Talk about missing the point. That was not what I meant. You don't even understand the arguments people are making. How can you even discuss something when you don't even understand what people are saying? I am not going to hold your hand and spoon feed you what people are saying, but I will laugh as you get more and more ridiculous and become more of a caricature of yourself.

CS Lewis should have stayed with fantasy. I slogged through Mere Christianity. It is painful and logically fallacious. The arguments are just not good. I can see Lewis in all of GDR's attempts at an argument.

Percy makes a good point in Message 380
Maybe you should start with a definition of god. That way we might at least have an idea of what you mean.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

You don't need to reply to everything. Nobody gives a rat's ass what a troll thinks.

There is no contemporary historical evidence for the existence of the character Jesus Christ of the christian scriptures. Using the bible is problematic as there are multiple versions, translations(through multiple languages) and interpretations. Many are contradictory to others and also self-contradictory. Also, you can not use a source to prove itself.
We have been through this before on this forum.
The Existence of Jesus Christ Message 7Explores the lack of historical evidence. If you feel like defending the historicity of the dude, post on that thread. I would love to read your argument.

I see you did not bother to follow my link to a previous conversation we had on the historicity of the Jesus dude.
The Existence of Jesus Christ quote: EUSEBIUSEusebius was born over 200 years after the supposed death of the Jesus of christian scripture. Not historical evidence. PAPIASEven Bart Ehrman who rarely disavows a bad historical Jesus dude argument has no faith in anything Papias supposedly wrote(We have none of his writings). quote:Ehrman, Bart D. (2016-03-01). Jesus Before the Gospels: How the Earliest Christians Remembered, Changed, and Invented Their Stories of the Savior (pp. 95-96, 100-102). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.

GDR refuses to respond to my posts. Probably best as he has no rational, evidenced argument for a historical J-dude.

GDR seems to have no interest in discussing the topic of the historicity of Jesus in the christian scriptures. As he is wont to do he just throws crap out and gets offended when people point out his errors and fallacies. I really had hope that he would turn out to be an honest debater. He is better than Phat, but that isn't saying much.

It threatens all life in the universe in all things. Such a monster would destroy causality and take the entire universe with it.
I use the same argument with my ghost hunter friend. If any of it were true, if there was anything supernatural or paranormal, it would have to overthrow the laws of physics. Causality would be destroyed and the universe with it.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

And in six months GDR will think he has another revelation and start another topic and we will rehash it all once again. He will again realize his arguments are worthless and slink away again. Rinse and repeat
