The best arguments atheists and religionists have been able to muster

I have a lot of respect for Cypress ,he thinks things through! But it's upsetting that he sees thinks exactly how they are ,put stays on the outside looking in.
If he ever gets a big dose of the Holy Spirit ,he'll become a Zealot!

This is why I don't think the apostles Peter, James, Paul, Andrew would have willing faced arrest and execution just for a tale they conspired to fabricate one evening while drinking wine in a tavern.
Their belief that they saw Jesus after his crucifixion seems like it must have been a consequence of one of the following reasons:
Mass hallucinations
They were all mentally ill
A genuine miracle occurred
Jesus never died on the cross & recovered temporarily from mortal injury

Nope. Cypress regurgitates things he reads and absorbs from the internet, without trying to actually learn the material. He simply assumes that anything he regurgitates is absolutely true, and anyone who points out errors is obviously stupid and uneducated.

:lolup::lolup: So much resentment, colored by a covert grudging admiration.

I've been registered here since 2006, and I am sure numerous MAGA morons have surreptitiously investigated whether I was plagiarizing or copying from Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Brittanica, but to no avail.

The fact that you yourself have to consult the internet before composing a post doesn't not make it universally true for everyone.

Besides my formal education and lifelong affinity for reading and continuing education, I have a digital library of 317 books and videos on history, science, religion, philosophy - and have spent two decades studying them. Most people don't give a shit about those topics, so there is no reason you should be angry and resentful that I do give a shit about them.

You can't develop an integrated knowledge of these topics by your method of simply frantically googling around for tidbits of information. While I am dumb as shit about a lot of topics, and choose not to run my mouth about them, the posts I compose are generally based on an integrated knowledge of things I do have a working understanding of: see posts numbers 224, 203, 100, 96 for example.

Digital library?
Can you see why I loathe the modern world?

I'd have so preferred to imagine massive, dark Mahogany shelves
laden with leather bound volumes.

Humanity has lost its grace.
At this point, a massive asteroid strike may be our best possible fate.

Nobody likes to print books anymore, sadly!

They don't think they are dying for lies.

They also are studiously trying to avoid detection and arrest, rather than preaching in public, and willingly exposing themselves to risk of arrest, torture, execution.

It's not a proper analogy.

this is called nihilism.

@ZenMode,

I will make this easy. When you are ready to move forward, just answer the two questions below. Yes, I mean actually answer the questions, not pretend that you have just thought of an irrelevant question that must somehow be answered and this topic derailed before you will admit that you have no counterargument.

  1. If Earth's atmosphere were to vanish, would Earth's average global equilibrium temperature change any?
  2. Under what circumstances does the Stefan-Boltzmann law's requirement that a body's radiance and temperature move in the same direction, somehow become false and cause earth's temperature to increase while earth's radiance decreases?


I'd like to add some evidence. God promised to never flood the earth again, and he gave us rainbows as an ongoing sign of His promise, and look, there are obviously still rainbows, and that's how I know that "sea level rise" is totally bunk and will never be flooding anything.

Yes. That is also evidence. A worldwide flood (as the Church of Global Warming prophecies) will not occur anymore.

Local flooding, of course, still occurs. That is often another time when somebody's prayers get answered, according to them.

Why? Why not become Hindu in case Shiva is the true God?

Funny you should mention that. My friend from Kolcutta, Paschwali, says that Shiva might very well be the true god, and that we should err on the side of caution.

Christians, crusaders, and ultimately bankers.

Your new handle is supposed to be spelled Laozi in the Chinese pinyin transliteration, or Lao Tzu in its Romanized form.

My position is straightforward, that the warmizombie insistence of SLR prevailing 15 cubits by the end of the century, or anytime on earth for that matter, is utterly false. If I am ever asked for my rational basis, I'll just point to the next rainbow and say "you don't have a prayer in heaven of that ever happening."

It's my position and I'm sticking to it.

Also, despite your support for the American standard units of measure, when your time comes to claim your wings and join the angels, you're going to find out the hard way that all the tools in heaven are built for the cubit system. The good news is that you'll have plenty of time to make the adjustment.

Incorrect. I have noticed how you regurgitate all the errors that you read on the internet, not being able to filtern them out because you don't understand anything about what you are copy-pasting.

Then you become unhinged whenever anyone tries to help you by pointing out errors in what you copy-pasted.
