Your point wasn't confirmed in the slightest. There was a consensus of one group, a group that did what they could to control their narrative. Anyone who questioned their narrative was ridiculed and censored. Besides, throughout history we have had a scientific consensus on a matter only to...

Self-quarantining, yes. Forcing people to stay home together? Not so much.

In my experience? Staying home if you feel ill. I do not have studies to prove it, just my experience. My job excused any employee who called in sick simply because they didn't want Covid to spread. Our company had 400 employees. 7 had Covid in the first year. I left that job a year ago...

I'm convinced that I don't belong in the United States. I am a hugger. Always have been. It has rubbed off on my family as well. Most of my family has been accustomed to a handshake at most. When I was a teenager we moved to a city outside of Chicago. The city had a large latino...

When my entire family came down with Covid, many people sent up prayers. An atheist friend dropped off homemade chicken soup. I appreciated both. My daughter (who has special needs) was in the hospital, an atheist friend dropped off snacks, reading material, hand sanitizer, toiletries, etc...

Being constantly told not to question the science? I can't think of anything more anti-science. That is what has happened in the US when it comes to any "science" pushed by the Democrat party. I believe that politics of any kind mixed with science is probably going to end up with bad science...

The most offensive documentary in the United States is basically Matt Walsh going around the world asking people what a woman is. Never thought I'd see the day that so many people were offended by such a basic question.

Study the history of Carnival and how it ties into Lent and Easter. It's disturbing.

Actually the Guatemalan government, until recently, was trying to extinguish the Mayan people. Mass graves have been found of thousands of Mayans, men women and children who the government executed. This went on from 1960 to 1996. How comfortable are you about the Guatemalan government not...

Speaking of concrete, still looking for that verse where the apostles or Jesus decreed that Sunday was now the Lord's Day. You would think it would have caused quite a stir amongst the Jews. Breaking bread on a Sunday doesn't make a day into a holy day.

Concrete? Your definition of concrete changes drastically based on if you agree with it or not. But here are some examples: Christmas In the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 edition, under the heading “Christmas,” you will find: “Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. …...

'It is better to drown than to accept being wrong" -Forum Proverb-

I feel your pain.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe that you agreed with a point I made awhile back (different thread). Not one government ever followed the Bible. Governments use distorted religion (amongst many other things) in order to get mass approval for persecution of others. Mankind doesn't...

Wow! One thing we humans are good at is pointing out that there is a hole in the boat on the other person's side. We're still sinking no matter how many fingers get pointed.

Because I study history. Politics mixed with religion brings blood shedding. Just look at what happened to Catholics in the British monarchy when Henry VIII decided to kick out the Catholic Church? A LOT of Catholics were starved, killed, and persecuted. Just because a king wanted to be able...

But the Mayan religion existed and still exists with or without political backing. Millions still exist. I have met many Native American tribes (and belong to one) and they didn't have a large church to keep their beliefs going. But their religions are still going. Not sure what human...

Political backing? The marriage of politics and religion to preserve religion? I'm beginning to feel sick. The atheist in me just shuddered.

I was grabbing whatever fragments weren't authored by the Catholic Church. So yes, that particular codex was stored by the Catholic Church. Just not written by them. My bad I didn't realize that Father O'Callaghan and C. H. Roberts's discoveries of the New Testament were now considered...

I didn't say I wasn't enamored with how He went about it. I am just making the point that without the Catholic Church, the Bible would have survived. I made that point. Historians have made that point. My examples easily refute this. Saying that they don't is simply an opinion. I can start...
