It was remarkable that the Republican candidate for president in 2016 on national TV begged Russian intelligence services to hack Democratic party computers.
He was interested in using Aristotelian logic to defend existing Catholic doctrine. His logical proof of God strikes me as a riff off Aristotelian syllogisms.
Plato was probably more influential...
Holy Rollers and militant atheists are both only interested in defending their turf.
There are plenty of religious historians out there that could make evangelical literalistists and militant...
Jesus wasn't killed, according to New Testament tradition
I agree the concept of the trinity itself can't be justified logically
Anyone who has been to Gettysburg knows that Cemetery Ridge is just a slight rise in the landscape. The confederates did not lose because they were fighting their way up a steep hillside. They lost...
Obviously it cannot be explained scientifically or rationally. It's strictly mystical
I believe it was the doctrine adopted at the council of Niccea, and was a response to "heretical" Christian...
This is what you said:
America isn't at war with anyone.
Providing military aid to foreign nations in conflict is not America being at "war".
In your hyperpartisan thought process, you...
What foreign nation is America's military fighting a war against?
Yep, that's right ... none.
Trump bombed Iraq and Syria and got US Special Forces killed in Africa. Do those type of actions...
Thanks, another one to add to your list of flagrant ignorance! :laugh:

Right, it's ridiculous to even suggest that outside of the elite and trained rabbis, any substantial percentage of the peasants, farmers, fishermen, laborers in Galilee were literate.
Even if they...
You didn't even know about that reference to Peter in Acts until you saw me write about it. And then within ten seconds you suddenly appointed yourself an expert in Acts.
According to Wiki, most...
I don't think it matters, because I don't agree with the atheist position that the discrepancies and authorship of the Gospels is massively consequential, Earth-shattering, and vitally meaningful....
Yes, Acts states that Peter was uneducated. It's a reasonably good assumption that Peter was fairly typical of other fishermen and peasants in Galilee.
Thanks for confirming you don't have your own original principles and ideas, and just define yourself by being against whatever Democrats are doing.
Just being against another party is not a...
It doesn't seem like MAGA morons have their own original and independent values and principles. They just define themselves by being against whatever Democrats are doing.
It's my contention that I have never based a decision as important as the right to vote on what some obscure moron said on a message board.
I have thought long and hard about what my own personal...
That does nothing to change the fact USC is private school.
Thousands of private companies take small business loans from the government, and millions of private citizens take social security...
I take a middle road on the authorship of the gospels.
Matthew and John are written way to late in the first century, and written in literate Greek to be reliably attributed to the Apostle John...
:lolup::lolup:^^ Completely illiterate about particle physics, but desperately wants to fake that he is knowledgeable :laugh: --->
"Electromagnetism in general is mediated by photons. This...
USC is a private school and can do whatever they want. Valedictorians should be non-controversial people, in principle. Nobody has a God given right to be a valedictorian.
I am liberal,...
You base your voting decisions based on what some random anonymous person on an obscure message board posts??
Actions speak louder than words.
Republicans are ensuring Ukraine runs out of ammunition, and they continue to refuse to pass the military aid to Israel bill.
The MAGS cult devotion and worship of their Tangerine Messiah is a reflection on their own moral character
You and the other MAGAs have had many, numerous, multiple golden opportunities to get rid of Trump and replace him with a conservative of higher intelligence and character.
But at each...
