Front Door Vistors by JedaiBesk2003-02-27 05:42:17
  Which is why you should always speak properly. by pecosdave2003-02-27 05:44:53
    slight correction by plblark2003-02-27 06:43:12
      Calling NOLAWitch... by Naruki2003-02-27 06:59:20
        It just bugs me a little is all... by plblark2003-02-27 07:05:14
          At a guess, I'd say the "Jesus Christ" part. ;-P by Naruki2003-02-27 07:13:20
            heh! by plblark2003-02-27 07:34:23
              I'd have to disagree on that first sentence by Egaeus2003-02-27 08:08:38
                well, yes, if it WERE the word of god directly by plblark2003-02-27 08:22:06
                  So then by Egaeus2003-02-27 08:34:34
                    I think His rules are plain enough by slacktime2003-02-27 08:57:53
                      Wait a minute by Egaeus2003-02-27 09:05:56
                        Oh I don't disagree by slacktime2003-02-27 09:14:51
                          I agree by Egaeus 2003-02-27 09:31:19
except that I don't plan on espousing any religion.

You didn't offend me. That's pretty hard to do. I just like a good religious debate. Didn't mean to sound asinine, I was just trying to inject a little humor, so it wouldn't get too serious. Some religious debates here get pretty nasty.

As far as Christianity goes, that is not my main problem. My main problem is the cognitive dissonance that goes along with it. We are supposed to believe in the omniscience of God, with him knowing the future, otherwise prophecy would be invalid. On the other hand, we are supposed to have free will to choose God.

That really doesn't make sense, seeing that the outcome was determined by God when he created the universe. He knew full well that he would condemn a sizeable portion of the population to hell, and even knowing which ones it would be. It sounds more like a sociopath than a creator to me.

                            Maybe this will help by slacktime2003-02-27 10:00:50
                              To make it a better analogy... by Naruki2003-02-27 10:11:39
                                Ah but that is where you and I differ by slacktime2003-02-27 10:17:32
                                That's where you differ with about 90% of Xians. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:21:24
                                that's ok Naruki by slacktime2003-02-27 10:35:46
                                I shall now call you King Arthur... by Naruki2003-02-27 10:40:35
                                And the purpose of that post was...? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:34:44
                                A sour spin and horribly incomplete. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:22:48
                                And if the eldest refuses? by Naruki2003-02-27 10:28:35
                                The eldest didn't refuse. He voluneered. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:31:25
                                Are you an idiot? by Naruki2003-02-27 10:37:39
                                I'm sorry that my analogy was flawed by slacktime2003-02-27 10:44:07
                                Ooh, very humble. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:45:07
                                Nitpick by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:07:24
                                Do you really want to know? by YakkoWarner2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                Actually he rebelled ... by cristobal2003-02-27 10:39:55
                                A sour spin and horribly incomplete. by Naruki2003-02-27 10:43:26
                                You sound bitter. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:49:38
                                I know, I know ... by cristobal2003-02-27 10:51:29
                                But Jesus was the eldest and only begotten by Llyr2003-03-06 08:49:37
                              Not quite adequate by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:14:24
                                Maybe there is more to you by slacktime2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                But we keep coming to the question by Egaeus2003-02-27 10:47:53
                                Huh? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 10:54:00
                                I think he was referring to this: by Spiff2003-02-27 11:01:52
                                I wonder what he thinks of Isaiah... ;) (n/t) by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:03:10
                                There's quite a difference by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:30:43
                                I'm still talking confusing style. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:39:32
                                That's all I ask by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:43:33
                                Just the style by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:02:30
                                Too bad by slacktime2003-02-27 11:05:54
                                So God should change his style to suit us? by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:20:33
                                It seems that by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:29:14
                                So you *do* want a translation. by YakkoWarner2003-02-27 11:36:52
                                You are saying the Joe was 200 years old? by Naruki2003-02-27 11:53:02
                                I have no problem understanding by slacktime2003-02-27 12:14:06
                                Hold on... by Spiff2003-02-27 11:58:16
                                so knowledge removes freedom? by slacktime2003-02-27 10:58:10
                                That's the crux of the longtime debate by Nea2003-02-27 11:22:56
                                And we aren't likely going to solve it today? by slacktime2003-02-27 11:32:28
                                The latter option doesn't fly. by Arcanum2003-02-27 11:44:34
                                weakened omniscience by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:54:37
                                Yes. So is weakened omnipotence. :) by Arcanum2003-02-27 11:56:04
                                Turn it around by Ston2003-02-27 12:28:05
                                So he knows some things? by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:32:57
                                No by Ston2003-02-27 12:54:29
                                But if he knows the actions we will take by Egaeus2003-02-27 12:58:37
                                Because you're not getting it. by YakkoWarner2006-11-19 12:55:59
                                It didn't (n/t) by Egaeus2003-02-27 13:25:26
                                Nope, still doesn't work. by Arcanum2003-02-27 14:42:32
                                When we're talking about God, absolutely by Egaeus2003-02-27 11:34:35
