If you cannot understand the profound truth in the Bible you are either 1) illiterate 2) an idiot or 3) willfully ignorant because you know that you aren't meeting the standards of biblical ethic

Christianity was evolved from Judaism which predates Roman and Greek polytheism by the way, since you seem to historically uneducated. The Old Testament is older than Greco-Roman civilization

You're right that it's more of a metaphorical mythology, with factual truth weaved in, however that does not make it any less significant or profound, as it is the most scientifically accurate piece of literature which deduces and explains the mysteries of human nature. It is the purest form of truth. Much like Homer's Iliad the Bible is the foundational document of our civilization

Yes, you are confused. That is what I believe the first correct thing you said in 6 Months. I did give 2 references from Wikipedia. By my logic we can disregard those links as valid. Yet I had also posted other links, hence multiple sources. Sources that are trustworthy and sources, like Wikipedia, that are not so trustworthy. Yet they all say the same thing.

What I'm saying is that if you must resort to insults as your first reply then you know you've lost. You made a claim that "Records and knowledge of Ur's existence has been available for thousandsof years before the bible was ever written." Even if you somehow managed to find said record outside of Wikipedia, that still doesn't discredit the Bible.

You obviously didn't read what I had mentioned earlier. I'll quote it for you.



Yeah you have a real hard time trusting anything don't you? Did your best friend stab you in the back when you were younger and now you can't trust anyone? Or did your brother mess up your computer because you left it unlocked when you left to go to the bathroom?

That is a you problem. That's something you need to work out. The evidence that has been presented to us has been good enough to keep this going for over 2,000 years. It's you who needs to come to terms.

Oh I know, your "best friend" was a "Christian" and they ended up hurting you and you never managed to get over what they did? Maybe that's why you made this thread originally. Is this a way for you to cope with having your trust betrayed by those whom you used to trust?

I don't have a problem you do. Christians don't accept the same references when their feelings get proven wrong. You are prime example of I'll just look away and pretend not to see hypocrisy. But when it's the other guy then they are wrong no matter what.
Btw you haven't addressed the actual evidence and the main point. All you did was try and make excuses.

Here is more of the references to support my claim. (since your cop-out of wiki isn't valid tantrum). You are welcome to cry

I'm as good at comedy as you are. Tho with a willing theist to play with it is possible to make a LOT of fun out of them.

playing the mocker and scoffer it what your meant to do

Quote (Vastet @ Jul 15 2023 04:20pm)

Nah my typical strategy in a discussion is to approach it from the same perspective as the participants. I'm mocking and scoffing at you because that's the way you communicate. It's for your benefit. If you were either capable of or willing to participate in a real discussion you'd find I did the same.

Quote (TiStuff @ 15 Jul 2023 19:22)

you came in mocking and scoffing. i gave you the consideration due

Quote (addone @ Jul 16 2023 06:58am)

Well why did you present "untrustworthy" sources to me in the first place?
Then the second someone proves you wrong by your "logic" they are to be disregarded as not valid. It's comical copout



I have provided multiple other sources which say same thing just so you wouldn't wriggle out with excuses. You are welcome

I never said it discredits the bible. I said it doesn't autotically make whats true inside just because it weaves real places. Or can you not read?

Quote (Vastet @ Jul 15 2023 04:25pm)

Yes I did. You were already here mocking and scoffing when I arrived, making it easy to determine mocking and scoffing as the correct entrance.
