I would say he’s too embarrassed to give his actual answer, and he probably should be :lol:


I mean, it's pretty obvious from his posts here that he isn't actually convinced by the bible or whatever. His version of Christianity is entirely self-serving. He gets to be best-friends with the best greatest thing in the universe and it's because he's one of the few special people who see the real truth.

So then answer the question.

If the bible said something patently ridiculous, like 2+2 = 7, that is irreconcilably false, would you still believe it?


Well there would be more to the story if it had theoretically speaking said that. Have you ever heard of something called synergy? It would be something along the lines of 2 people + 2 people working together = the job being done 7 times faster. It would then go on to say how we should be working together to create that synergy.

If synergy is two or more people working together to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects, then 2 + 2 = 7. It just merely depends on what you define 2 to be and how it affects 7.

You're still dancing around instead of answering the question. I've already given a clear explanation of the context and purpose of the question. Time to man up and answer.

If I answer in the positive you would say how stupid I am for blindly believing anything The Bible says. If I answer in the negative you would say that The Bible is flawed.

That leaves one of two possible scenarios. If The Bible gives the context of 2 + 2 = 7, taking into account the use of synergy then it is true. If The Bible says that 2 + 2 = 7 with nothing before or after then it without a doubt a little child took my Bible to use for Mathematics.

You do know what a hypothetical is right? And that I didn't come to that conclusion with Icemage's post.....

Seriously, your critical thought just grinds to a screeching halt when the bible comes up.

I would base hypothetically on something that could possibly happen. Yet the question you asked is based on something that will never happen.

I already answered it. You just don't like the answer because you thought you could trap me with only two possibilities. That's just what the Pharisees tried with Jesus and look how that turned out.

Now, how about you brush up on the foundations of Christianity because at least that has relevance behind it?

Yes, you have. Even if the bible said something ridiculous that was irreconcilably false, and you knew it were false, you would dance around and try to make it true to avoid critical thinking.

Ahh there you go, you admitted that The Bible doesn't say anything ridiculous and irreconcilably false.

There's that lack of critical thought again
