Jesus did not have a tragic end. He was not bitter. He chose to die on the cross and take our place to pay for our mistakes. He also rose from the dead. He is alive today and I will live forever through Him.   See 23 other replies

Funniest things that I've wondered... If heaven is so perfect, then why did the angels fall? It can't be perfect if the angels weren't happy, that's illogical. Perfection is perfect, there is no room to want in a perfect place, a utopia.Lucifer was Lucem Ferre, who was Eosphorus in Greco-roman polytheistic times, brother to hesperus and he was the morning star (Venus). He was the light bearer, god of enlightenment, and a good god. Satan, the literal definition is to oppose. Does this mean that light and intelligence opposes God? I did read in one of my classes that the early mystics believed Jesus was sent to save us from God. Yeah, of course there was a Jesus Christ... people love the idea of gods sleeping with humans, but they wanted to control women. Keep them pure and they wanted to shun intercourse. Perhaps, in their day, this was a good thing to make people chaste in a world of chaos, and give them virtue and a set of morals. Still... that's all Jesus Christ was... a modification of a demigod, as were the nephilim who were half angel half human. He was also a modification of the classic tragic hero one reads about in greco roman stories. The ones who are always done in because of some flaw or disposition, which leads them to go from good to a bitter, bitter end.By the way, has anyone ever seen a real cherub? They are monstrous... why do christians they are lovely little angels? And what about female angels? God didn't make any... do Christians actually read the bible or what? Lol....   See 23 other replies

Are you serious? You can grow bacteria in a petri dish. If you need a refresher of sixth grade science this may be the wrong place to look.   See 23 other replies

On a purely physical basis you are right, but most of the writings of Christianity are metaphors meant to teach lessons. Most of these metaphors were taught through motifs of older legends, they were things that the people could understand. In fact, most religions are like this.   See 23 other replies

so I clicked through a little more. frustrating that. how do you justify forcing the acknowledgement of laws of logic while breaking them from the start? for start, you force a false dilemma, engage in circular logic, then proceed to make appeals to common practice. I don't mean to engage ad hominem, but I can't take you seriously if your going to engage this way. you know what the worst thing is? I wan't to believe in something, but find everyone so childish, and so abusive, that I am completely repelled. either you can work within a frame of reference or abuse it for your own needs. fix it. use this as a guide.

maybe I'll pay more attention. but if either of you theist and atheists expect anyone to listen when you keep violating these easy rules of human discourse, your fools.   See 23 other replies

A False Dilemma is a fallacy in which a person uses the following pattern of "reasoning":Either claim X is true or claim Y is true (when X and Y could both be false).
Claim Y is false.
Therefore claim X is true.
This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because if both claims could be false, then it cannot be inferred that one is true because the other is false. That this is the case is made clear by the following example:Either 1+1=4 or 1+1=12.
It is not the case that 1+1=4.
Therefore 1+1=12.
In cases in which the two options are, in fact, the only two options, this line of reasoning is not fallacious. For example:Bill is dead or he is alive.
Bill is not dead.
Therefore Bill is alive.   See 23 other replies
