Public capitol punishment was more applicable in the smaller world where people weren't being put to death every day. In today's world, if it existed, one could go on a tour and see a hundred of them before the years out. No, it's best left to the confines of relevant witnesses and such.

:doh: Because of the reason for not accepting it For the same reason refusing to bake a cake for a homosexual marriage is allegedly discrimination. Note the double standard, and note it well, because therein lies the stupidity of society.

Genocide ensured permanent victory in ancient times. Of course, calling it 'genocide' and not simply just taking out tribes is a cheap way to demonize it further. Look at the boundless determination you have to make everything religious seem as horrible as possible.

L :D L We aren't following the biblical command that men be the head of women, that's why this facade continues on as it is.

What was wrong with God's command? It's ancient warfare, Broseph. Deal with it. They killed the women and children to keep future revenge or uprising, and the livestock to make it known it wasn't about wealth.

I think the most philosophical part of a man comes out in awaiting their death. They arrange their purest thoughts before the end, so that they may die in settled conclusion. It comes at some point for the condemned, but a lot sooner for martyrs who already conceive their conclusion well...

It's easy to deny anything after enough time goes by, and that's exactly what people of this modern age do.

Unless you own a chicken sandwich franchise, no doubt. Or actually hold to a religious affiliation instead of just calling yourself part of one.

Needing some grand forensic evidence is something you all created to deny Christianity. Thus, you render any other sort of evidence null, and say we have none. The truth is that, simply put, atheists put up a wall of ignorance, not reason.

If it were some random cult that waited 4000 years to drink some kool aid, then sure, being older means nothing. But it's not, and because of that and the 2000 years of 'peer review', since you want to mention that as well, it stands pretty firm. When atheists review anything of it, it...

There aren't enough of these tactical units to take on an entire armed republic. Most of the military, whether you choose to accept it or not, are kids. Nothing new there, it's been that way since the beginning of time. The military, even it's grand acts in the past, had to send the very same...

Christianity is founded on a 4000 year history of kings, war, and exodus. You're far better off talking about Judaism or Islam rather then some random cult.

You're comparing the finale of a 4000 year history to a sheep cult who drunk some kool-aid. That's all I need to know, and that's why, again, I'm ignoring the ignorance for what it is.

I'm just going to ignore that argument for the stupidity that it is.

No, that's them simply seeing their mission as greater then themselves, and willing to face even that which they do not want. Did the Founding Fathers want to die? No, they didn't- they thought nonetheless that their mission was greater then themselves, and knew the consequence likely to...

That's just a rank cop out, discrimination rear's it's head openly here. I bet you if the principal didn't allow the selling of Burger King and their gay pride burgers the very same people who sit there and say as you say would be lining up from DC to California shouting discrimination...

They didn't want to be martyred. There is no greater reward for simply seeking chastisement, nor does any sane man actually want to endure it. There's a monumental difference in their treason among the Jews and Romans, and some cult out in the boondocks drinking kool aid. You may as well...

It wasn't the apostle's intent to be martyred. If they could have gotten away from it, they would have. In fact, they even teach that one shouldn't go looking to be one. But they were entrusted with Christianity, and are in fact the reason for Christianity. It was their mission to deploy it. And...

That doesn't seem very logical. The Bible states an extraordinary amount of chastisement that really shouldn't even be considered survivable period, let alone a crucifixion afterward. It seems more likely that they were trying to quickly kill him but his constitution was too great, and out of...

The apostles, after having witnessed these things, were all fearlessly martyred with a perfect faith. They could have simply disappeared, but they went and wrote their testimony, spreading them around and thereby signing their death warrants. They themselves are good reason to believe what...
