Re: Specifically to the point

...I'll bet these people don't even believe in God or the authority of the Bible. Because surely they would be extremely aware that they are crooks and swindlers, the same kind that Jesus warned about in the Bible.
Buzsaw has no problem misrepresenting the Bible, while boasting of being an expert in Bible prophecy and claiming to be an honest man.
Maybe these guys are the same way. Is that honest, or not ?

Re: Specifically to the point
I was asking NJ for his opinion of you. It's not like asking you would do any good. If you were lying why would you admit it here ?

Re: Lewis on literature and history
quote:
So he didn't know how to judge some parts of the Bible. The main point still stands. He knew most of it wasn't fiction but histor
In other words his expertise only counts if he agrees with you. Maybe you should learn intellectual honesty. If only to avoid shooting yourself in the foot like this. Especially when you don’t even have a quote to support your point.

Re: Again Faith needs to backpedal and retract claims
quote:
I remember Lewis, in "Mere Christianity" I believe, arguing with the modernists who called the Bible fiction, that he knew fiction and the Bible was not. I remember it as a blanket statement.
Please explain why something you think Lewis said is better than actual quotes.
You tell us that Lewis’ opinion is worthless because he didn’t know how to judge parts of the Bible, But you give us no reason to think that his judgement is any better with regard to the rest - nor can you even confirm that he really did say that. (I believe I remember the quote and he was only talking about the gospels - yet Matthew’s nativity story is pretty clearly fiction).

Institutional Racism still needs to be fought
L A Times
The California Gang database - a secret law enforcement list of alleged gang members and associates is in desperate need of reform and efforts have been going on since 2016
Concerns about CalGang date back to a scathing 2016 state audit, which found it lacked oversight, and that some of the agencies entering alleged gang members, including the LAPD, could not substantiate the claims. Auditors found records for children as young as 1 year old when their names were uploaded, prompting the Legislature in 2017 to put the database under the purview of the attorney general and demand new rules for its use. Until then, it had functioned without state oversight.
Officers are accused of using false evidence to place people on the list - a list it is very hard to get a name removed from.
More than 90% of people in the database in 2018 were men of color, predominantly Latino and black, according to data from the California Department of Justice.
What a surprise.
But I guess the police have to work hard to protect California from those dangerous toddlers.
