all morality and ideas about inalienable rights are derived from religious teachings. Morality makes no sense at all if you believe that you are just an animal. Lions and tigers don't have morality they just eat what they can and defend their offspring and that's it. If that is your idea of morality then I guess we are talking past each other. Inalienable rights make no sense simply in terms of the laws of humans. There is no logic behind inalienable rights, only our belief that we are somehow deserving. There is no scientific proof that we are anything more than animals, so why should we have inalienable rights any more than a dog ? Its just belief.
So the disciples who walked the earth with Jesus for 3 years are all liars? Yeah, that really makes sense. 12 disciples, one commits suicide, and the other 11 were tortured and died for a lie. Mind you, these disciples were different martyrs than today's suicide bombers, they(the disciples) didn't advocate or demonstrate any violence whosoever. Peter was crucified upside down for a lie. You folks aren't thinking.... BOLT
Stu, I believe with all my heart that Jesus is who he said he was and I've seen his power first hand. Secondly, Jesus in no way ever advocated violence, such as strapping bombs to your body, and for you to say that I "might" do that is absurd since it would contradict everything I stand for--Jesus. My strong belief in the TRUTH is what Jesus said we should stand for. I don't except other faiths since they are not the truth. However, I'm not condemning anyone for anything they do or say. I'm just giving everyone the word and they are responsible for what they do with it. Thirdly, if I were so gullible, then why can't you guys convinced me of your beliefs. Not in a million years. It takes a stronger person to believe and hold strong to the word than it is to fall victim to the world's view on life--evolution, scientology, ect.. I'd say you all are the weaker species... BOLT
Pilate asked, are you the christ(the son of God)? Jesus replied, "it is as you say". The crowd yelled "BLASPHEMY!" "Put him to death". And we all know the rest.
Oh, I guess this is proof. I am sorry I was so "off the mark". Did Christ ever say that he was concieved some special way? That Mary was a virgin when she bore him? Is there any word about this "miracle" directly from the word of Jesus himself? Was God his literal father?
NO, no and no. literal father? Do you mean an earthly father who reproduces through sex? If so, no. It is a spiritual thing, apparently you have chosen not to tap into that part of yourself. Seek, and ye shall find. Jesus said, "i'm a rewarder of those who diligently seek me". Until you seek, you will continue on a path to nothing. BOLT
No, Bolt, I did not mean that. Nor the disrespect that that would imply. My question was only if Jesus himself proclaimed that he had no father but God. And if Jesus himself believed that Mary was a virgin when he was conceived. You see, my problem is that it seems to me that Jesus himself (assuming he existed as a real person) did not explicitly imply that he was the Son of God. That it was only after his death that he was deified by those that loved and followed him. To my (limited) knowledge, Jesus, even according to the bible, never made any direct claims to be a deity. Am I wrong? Misinformed? I certainly may be, but that is how I understand it. And again, I mean no disrespect. My only beef with you, Tbolt, is your total rejection of any beliefs other than your own. It just makes no sense that so many can be so wrong, and only you and your very specific brand of Christianity can be correct. rs7
There is No god. There never was. you've been duped. To be honest if there is a god and you are going to heaven...I don't wanna go with you. Sorry 'ol buddy but you are boring. And lame. To spend an eternity with you would be a fate worse than HELL Now THAT is eternal damnation!
The burden of proof is on the dickheads that make the claim... not the non-believers who prudently ask for proof. If you wanna stake your life on the existence of a unicorn... then you'd better be able to back it up bub. If I say I don't believe but will with proof... and you don't /can't come up with it. That makes you look like the hind leg of an ASSSS!!
