Yes. It is!
Could God make an argument so circular even he couldn’t believe it?
Oh, I don’t know …
Take, for example, the subjective experience of one’s self. This cannot realy be observed, measured, or tested. At least not in the same way that we might observe a sofa in the living room or measure the right ascension of Vega on May 25, 2013 at 1400Z. But I know of no one, outside schizophrenics experiencing depersonalization, who fails to perceive their own selves as real phenomena of an existing consciousness. It even has a fancy name: qualia.
No, no it isn’t!
I’ll let you in on a little secret:
We can’t handle the truth!
Wabbit season!
No, awesome season.
Okie, do you know what circular reasoning is? You start these threads and bow out rather quickly as if to acknowledge you have no argument. If you’re going to come in here with supposed special knowledge of the truth, defend your position.
YES, it is!!
He’s witnessing, he’s not trying to prove anything.
We’re supposed to fall over from hearing the revelation.
God also:
-
Told a man to kill his son as a test of faith
-
Fucked with Egypt a bunch for having slaves but kinda left the other slaveowning empires alone
-
Intentionally destroyed mankind’s first (and only) attempt at global unification and kept the nations intentionally separate and wary of each other for the sole purpose of keeping our potential depressed because we dared to build a structure too high and get too close to heaven.
-
Goliath was just doing his job.
-
Openly performed miracles and communicated with mankind but abruptly stopped doing so for the last 2000 years. No more pillars of fire, mana from heaven, mass genocide of firstborns, flamed chariots, never ending cups of lampoil, etc.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego can be saved from immolation but the 4 little girls who were in the 16th street baptist church that was bombed in 1963 couldn’t be spared. I guess we’re just not to question God’s plan in his infinite wisdom.
- Arbitrarily decided that some 4000 years after recorded history began to send the savior of mankind to a remote part of the world pretty much to die in anonymity, leaving everyone who was born before that time, or outside the sphere of influence of the gospel completely and arbitrarily fucked with respect to eternal salvation.
No! No, it isn’t
I can see both of your points.
No one acknowledges that a talking duck impervious to gunfire and a rabbit game warden with a handlebar moustache are modern-day miracles.
What, exactly, does it take, oh ye of little faith?
A coyote catching and eating a roadrunner would convince me.
Yeah, well, I have a cite that says the opposite. So there!
Is punctuation up for debate as well?
I see your site and raise youthis cite!
Yes. . . it is.
