What? You think you know me? Who the bloody hell do you think you are, pal? You're going to come on here and slander me like this? Based on what? What I don't know? You're a fool! You think I don't know what's out there? Even more, you think that YOU know what's out there, and I'm naive and...

Oh my God, does anyone actually listen to what others say, or do they just wait for their turn to talk? My ENTIRE PREMISE was that there are similiarities between religions due to the innate similarity between human beings, but that does not mean that all religions have a common source...

What? Are you surprised that the Islamic states in the Middle East don't remember it this way?:rolleyes: The Holocaust is remembered as an attempt to destroy the Jews because it was an attempt to destroy the Jews. The word Holocaust means "destruction by fire," yeah? It refers to the burning...

Ummm............. I agree? :confused:

and then ask them what they think about ritual human sacrifice. They will say that it's wrong. Ask them if Jesus was the son of God. They will say that he is. Ask them if we should listen to what Jesus said. They will say that we should. Ask them if we should listen to what Buddha said. They...

Tell me, did you get that axe ground right down to the handle, Saltmeister? I don't think you've been paying attention to the conversation, because your reply is completely off-topic. The point of contention is that, in my opinion, all scripture could not have been inspired by God. My...

Ummm, what are you basing this on, Wil? I've been a member of Presbyterian, Baptist, Charasmatic Anglican, Alliance, and non-denominational churches, and the beliefs are all basically the same: one God, Jesus as saviour, Bible as scripture, etc. Do the theological differences between...

The baseline about teachers in Christianity is that you can't judge them by what they say, and that's contrary to what I'm saying? I don't get it; can you rephrase, please?

Your analogy is falling short. The context is that every religion, developing in every location and at every time, all share a common source. Your analogy explains how one individual will influence people who come after them, sort of like how original Christianity influenced a multitude of...

Mmmmmm.... fresh corn, nice and watered-down, just the way you like it, Wil ;) Your analogy doesn't really do justice to your point. If it did, that teacher should have been able to inspire students that they never taught, or even spoke to. You're treading a very precarious line with this...

I couldn't disagree more. Saying that there are similarities between Hinduism and Christianity is like saying there are similarities between corn and soup because you can eat both of them. The similarities between Christianity and other non-Judaic religions exist because the concept of any...

Get your facts straight, eh.

It's a good day when my Sunfire sounds like a chariot; usually, it sounds more like the grunting of an ox after it's been kicked in the testicles. Not that I've ever kicked an ox in the testicles... Are the ten kings not the hands of man? Yes, they are not. The ten kings are ten kings...

Or perhaps you don't like having your ideas put to the test? If your interpretation is true, it will hold up under fire. But expecting people to accept what you say simply because you are saying it as a Christian goes against the fundamental wisdom of Christian beliefs, doesn't it? Are we...

From a Christian point of view, if there are differing theories as to whether hell exists now or after judgment, they are unscriptural. Jesus speaks of Hell as a place of destruction. The Lake of Fire, which is empty until the end, is that place of final destruction; I think the descriptions in...

Wow, aren't we special, then? Enlightened, and civilized, and full to the brim with all the self-righteousness that Jesus despised... The Christian west? There's no such thing, and if you believe there is than I think you should pull your head out of the clouds and take a good, long look at...

Is it the case that this teacher wished to be able to stand in front of the class and pray in front of the other students? Or is it the case that this teacher is being compelled to hide her faith needlessly? There is a big difference. There is nothing hypocritical about wanting to be able to...

There's a difference between human life and civilization. Until further archaeological discovery is made, civilization did in fact begin in Mesopotamia around 3500bce.

I'm sure that God is very happy that you love your wife, seeing as how your wife is one of his children and all. In fact, one of the most concrete ways that a man can show love for God is by loving his wife, isn't it?

I think that would be the goal of every loving husband, which is precisely my point: such a thing is a goal to be achieved over time, and not something stumbled into by a newlywed. That claim is much too simplistic for a wise old man to have made. Thus, the likelihood is that either Mr. Tutt is...
