Easter: Message of Jesus?

Quote: Evenbob

Really? Name one, I can't think of
any, enlighten me. Religion is 99%
made up stories passed down to
later generations, and then taken
as truth because there's no way
to verify any of it.

It's like that kids game where one whispers in the next ones' ear, and it goes round the circle

It's called the telephone game and
if you want to make a Xtion livid,
tell him that's basically what his
religion is. They know it's true but
have their heads buried in the sand
to such a degree they'll never admit
it.

Quote: Evenbob

They have to dismiss
it because even one person who died
and was born into another body totally
cancels out the reward/punishment
religions of Xtionity/Mormonism/Islam.

I don't think that is why the members of this forum are dismissing it, nor do I think that is the reason the rest of the scientific community is not taking them seriously. By the way how do you know this being born into another body is not punishment, sounds like it to me.

How did this person miss being judged
by their awful god?

Are you begging the question here or are you just trying to fit in another meaningless insult? Are you drawing conclusions from a few unexplained, rare, often faked, and sensational interviews and research? You know I am beginning I shouldn't take you so seriously when you keep asking me for evidence if your standard is so low.

If you want to make Evenbob livid, tell him that the studies on reincarnation have faults or basically disagree with him about any of the crazy myths he holds about Christianity, Catholicism in particular, and all religions.

Of course it is. Reincarnation, which has
been believed by Hindus and Buddhists
for thousands of years, cancels out
the Santa type religions out of the gate.
You know, Santa has a list and keeps
track and so does god. Even your thoughts
aren't private, you'll be punished for those
too.

Reincarnation gives you a do over, a Mulligan,
and it just doesn't fit the narrative of the
gloom religions so it has to be dismissed
without a thought. The scientists don't
know what their doing, their methodology
is screwy. But it's like Dr Stephenson said,
eventually the undeniable weight of the
evidence will be so hard to ignore, like it
is with all science breakthroughs, that it
will change religion forever. Copernicus
and Galileo changed the Church forever
and so will this eventually.

tell him that the studies on reincarnation have faults .

No, show him your ignorance by stating
things are flat out lies and pretend you
studied the issue when you obviously
didn't.

Sounds like exactly what you do to me ALL the time!

Please give examples of where you
showed the scientific research that
gave evidence for gods existence
and I ignored it. You can't because
there isn't any.

I thought you were complaining that people state things that are flat out lies and pretending they studied the issue when they obviously haven't. This is what you have done many times.

In regards to ignoring science you have done it in regards to ignoring the general consensus of scientists today that say the Big Bang theory points unmistakably to the universe having a beginning. You have also ignored science in its insistence that if something is in motion then something must have acted on it. Also you ignore the second law of thermodynamics and the impossibility of an eternal universe. You seem to think the unexplainable coincidence of the universe being so finely tuned for life is nothing.

Yet you state no examples because
you have none as usual.

I haven't ignored that at all and you
know it. You constantly think that
the universe is the galaxies, when it
is not. The galaxies are IN the universe,
which has been here forever. There
have been an infinite number of BB's
inside the universe, so what. There
will be another one when this latest
ones dies out.

We've discussed this so many times and
you always forget about it. Your cult
trained selective memory is a thing to
behold. You just cancel out everything
that doesn't fit into your narrow box
of beliefs.
