No, I do not. The god that you guys believe in, however, is clearly a deceiver.Do you really think God is?
Show me God's diary. Is it the one entitled "The Gospel According to Mark?" Or the one entitled, "Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians?"Is that a problem? would you know what someone did, if you read his diary?
All Christians are not creationists.I thought you were a Christian
Islam?Well, I guess the answer to that question is because they are fools rejecting the only means to help them avoid hell.
At least Islam gives you the incentive of 72 virgins!Islam?
Why? because they felt like being martyred?They wrote down hearsay that they clearly believed, no one ever claimed they made it up on the spot.
... you are one sick individual and a credit to creationism.
People die for what they believe to be true all the time. This is news to you?Why? because they felt like being martyred?
I developed what theory? embedded age?On the basis of our previous discussions, I was not aware of how early you developed this theory.
I developed what theory? embedded age?
Are you testing me?
When I was asked if anyone else believed embedded age, did you ever read my answer?
But people do not die for something they know is false -- is this news to you?People die for what they believe to be true all the time. This is news to you?
That's no excuse to ask me such a lame question -- but it's certainly your prerogative; I've certainly been asked worse questions.No.
I was not following the C&E board at that time.
The bible writers just transcribed oral tradition, they more likely believed it.But people do not die for something they know is false -- is this news to you?
I'll tell you what -- just for the fun of it, go over to Iraq and write THE GOSPEL OF MOHAMMAD, ACCORDING TO FRENCHY, and do two things:
Let me give you a piece of advice, if you're ... inspired enough to try that:
- Make stuff up that clearly isn't true -- like adding prophecy fulfillment after the fact.
- Make Mohammad out to be Allah.
Save your money, and buy a one-way ticket; you won't be needing the return flight.

For the record, I did not develop this theory.
Did you develop the theory of evolution?
Fair enough -- go over there and transcribe oral tradition.The bible writers just transcribed oral tradition, they more likely believed it.
And thus my point -- the Gospel writers thought it was true.No, but they do die for something they think is true.
Only if it was something I was raised in and fervently believe.Fair enough -- go over there and transcribe oral tradition.
While you're there in Iraq, write stuff that would infuriate the Iraqi, if it was just oral tradition; like the Gospel writers did by writing about Romans doing things they didn't do -- like Pontius Pilate trying Jesus, a Roman soldier piercing Jesus' side, and Roman guards placed at Jesus' tomb, only to have it empty, with the soldiers scratching their heads.
Don't come back now -- unless you're crucified upside-down first, like Peter was.
Sure thing -- now your remark doesn't make sense:I see. You take issue with the word "develop.' I apologize for inadvertently giving you too much credit, and politely ask you to substitute the word "accept."
And for the record, it's not a "theory" -- (I've been called out on this) -- a theory implies it was scientific, and the Creation week had nothing to do with science.On the basis of our previous discussions, I was not aware of how early you accept this theory.
How do you know? People believe all kinds of weird things. People do all kinds of things because of their beliefs, in spite of reality. All of this is easily explained by observed human behavior under various circumstances.But people do not die for something they know is false -- is this news to you?

Like Saul of Tarsus was, when he changed practically overnight from persecutor to persecuted?Only if it was something I was raised in and fervently believe.
