Dale Headley replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'" My solution to this was to go to church and let everybody know that I didn't believe a word that was being spoken from the pulpit; that I would not recite any prayers; and that I would not bow my head. I did stand when the…"

Geoff replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Ah, the Trinity! Now was there ever a more convoluted, schizophrenic mishmash of mambo-jumbo? Talk about multiple personality disorders. Well he is, no he isn't, yes he is. Oh, I got it, let's say he is and is part…"
Geoff replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"That is a good question. I have no idea myself but the speculation ranges from his increasing infirmity to embarrassment over his handling of abuse cases in the past. With the world growing increasingly more outraged by the stories of…"
archaeopteryx replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Why do you think the Pope quit --?"
archaeopteryx replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Right - the first, "Mark" wasn't written until more than 40 years later - who waits 40 years to write a book about the "savior of the world"?
None of the four gospels were signed, it wasn't until the second century CE…"
archaeopteryx replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"That's because his alleged ministry didn't begin until after his baptism.
Regarding the gospel of John, supposedly the son of Zebedee, the fisherman, he didn't even meet Yeshua the way the synoptic gospels say he did. According to…"
Geoff replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Which is why the catholic church treats the OT as an inconvenient book and distances themselves from it as far as they can. Perhaps they have read some of your work Arch."
Geoff replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Yeah, good point. Plus, if you believe the prevailing fable (quite open to interpretation and revision), he had no wife or children. The "starting a religion thing" wasn't working very well judging from the fact the Romans…"
SteveInCO replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Interesting that apparently he didn't preach until he hit that age, either.
Christians will torture their chronology to make the gospels compatible with each other when you read the sequence of events (coming up with three distinct incidents…"
Karlen Sanberg replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"The harm is in being made to feel that it is bad manners to not believe in god.

Karlen Sanberg replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"I would not go. You can reinforce the "personal relationship" thing that christians claim they have with their god substance, and simply state that you don't share that relationship with them. Your lack of a relationship with a god…"
archaeopteryx replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"Good point - ask the priest who hands it to you if Jesus' flesh is lo-cal and low cholesterol, because you're on a restricted diet - also, ask if he washed his hands after his last trip to the bathroom. Oh, and do this in a VERY loud voice…"
archaeopteryx replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"RE: "But we know there was no Adam and Eve so no original sin and no reason to make up the rest of this unbelievable story."
Exactly - yesterday someone (I don't have time to look up who) commented that we should ignore the Old…"
Kairan Nierde replied to wyocowboy50's discussion 'Shall I go against my values?'"yeah, it's not like ancient humans had much left to look forward to after 32 years of age anyway besides a miserable decline during what we now call middle-age followed by an early death."
