You lie when you say that you want to see evidence. You don't. There is no evidence that you do. Just a crusade against what you apparently still fear may be true. Very sad.
I'm not discussing anything here, Zolace, I'm just making a point that I made long ago. Your lies have been exposed; the man behind the curtain is naked. But you're just too stupid to admit it. Continue your childish rants if it somehow makes your forget how stupid you are, but there is really no point. You are lying, and everyone but you knows it. Yours are not Christian beliefs, but the ravings of a lunatic. Why don't you do REAL Christians a huge favor and shut up and crawl back under a rock. You give REAL Christians a bad name. |

This is primarily the fault of the Republicans of the early 90s, btw. They're the ones that initiated this modern segregation of social interaction along party lines. The Democrats have embraced what they began, and the nation loses as a result.
I don't know where you are but I'm right in the middle of the country, and I see this every single day. This is what scares me half to death about the GOP and what makes me tend to agree with Pelosi - at this point, there's no expectation that a Republican will go to the state capitol or DC and accomplish anything, there is only the expectation that a person will get elected in order to "take a stand." |

I don't think it's dementia. She's always been an idiot. I'm not saying the Republicans don't engage in similar inflamed rhetoric, but I have to laugh when Democrats use language like this...Obama included...then say they wonder why Republicans won't work with them.
You don't seriously think that GOP obstructionism really has anything to do with fiery rhetoric on comedy talk shows, do you? Actually it does. When the parties intermingle socially more gets done. When they stand on their own side and lob rhetorical bombs at each other, less gets done. Seeing the other party as an enemy makes you, and them, less willing to work together on issues. It becomes a game of one upmanship and "beating" the other guys rather than, you know, running the country responsibly. The GOP is crippled by ideology at this point. The moderate, pragmatic wing of the party is almost nonexistent because everyone is terrified of being primaried from the far right. Thus there is absolutely no room for compromise or cooperation. |

Personal service work is not for the whiny ones, escorts, bartenders and waitresses included, amongst many others.Whiners don't last long in any service trade.
I remember when I was 13 and I ran away from home. Six months later I was living with someone twice my age, who told me I was loved, then shot me full of heroin and made me wait tables until I was too sore to walk. Dipshit... |

Once again I am, as a father, a husband, a brother, and a son, absolutely disgusted and terrified by the things that apparently some guys find tolerable.
I am, as a father, a husband, an uncle, a brother, and a son, absolutely amazed at the level of stupidity and naiveté continuing to be exhibited by young ladies in situations where their instincts should tell them to have their guard and radar up and functioning. Honestly, just about all of them understand what it's like to fear violation. I think this is really why so many go to such great lengths to excuse this sort of thing when it happens. He admits that forcing women to have sex with him is the only way in which he can get laid. Au contraire. There is no fun in forced sex. All that crying, screaming and physical restraints. I just pay cash to get laid. Female escorts bring no emotional baggage to the table, or bed as the case may be; I don't have to listen to their problems, they listen to mine; and best of all, they can give most porn stars a run for their money in the sack. And all I have to do is give up a few hundred bucks. Not a bad investment, right? Yeah, cause all those women who are "escorts"... they went into the sex trade willingly, eyes wide open. It is nice to know that the ones you congregate with don't cry in front of you. That's the nice thing about emotional baggage for a sex worker: if the Johns don't see it, it doesn't exist. Rather limited, puritanical perspective you have going there. Do you ever dine out or go out for drinks? Do you think all waitresses and bartenders went into their trade willingly? It's a job. They too are service workers and are paid well (at least when I tip them) to keep their emotional baggage away from their work and me. The Puritanical worldview is the one that condemns sex work as fundamentally sexually immoral. I do no such thing. But I do despise you for taking advantage of emotionally badly-damaged young people. You do what ISIL does, congratulations. |

At Berkeley, Karasek said she remained worried that such ambiguity could be used to further hurt survivors and that requiring verbal consent would make it easier to “avoid the ‘he said, she said’ that college administrators try to make rape cases out to be.”
An estimated one in five women is sexually assaulted during college. Emma Sulkowicz says she was raped in her own bed. Photograph: Kristina Budelis for Guardian US Opinion We’ve come a long way in the last four decades on sexual assault, but this necessary shift to “yes means yes” will not be an easy one. (Let’s also not forget that it was just four years ago when male students from Yale University were caught on tape chanting “No means yes, yes means anal.”)
The feminist movement of the 70s shined a light on “date rape” – the most common kind of sexual assault that once went ignored is now widely-understood to be a pervasive problem. Twenty-one years ago, marital rape was still legal in some states, but now legislation decries the idea that marriage equals constant consent. Today, politicians and activists alike increasingly recognize that everything we did before is simply not enough: despite these shifts in policy and public perception, rape is still far too common – approximately one out of every five women is sexually assaulted in college.
And that’s just what’s reported, according to the White House. That’s just in America. That’s just in college.
When I spoke to Sulkowicz about her unofficial senior project – she calls it Mattress Performance: Carry That Weight – the brave 21-year-old said something I think most people who care about the issue of violence against women can relate to. “It’s going to be an endurance piece,” she said. In some ways, battling rape always has been.
so they are making a science out of saying yes or no to sex.
If people were to actually go along with this, it would finally legislate abstention. And probably no sex after marriage either. It's an impossible standard in the real world. Only an idiot would vote for it, so it has a reasonable chance to pass in California. Women might be forced into actually having a rational conversation about sex. Or probably not, and vibrator stores would be swarmed. I'm thinking there is no guy on the planet, who is about to get some nooky, that will stop and say "hey honey, I need your permission to have sex. You ok with that?" It sort of spoils the mood, especially the part where you get her to sign the preprinted form letter. |

