Re: A person of goodness
Agreed. That person is and needs to be a woman. Someone perceived as apolitical because the haters and trolls will bitch about anyone they perceive as political. But I guess "fuck 'em" Nominations for a woman representative of goodness. From last 1/2 century preferred.

Re: I Again Think GDR has Given Up On This Thread
the most definite reason is Jesus Himself.
What does that even mean?

Re: I Again Think GDR has Given Up On This Thread
Here is a site that outlines what constitutes historical evidence. Types of historical evidence One of the statements is this. “All historical sources that have been written are considered written evidence. “.
And that is literally all the site says about written evidence. In no way is it implying or suggesting that what the written sources wrote is factual. A huge caveat that it does not touch on is provenance. It also does not state that we put different weight on different sources, dependent on many variables. This webpage is written at a grade school level. You should feel ashamed that you presented it as some sort of support for your clear and unfathomable misunderstanding about history and historical resources. I know you refuse to interact with me, but if you want to discuss historical sources I can teach you quite a bit.

Re: I Again Think GDR has Given Up On This Thread
I have done the climb to Masada. We started at about 4 in the morning to escape the heat of the day. It takes a few hours, depending on the trail you take and your conditioning, to get to the top. I have also been to En Gedi nearby. This whole area on the shores of the Dead Sea has the feel of mountains.

Re: I Again Think GDR has Given Up On This Thread
If Phat did not get a perverse pleasure from it he would have left years ago. Do you think we should just let people spout idiocy without calling them on it? If you do, you are in the wrong place and should move along. Have you ever thought that there is a reason why you only get support from the nut jobs?

Re: I Again Think GDR has Given Up On This Thread
But they at least had the guts to stand up for what they believe.
It isn't any of your God Damn business what he are anyone else believes. For many of us, our beliefs are private. We do not feel the need to share them with strangers or try to convince other people that our beliefs are correct or even accurate. So shove your christian self-righteousness where the sun don't shine. I actually rewrote this because the first rendition sounded too harsh.

Re: I Again Think GDR has Given Up On This Thread
No, I am not mad at god you idiot. I have no belief in a god, it is merely a swear word. Go ahead and read into it what you want, you would be wrong. I have never had a belief in a god, except when I was a child and believed in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny too. I believed in them the exact same way and remember when I thought adults were idiots for still believing in a god. So go mind you own damn business.
