Albert Einstein once said -- "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - is insanity."

Yes, that's her in the corner -- isn't she - "so pretty--?"

Okay, as you were.

When was this discussion ever about the authenticity of Christianity, or any religion for that matter? Do I have to remind you guys of what the original posting was all about? The question was "Does religion have a place on the boards?". It had nothing to do with how accurate religion may be. I get the feeling that you guys are straying a little off-course with this one, which we all kinda expected anyway.

Sometimes, I wish people could be civil when it comes to religious debate. This thread was interesting and had it's merits until people corrupted it with their lack of perceptive understanding and empathy. Why can't we just accept the opinions of others and leave it at that?

SR, the only reason why you're quoting the Bible is because the guy that 'helped' you in rehab was Christian.  If he was Muslim, you'd be quoting the Quran.

And your constant Bible thumping is probably doing more harm than good around here.  You're not saving anyone but you're sure as shit annoying some.

You've got a good memory Phil.  But it goes way deeper than that.  And the only reason I'm Bible-thumping is because albinopenguin started this thread and the mods have been gracious enough to allow this discussion to go on this far.  This thread is the perfect opportunity to spread the Word.  Check out the Easter Experience.   It's  two thumbs up.

Wella,

I don't "believe" in anything. Only what I have witnessed and experienced myself is true, for a time. And that too, is always changing.

The values I make on history and other people's decisions are my independent free G-d given will.

And yours too.

Which is why you are free to fight and have fun.  

But try and keep it fun.

Sandra

This is tame.  You should have been here a couple of years ago when things really got ugly.  

It's healthy for board members to get these arguments out of their system.  Then we don't see these discussions pop up in script threads as much.

With the exception of possibly two members, I don't see anyone as hating on anyone else.  I'm certainly not hating the people I was arguing with.  I actually think it's ok for people to have beliefs even though I might argue for a more scientific approach to data.      

And, so far, it hasn't gotten to name-calling but if it does we'll put a stop to it, ok?

Since when did the thread become a place for a person to post videos about their religion?

That is not what this thread was intended for at all.

Because that video explains my stance alot better than I can.  It's pertinent to the subject that's being discussed.

Also, it's great filmmaking & screenwriting.

So you admit that you are now just subverting this conversation to be a Jesus troll.  Nice.

And before you get mad with me, note that I deleted none of your posts.  So give me credit for that.

Sorry to those who still had things left to say -- but I am wagering that 90% of you out there are ready to move on.

In its current form, this conversation has become counter-productive.

Did not see your post until just now, Cornetto.

If you are willing to monitor this, you are free to open it back up.

But I am getting fed up with this stuff.

Hey bert,

I'm fine with monitoring this for another hour or so.  I think it's mostly run its course too but I'll give everyone a chance for some last input.

When it was mentioned that Jesus never existed, I attempted to show that you could take a secular approach with non-Biblical accounts and come to a different conclusoin even if you are not a Christian or are not interested in being one. Sticking with "you should just believe the Bible" seemed a cop-out route. I forgot that sometimes it doesn't matter what the approach is.

Sorry if I derailed The Board or contributed to the corruption of the thread.

I wonder- would I get banned for writing as a joke- "I really find it hard to believe that a Christian would resort to name-calling"? I would post that, laugh, then wait about two months before returning to the board. That would be this thread's equal to farting in a crowded elevator just as you exited on the second floor while it still has to make 28 more stops.

Thanks, bert.   My hat's off to you.

But, no, I'm not being a Jesus troll.  Just trying my best to provide what I consider to be "supporting evidence:" that Jesus and the Bible are in fact, true.  

Of course it's difficult to prove when "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".  Hebrews 11:1.

Anyway, I've got a script to write so I'll try my best not to fan the flame any more.  Unless I'm egged on.
