Actually UB and I are both Jewish but I guess he's from the reformed, LOL. You have to admit, for being the biggest brainiacs in the world, Jews are not the smartest sometimes, especially when it comes to politics. UB, as a Jew, you know I enjoy debating; I've always respected you but we have to agree to disagree on Muslims. There are 109 verses in the Qur'an about murdering "infidels" (that includes you and me chaver).
"worthy" being the operative word here.
Isn't that what this is all about?
I have yet to see a thread on here that has not been hijacked and probably 25% of them are trolled. But hey, it's the internet. Everyone has an opinion. Anyone that posts here can expect to have someone voice a contrary opinion, no matter what it is. Personally, I think we grow from seeing each others opinions, so it's a positive thing to me. I know I've benefited from others thoughts here even though I may not have originally agreed with them. With Padawan, my goal was only to make him truly see his own heart.
i am a self-described agnostic humanistic jew.
That's correct.
But Christianity has had a Zombie Messiah, the fall of Christian Rome, the rise of the Catholic Church, the Dark Ages, and a Protestant Reformation since then.
Busy.
Yes in that little world in your head where you rule supreme.
Not to mention RIU.
Too late; I done did. Actually yesterday was simchat torah, so we start again. But killing people who burn their babies alive as an offering to molech does not bother me.
109 was all you could come up with in the qu'ran?
Nope. I mean if he doesn't believe in his own people, why believe in something else? I'll tell ya what I belive; I believe I'm going to go grab a beer and fire up a bowl.
It's not "better"; it just is what it is. Faith is an intangible; if we could see it then it would not be faith. If it were easy, reasonable, or logical, everyone would be doing it. I believe that God chose to hide himself and his ways. "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter but the honor of kings is to search it out." (Pr. 25:2). By doing it this way, he weeds out those that are not serious because they will not seek it out. The ways of the spirit man are totally opposite of the flesh.I'm just about sloshed myself! Lol
Out of green though
How bout this question...
How is requiring belief based on faith better than on evidence?
