My Poe Challenge

[Belk]

Precisely. Presumably Hans is quite new to the debate. This should explain what everyone means when they say 'flat earth'.

I am thinking Hans is a demonstration of Poe's law in action.

 

[Split Rock]

Demonstrate your knowledge of Poe's Law by placing a winking smiley next to the statements that are not considered basic doctrine today by mainstream Christianity:

1. world-wide flood
2. flat earth
3. no death before the Fall
4. burning bush
5. Jonah and the whale
6. Daniel in the Lion's Den
7. Elijah outrunning Ahab's chariot
8. dispensation theology
9. resurrection from the dead
10. covenant theology
11. creatio ex nihilo
12. geocentrism

Remember -- if you have to ask for clarification, you fail.

Done

I refuse to participate in this "challenge" because I do not acknowledge a man who thinks waters from the Great Flood were sent to Neptune as a warning for visiting would-be rogue angels to be any kind of authority on "basic theology of mainstream Christianity."

As a literature professor, if I told you that Hamlet was written by Frank Stallone and based on the Crimean War, would you take any test I wrote?

Well AV's threads hold some interest for you otherwise why else you post in any of them?!

A man wants to make a laughingstock of himself; it'd be rude not to point and laugh.

Well, I would have to say these threads are truly entertaining! I have never meet anyone like AV in all life, and I don't think I will come across anyone like him ever again in my life.

I think you probably have several times, it's just that in person, they don't have to mask of the internet to hide the face of foolishness.

No, you refuse to participate because you don't recognize basic doctrines when you see them.

 

[AV1611VET]

Because, in my opinion, I'm easy to ridicule -- the "weakest link", so so speak -- and those who have it in for God and/or His Church like to use my posts as a stepping-stone.

I've met people who have lost a loved one; or had a spouse that got saved and is no longer going to the same places and doing the same things as before; or who have outright been cheated by a [professing] Christian -- and you know what?

They sound just like you guys.

 

[Nathan Poe]

No, you refuse to participate because you don't recognize basic doctrines when you see them.

If that were the case, you'd be the 38,492nd person I'd think to ask for clarification.

Couldn't do it without you, AV -- you're a credit to Atheists and skeptics everywhere.

Which makes you what -- the cause of the loss? The cheater? The charlatan?

 

[AV1611VET]

If that were the case, you'd be the 38,492nd person I'd think to ask for clarification.

Then you'd fail 38,492 times.

Remember -- if you have to ask for clarification, you fail.

 

[Nathan Poe]

Then you'd fail 38,492 times.

38,493 times -- I'd count going to you as a double failure.

As the Roman Catholic Church is the biggest denomination, I consider their viewpoint as mainstream.

6. Daniel in the Lion's Den
7. Elijah outrunning Ahab's chariot
8. dispensation theology
9. resurrection from the dead
   
10. covenant theology no idea
11. creatio ex nihilo
12. geocentrism (but they used to advocate this in Galileo's time )

Remember -- if you have to ask for clarification, you fail.

: not accepted by the RCC

used by some creationists, especially by Kent Hovind

accepted by the RCC

 

[super animator]

None of them are accepted by mainstream Christianity, so they all get the smiley.

I am pretty sure that the rescuration of jesus christ is accepted by mainstream christianity... Unless you're being sarcastic or something. Come on I know you're smarter than that.

I think the resurrection of the dead refers to Lazarus, not Jesus. Hopefully the latter should go without saying

 

[AV1611VET]

Actually, I meant all the above:

• Jesus
• Lazarus
• Paul
• widow of Nain's son
• Jonah
• et al

Some pretty little myths you'e got lined up there, AV.

That's quite a list of resurrections. You'd think there'd be more documentation if someone rose from the dead...

Indeed, look at Lazarus -- four Gospels and only John thinks to mention that one (not counting Luke including it as just a parable). You'd think resurrection from the dead would've caused a little more brouhaha.
