic and racist. Or, at the very least, that's...

Alright, so if one thing is correctly 'predicted', then it means that the bible must be divinely inspired and completely true? Even with the rest of its flaws? In about 2010 I said that the country was going to end up drowned in debt, and that unemployment cases would get worse, the media and...

Do you just make posts without reading what I've written? Let me paste my post here, as it seems you understand things when they're copy and pasted: "I'm not close-minded at all, no. The same would go for various other prophecies - I've been through most of them all before, so I'm certainly...