I think the real problem is that there is no evidence that you are really interested in evidence on the subject.Or on any subject you disagree with - like global warming.
This is not a disagreement. I'm just pointing out the facts. My position on the issue of the existence of your "god" is not a matter of opinion. Only in your delusional mind do things exist just because you want them to. If your fairy tale god really did exist, then my opinion wouldn't matter, would it? Sorry Rigon, you have not provided any evidence that you are sincere. Ball is in your court there.Me,Sana ,BADecker give you all the answers you need ,quoted as well...but you still consider me a lair. Your religious beliefs are nothing but lies, and you are a liar, and there is not enough bullshit on the planet to bury it. I'm not sure what you think you are accomplishing by continuing your childish crusade, but what you are proving is that you're simply too stupid to figure it out. Move on.....? Good idea. Why don't you just shut up and move on? You've been at this for how many years now.....? |

What happened?You not quite sure of your convictions? Having trouble reconciling truth and fiction?It happens to the best of us.It's not their fault. They didn't know they were lying to you.The important part is knowing and understanding the truth. You can forgive later.
Did he have some source when he wrote it, or did he just decide to write down a lie? 400 years isn't that far ahead for a historian if you have links, or a link where you get your line of thinking and i have time i'll check it out, but the Bible which was written down by serious men. Even if it didn't have secular writings back everything up, its still something i'll always consider far above a story of santa. It's not like I didn't notice the person was born in 395AD. No hard feelings......and too bad...There is more historical substance for Santa Claus. To bad your religious bullshit gets in your way. |

It has been recorded that Herod did things we would consider unbelievable: The non-Christian writer is Macrobius (A.D. 395-423). Here is his comment,
When he [emperor Augustus] heard that among the boys in Syria under two years old whom Herod, king of the Jews, had ordered to kill, his own son was also killed, he said: it is better to be Herod's pig, than his son."
but i'm sure your right that some things in the Bible wouldn't show up in secular writings. If you wish to make that absolute truth that it never happened that's your option
Why do you post about something someone wrote who was born about 400 years after ? Would that be Herod Agrippa, or Herod Antipas.... or would YOU even know the difference? Regardless... No Herod in RECORDED HISTORY ever ordered murdering children ( other than His own!) |

Born of a virgin in a stable/cave on the winter solstice (visited by Noblemen bearing gifts) ; died/crucified on a cross on the Spring Equinox; baptized in water; 12 disciples; healed the sick/made blind men see; ascended into Heaven and promised to return someday.....
Straight out of pagan mythology.
Take another look....
Mary and Joseph took Jesus and fled Herod's' "Massacre of the Innocents" ( murdering all male children under 2 years old).
That event never happened. Something like that certainly would not have escaped the historians' attention.
Was your Jesus a "fairy tale"?
You'd be hard-pressed to prove he wasn't.

Why do you insist on making yourself blind, Sana8410?
The scripture is clear, and is not taken out of context. And why aren't you dicing these words......
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved....... 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: ....?
Just like a religiously brainwashed fool.... First, Seeing things that aren't there, and then not seeing things as clear as the nose on your face when it's convenient for you.
You're not fooling anyone but yourself.
I'm blind because someone points out what they think is a contradiction and i'm suppose to throw my hands up and dismiss everything? Jesus was talking directly to the 11 Apostles when He said that, so it was so with those they came in contact with, and believed, that's not possible? Beyond that i would have to see all Scripture in one context, so there may be a better answer i haven't come across yet, that doesn't mean i take your view as the whole thing being fairytale You don't need to take my word for it. There are many reliable historical accounts of the period, and none of them even mention Jesus, much less anything else mentioned in the Gospel accounts. There are reliable historical accounts of paganism, and everything mentioned in the gospels is also attributed to pagan god/men.... Virgin birth; followers/disciples; miracles/healing; death on a cross; resurrection/ascension into heaven.... every single thing you believe Jesus did was done by pagan god/men that preceded Jesus. Convince yourself that you are not worshipping the "new& improved" pagan myth if you need to. |

Then there is Matthew 25:41
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
BBQ pork and large juicy steaks cooked at the Lake of Fire?Perhaps you die and are completely gone? Save me a spot too,i'll come with the french fries and some beers. |

Then what background do you have that has caused you to abandon common sense and reason? Outside of a mother's love for her children, there is nothing else in life that requires you to have blind faith without proof.

Rigon,i said no one is commissioned to offer the proof you are looking for. Its true in those days the Apostles had such power, but no one is doing that today, if they were even you would believe. I also do not have a religious background or remember anything taught in sunday school
No soap. Notice there are no caveats, conditions, disclaimers, or expiration dates on the above scripture. Taking the typical Christian cop-out and claiming the Bible says one thing, but means something else, is just insulting the intelligence of anyone who can read it for what it says. |

Sorry Rigon but unless you can prove your God you can't ask others to prove theirs .
Who made that stupid rule? I'm not asking anyone to believe in my version of "god". I have nothing to prove. You, and other Christians like you, are commissioned to convert people to your belief system. That's rather difficult when you can't present any evidence of your "god", isn't it. I'm not a brainwashed religious fool. I know when things do or do not exist. Too bad you can't say the same. I'm not asking anything of you either, and no one can convert anyone, and no one is commissioned to offer the kind of proof you seek John 20;29 Jesus said to him, Zolace, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 6;44 No man can come to me, except the Father who has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. So all the preaching in the world by any human can't convert anyone, its only a vehicle 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:15-18 Not only did Jesus commission his followers, he offered "signs". What's the matter, Sana8410, were sick that day they taught that in Sunday School? But, since those signs donot follow you ( or anyone ) it's no wonder you choose to forget that part. |
