Speaking of irrational notions, hey Ted, any word on anyone who saw Jesus after he died, and then wrote about it in the bible?

No?

Huh...

I am at school right now so I havent been researching it. But I will tell you this, I believe everyone saw him. the writers themselves seen visions of him after his ressurection.. Most of them died as martyrs. and Man does not die for something he knows is a lie. Including Christ himself.

Hey, you there. Listen up. There is a being that created the world and controls each and every thing in it. He is utterly invisible and insensable to you but I speak to him personally every day and have great influence with him. So you'd better do everything I tell you or I'll tell him and then you're in big trouble. Let's begin by having you give me everything you own.

Can any lie be more obvious than that?

But you're completely comfortable doing the same to others.

Your hypocrisy is fucking astounding...

This is something I really don't understand.

It's nearly the same as a willingness to watch someone kill themselves or someone else.

It's enjoying witnessing people drawn into worshipping themselves and death rather than God and life.

Why do you enjoy this ? How ?

I would only suggest that it's probably something you shouldn't find enjoyable

If it was a man who was a muslim and started saying things I disagreed with. It would be much different.

Not really.

It is a lie created by men (YOU in this case) not God.

It is MAN that embraces and allows evil not God. God suggests we avoid it. Not all of us do of course.

Now, this is interesting.

You've just legitamized every suicide bomber in the Middle East. They "know" what they're doing is right. They "know" it's what Allah wants, and that Allah will reward them. They're viewed as martyrs.

Given their beliefs, you've basically just said that they're justified in doing what they do.

Nice work...

Belief has no correlation with reality.

They don't know its a lie. You are correct. but I didn't justify them at all.

So you admit that you have zero respect for the fact that she has a different belief system than you do.

You get upset if someone disrespects your god or your bible, but you're quick to admit that it's okay where another religion is concerned.

And still you wonder why you're viewed with disdain?

[metalted]

a Christian Martyr dies for what he believes in. an Islamic Shahid kills for what he believes.

Naw... you're just an internet crusader. Slightly more annoying than an armchair revolutionary, slightly less aggravating than a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

Ah, the irony of fundamentalism.
