which Judeo-Christian figures are being threatened with being debunked? And who is threatening this?
Lets not be coy here. Fundy atheists websites spend inordinate amounts of time trying to subvert any evidence that would corroborate the bible, and fundy Christian sites spend inordinate amounts of time trying to connect erroneous dots. Occasionally one side or the other is correct, but why they are making the inquiry is something seldom spoken about.
If Berreta, whoever that is, is every bit as fundy as you say, do you then indict yourself in the opposite question?
when someone claims that there is anything more than sparse evidence, I cry bullshit.
Okay, fair enough, if that's all that you said. You continued on in a tirade, going on about how you concluded the bible is total bs. The thread title should say it all.
I don't like lies going hand-in-hand with Christianity, so when Berreta makes a false claim, I will call bullshit.
I don't either, but then, I don't like lies at all.
I'm sorry you can't do the same.
I obviously can since I am critical of all extremism in any direction. What upsets me is irrational loathing. To be upset at so-called Christians lying to further a claim is reasonable, and that really ticks me off too, maybe even more for me than you because I at least have some vested interest in it. Though that is dwindling more by the day. What also upsets me is people thinking that there is this war against Christianity if the Christians somehow fail to measure up to Christ -- as if that is something to avoid.
Confronting people about why they find Judeo-Christian beliefs or ethics so appalling, I find, can usually be traced back to their cognitive dissonance about it. They felt let down. And it's as if they shook their fists skyward saying, "you lied to me." Who are they talking to? While I understand it, it is nonetheless irrational, and they should be careful not allow it to fester.
Christians and pagans should not be seen as us versus them. Individuals within each exacerbate the situation needlessly, I think.
