What sort of "savage" life you must lead. On first acquaintance to come out with "horrible", "heading for a disastrous presidency" sounds slightly savage to me. |
Actually I don't believe that at all, Proximo. But it's ever so nice of you to assume I am atheist just because I don't believe in the same whack ass, ever edited, multiple version, multiple author collection of fables and political manifestos that Stephen Baldwin believes in.
You may also notice you were guilty of self righteous indignation yourself there Proximo, putting yourself on a pedastal above those foolish atheists. Oops! |

Can I politely suggest a course of biochemistry? |

Listen, Obama is a politician at the end of the day like all the others, I do like him, but it's like he's untouchable, no one is allowed to say a bad word about him!! No body would have been calling it a "savage attack" if it had been any other politician other than Obama! |
Baldwin is a Bible Freak
he needs to shut his Gob. |
It rather depends on the form the criticism takes. Horrible was a reference to the man: that his health measures are inoperable or his policy on Afghanistan is unwise would be fine.

Will it tell me how something can come from nothing? Will it tell me how rock sludge turned into Hawks and Grass? Great! I already have the basic course (which made zero mention of either of those things) so recommend what you will. |

Of course many books in The Bible describe the earth as being flat, and that stars as being merely dots in the sky that could theoretically rain down on us. And that everything orbits the earth. And numerous other geographical contradictions we now know to be bullshit. I thought it was meant to be the word of God? You telling me he dosn't know his own construction site? Want some more? Sweet. So do I : Quote:

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 7:1 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. Job 38:13 13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? Jeremiah 16:19 19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Daniel 4:11 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH Matthew 4:8 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them And consdering The Bible was written by man, without any divine influence, and considering all but the most radical of men believed the earth to be flat at the time, it's safe to assume The Bible has been written from the viewpoint of the earth being flat. |

...then you are in SERIOUS need of some help with reading comprehension. I mean Im not even joking when I say that our 11 year olds don't even get confused about that. Also, if you actually knew anything about these Jews you would know that guys like Moses were raised in Egypt and Jews came out of Sumeria (and had their own things of course), and, ABSOLUTELY KNEW THE EARTH WAS A SPHERE. Didn't just 'know it' but they had EXCELLENT astronomy. Its actually sad we lost so much of that and only recently are catching up to them. Wow.. just sad you cannot even comprehend the most basic hermeneutics even children can grasp. But no.. Im not interested in you just copying and pasting huge chunks of text from 'infidels' or whatever 'online atheist' websites. Especially not stupid ones like that. Especially not from someone who ACTUALLY thought they were reading some physical directions from those verses. Wow. Just wow. |
Oh so those were the poetic bits. Right, right. I get it now.
I love how you religionsists pick and choose which bits of The Bible are litteral and which parts are just poetic language based on whatever online discussion you are in. Those bits are poetic yet the story of creation is absoloutely how it happened? lolz Have you come up with a good explanation as to how I am a racist yet? |

Stephen doesn't "preach". Earlier on for example, he was just going to go read his Bible but Alex asked him about it. What do you want him to do? Say "No, f-ck of, I'm reading my Bible"? Some people in the house are obviously genuinely interested about what he's got to say.
If you can't accept other peoples religions or beliefs then I recommend never stepping outside your front door. |

So congrats.. you needed me to explain that to you. Children get this 'intuitively' and they don't 'pick and choose' but rather you need only have something called 'basic reading comprehension'. You 'pick and choose' just like you do when you read something like this article: CBB Ratings Smash all Records. This years opening drew in more viewers than any before it. 7 million viewers viewed and... 1.It doesn't even matter if this report is factually correct or not because what you do is interpret and comprehend the text itself as it is presenting itself. 2.You picked the title as intending to communicate a 'true claim' using metaphorical language. You did not suppose it mean some ratings can actually become physical objects used to physically damage some paper or CD containing previously recorded ratings. 3. Again, you understood 'drew in' to be speaking about the viewers desires and wishes and not resisting their attractions to the entertainment. 4. You did suppose it meant 7 million viewers. You did not understand that to be an 'allegory' but supposed they intended to communicate a factual statement and claim. But for some reason you are baffled and even suspicious when it came to a passage in which a metaphorical 'vision' is given and communicated. Somehow you don't know which way to go on that one? Children do. Intuitively they know this as a first read. Now, I would say IF you did get to something where you could go 'either way' then how would you 'pick and choose'? Well, In this example, on this specific question about the spherical earth and how the 'receivers' understood it, although not required, I was showing you that - EVEN IF - you became confused here and did not know which way to go, then, you could make a 'tie-breaker' with other texts (in which they seem to understand a spherical Earth and so 'if anything' you fall to the majority of clear texts), and, with some historical context. In this case, Israelities along with their related counter-parts (Egyptians, Sumerians etc), and, you realize they knew perfectly well the Earth was a sphere and were well aware of rotation, stars, other planets and actually had some amazingly sophisticated understandings of astronomy. So, EVEN IF you were confused whether Moses was being 'literal' or a text was communicating a 'metaphorical' or 'poetic' passage.. ..your 'easy tie-breaker' would be knowing that historical context, and, it helps more if you know a bit about their 'catch phrases' and 'expressions' and how they used them back then in their language. (not necessary here but helpful sometimes). But none of this is complicated. "I saw a vision of angels holding the four corners of the earth" is EASILY understood by even a child who certainly does not think "God must think the Earth is like a floating bread board d'uhhhhhhh". Honestly. |

If your going to assume your elusive god has always existed, then I might as well assume god[s] don't exist - and that the universe has always existed in some shape or form. No god required. At least the universe is evident - unlike your god. As for your complexity nonsense, well, is your god complex? - if so, who created him? - oh no! it's not a compendium of increasingly complex gods creating gods, is it?...sigh! FYI, I suggest you read: Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? http://www.colorado.edu/philosophy/v.../Something.pdf Main reason for posting: The Bible Guy Although I think he comes across as a decent guy, it's a shame he's using BB as an opportunity to invade our homes with his religious woo-woo. That said, I find him quite entertaining: especially when he takes advantage of the others by thrusting his religious woo-woo on them at the dinner table - where the only escape (walking off) would cause offense. |
