I'm working on it. I just got to the part where you claimed gravity comes from a "metallic weight" because everything has metal in it, and then I pointed out Hydrogen is not metallic, has mass, and exerts gravitational forces. Nice backpedaling job...

My point is, don't dodge the question. It's funny how hard it is to get a direct answer to it. And the term is "mythology" not "biblical history".

If he starts talking again about how we live in a gravity well so strong it can pull light back toward us to make the apparent age of the universe change, I'm just gonna puke. And that's from the symptoms you get when exposed to a force that would rend you into individual atoms. Puking...

I didn't include the Romans because this is about whether or not you would let him die for your own "salvation". If you had the opportunity to cut him down, would you? There's no harm in using a hypothetical scenario, because the probability of the biblical scenario actually happening is...

Yup. Every time a copy of the video goes back up, a bunch of "privacy violation" complaints are made and the videos are pulled. He was responding to a publicly posted video, so there must be something in the YouTube system that is heavily automated and buggy, or there is someone in the...

It makes no sense. If he's there cut him down. If someone demands you must sacrifice another for him, then you fight and cut him down. It's better to die fighting tyranny than to succumb to it. If someone is in a burning building you fight to get them out, and yourself. You might even die in...

Agreed. Would Christianity be any less dangerous if western civilization hadn't secularized government to limit the wholesale murder of citizens by the religious state? I sure as hell don't want a government or court system that relies on "communication with the almighty by the chosen" rather...

He was most closely associated with Deism. That does not make him a Christian spiritualist.

He really sounds like one: Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. -Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782 But it does me no...

You're using another religious text to support your religious text as real. That's like using Ender's Game to show that Harry Potter was real. Cite them. Historical, non-religious texts. Greek and Roman would be the most accurate in that time period. Good luck with that. You'll be hard pressed...

All he had to do was say "Slavery is evil, and you will suffer for it as you will suffer for all other sins." And you can dance around that all you like but if the bible is dictating that you must do X or suffer Y in other places, why couldn't "God" or Jesus speak up on that issue?

Hardly. You haven't been paying attention. I'm not the only one who has argued against ALL forms of dogmatic faith, and other points are regularly dealt with: The claim by some that the existence of the christian god is undeniable truth, yet completely lacking in evidence. The claim that...

Maybe you want to go back and read a bunch of his nonsense posts, where his best attempt at making a point was just to use the word monkey in each one. Once anyone has established themselves as too lazy to look something up, or just repeats the same unsubstantiated crap that was argued by...

That's funny. 3 year olds can learn something. You obviously haven't learned anything any time recently. Like when you no longer have a leg to stand on with anything you say you still pop up now and again to make a couple of empty insults, because if you were to try and join in the actual...

So PhilHellenes was slapped with a privacy violation on youtube for laughing at a video posted by a religious nutbar. The thing is, the video was posted publicly so it was hardly a privacy violation. Lots of people have been mirroring it, but youtube has been taking it down. So I went in with...

It's definitely scary to think that the two largest religions on this planet are death cults.

You just jumped between two different conversations.

I love the fact that he thinks mocking evolution makes him look smart. Would you like to start mocking the measles and polio vaccines next? Or pretend to understand physics some more?

Backmasking? What the fuck? Are you a 12 year old who just teleported here from 1973?

And for those that don't need the threat of eternal damnation, there's always plain old reason and altruism.
