    OK so the tide finally turns for cats. Thanks, great debate! Btw, re: loyalty, it's good to have a loyal pet, l agree, but if it poops in a tray or worse, just anywhere (l'm looking at you, dog population) l don't require much loyalty, just a warm bottom , like in winter when l fed my cat l...

    Evolution is Unscientific

    For the 2nd or 3rd time: Also, again: Quote from post #63: I do not wish to speak to you any further. You are wasting my time, whether you agree with me or disagree, your opinions are baseless. Please, leave me alone.

    Well, l suppose most domesticated cats would be female. Because a male cat would have to be neutered otherwise it would scratch people and urinate regularly to mark its territory ... in the owner's house. As for dogs, l don't know what gender predominates but let's say you're right, they are...

    Evolution is Unscientific

    OK l see nobody here is going to answer the OP with evidence of gene mutation leading to evolutionary progress. Please admit you blindly believe in evolution by gene mutation and when challenged you get angry. Alternatively, please demonstrate (as l have continually been asking throughout this...

    Evolution is Unscientific

    I have already said: no link hurling. Moreover, if you actually understood the content, you'd realise it is nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

    Evolution is Unscientific

    That is not the subject of this thread. First please answer the subject of this thread. Appeal to Authority is a logical fallacy. I said in the OP: no logical fallacies. You are literally appealing to authorities and pinning the truth of the matter on the opinions of relative celebrities. Zeus...

    I honestly don't get the bizarre logical fallacy references that this other person is making and l do not wish to ever engage him, l don't even mean that in a hurt or offensive way, l'm just flatly saying that l have no idea what is going on with that person and l'm happy to just walk away. I...

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    Ok see you later, i may need another self imposed exile soon. I don't want to develop deity complex - which happens when talking about religion too long. In the meanwhile if you want to follow my pointer and look into our eschatology you'll see what l mean about the person foretold to come, who...

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    Please read what l wrote, it's all in there. Peace. For one thing, Jesus didn't lie. He could have done, to save his life. But he didn't. Nowhere did l say that. Nor is it our beliefs. Nor would l have an issue with it if it were our beliefs.

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    I have already given my answer and yes l have read it. And no l'm not talking about bloodying someone's face. Peace.

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    I guess the deeper question Thomas is aiming at is: If Jesus let the deus ex machina run its course, why didn't he make it clear what really happened? Well, as l say: we believe the true Nazarene tradition continued until Paulinism stamped it out. But still, it's a bit cruel to let...

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    As already stated: I then also proceed to mention Tulpas which is something Thomas personally posted about elsehwere. The point being: you can accept that a face can be transfigured. Thomas can also appreciate a Tulpa. So why not baddie gets transfigured? Try to figure out how your...

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    Ok l think this is at the heart of your contention. Here's a synopsis of the Islamic version of events: 1. Jesus upset people so they wanted him killed 2. They eventually lynched him but they didn't ... the person lynched was actually a substitute whose face was transfigured to resemble...

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    Written 116 CE, with no isnaad (corroborated chain of narration) by an historian already familiar with Christianity via an established community in Rome. Better than nothing though.

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    Thank you. I was really just addressing Thomas on his terms i.e. regarding his emotional state but am grateful for your input too. I understand there are bodies of work on this, but all l really care for is the here and now seeing as my comments are in passing and my presence here, and indeed...

    Thoughts on Incarnation

    Let me just say: 1. The "Moslem" variant is on the face of it no issue but as you know, it is often used by white supremacists, neo-nazis and K.T. romanticisers to signal that one isn't well disposed to Muslims. This is common knowledge, if you didn't know it before then please understand the...

    [EDITED to be less emotional] Because interpersonal abuse and logical fallacies would be barred, meanness and intellectual dishonesty would be barred. Therefore it would be a clean contest of ideas. As such it cannot possibly be taken personally I am not upset at losing an argument. I adapt. I...

    The "Dreamtime" in a Nutshell

    I try to distance myself from stereotyping ancient cultures in recently colonised lands as being privy to special wisdom, that is just colonialism in a roundabout way [edit: l mean, it is patronising when a trust fund brat does this, not that anybody here is like that, l'm just saying] but I...

    I reproduce here a defence of that prophet (peace be upon him) by a commenter l presume to be of Judaic background: https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/lots-daughters-midrash-and-aggadah Scroll down to the comment by "Pinto" (l have edited out the mention of that prophet's name as l don't...

    Your least favorite scripture passage

    From what l gather it is not condemned in the Bible. Nor is it even possible. A man literally blind drunk, to be able to sexually perform? Twice? And each time, to initiate a successful pregnancy? It doesn't seem fact to begin with, so l personally wouldn't try to justify it post fact. But yeah...
