2923: The Case for Christ w/ Kyle Thompson

[Keith]

As if SpareBen wanted to talk WITH us as opposed to TO us...

I don't think he wants me in this conversation at all, actually.

Right -- that's a whole other question that people can answer personally for themselves (but not impose on others)

what did the people who were actually a part of conversation think about what Jesus said?[/I]

Your bible.org link was about Jesus being God's son, not being God. Everything in the other link can be disproved. I've studied this stuff for years. Re semantics, try another case of this argument:
if Keith said you absolutely did claim to be pro-life & someone presented evidence of what other people in the conversation thought you meant, would you want someone questioning Keith's claim?

Not imposing anything - this sprung from Keith making fun of something ridiculous and my desire for some of you to see that it might not be quite so ridiculous.

Thousands of religions throughout human history using the same logic to claim that their religion is the right one lol Interesting that the more that science learns about the natural world the less grandiose the miracles become.

Ben, what happened to you being shown that your link to Jesus being mentioned outside of the bible was fake? Why do religious people think we're going to forget our questions aren't answered? You brought it up. I assume when religious people skip over a wrinkle it's deliberate, but maybe it's not?


You're doing as much studying as the dude in The Case for Christ.

Hugs for the one yes vote

I didn't skip over it. I acquiesced to Chemda's point that I'm not an archaeologist. But the disproving link was already addressed in my initial wikipedia link. I'm assuming you lack the interest or patience to read either of the links so what's the point in arguing?

[Keith]

Oh I already said there's no point in arguing. I'm just trying to see if you know you're not taking anyone's points in and that you're really just talking and not discussing.

I know that's what I'm doing. I'm not debating The Case for Christ. I'm simply stating I checked it out, and, if anyone is curious, it's fucking ridiculous, with quotes such as: "People wouldn't be willing to die for something that wasn't real," which somehow really moved you. You, however, like to pretend you're open for a discussion, but it's clear to us that you're not. I was trying to learn if you recognized that.

You're not open at all.

My dad thinks he's open too, you know what I mean? Of course youse aren't. C'mon naw...

Peace and love.
