You cannot understand why people that worship other gods may not want to use your Bible as a guidebook??
Were any of those author’s ‘human’ ? Were they guided by a supernatural entity?
Do you have a list of Atheist leaders who would help rule the world if Atheist were given power?
Lets have your list of them.
What if I asked nicely?
Reported for forum change.
The word for that isn’t theism; theism is the belief that one or more deities exist. That covers Ancient Greeks, Aztecs, the Norse pantheon, Egyptian mythology, aboriginal mythology, Islam, and countless others that either predate or reject the bible (or reduce it to secondary status).
Maybe you need to coin a new term for your beliefs, Bible-ism or Reformed Christianity. “Theism” is taken.
Moving right along, the writings of John Stuart Mill are books of morals and guidelines for everybody that can use them. So is the Bible, so is the Koran, so is the code of Bushido.
Considering that you yourself seem vaguely hostile to the largest religion on the planet, which itself claims only a third of the population, you should understand that there is no common set of morals or laws or guidelines that are accepted universally.
He never claimed to have such a list, so your demand to see it is completely unreasonable and totally nonsensical.
You were not told you couldn’t make lists. You were told to stop posting vague lists instead of making arguments. Try it.
Well I am just trying to do as I am told. But thank you, if I make a list, I will argue each and every single word of it.
As long as your arguments consist of something more than variations of “Because I say so”, we’ll have something to discuss.
Speaking of which, lets start with the list at the beginning of this thread: Why did you put the Family Research Council on it?
Try this: instead of naming 15 books and asking people to read them all, mention one or two and explain in detail what the authors says and how it supports your argument. That’s what people actually want.
Thank you, I’ve already read that. Loukas is about the only solid name we have, as I recall
Well give me time to learn what people here want; and as I learn, I’ll give them what they want. I will not name 15 books, I can remember that, I will only name one or two and explain what the author says in detail; I can do that if I ever refer a book.
Can you show me where I ever said" Because I said so", I would like to see that?
Can you show me why the Family Research Council is on your list in the OP, or why the charitable organizations of other religions never made the list, or why you keep equating “theism” with “Christianity”, or why other religions should use the Christian Bible as their guidebook?
If you just really have a serious need to find fault in me, why not just ask me and I will give you a list of my faults, then you can just rail on them?
Just looking for answers to my questions.
Got any?
No, your looking for holes in me; for openings that you can rail on and on with; you have a need to find fault in any and everything I say; and I know this, so I have to be careful with you. You have talents that can cause the things that are not good for dialog in threads.
