Theism vs Atheism...IN PICTURES!

Actually, the earth was thought to be round as early as the 200's.

Learned this from Dr.Pizza yesterday

You mean 200's BC right?

Seminars. Yes, that's exactly what I said. I said I sat through seminars.



You're trying to force the verses to mean something they're not intended to mean. Pretty typical, actually. Most Christians do this too. In case you didn't get it, I was being sarcastic with the drunk remarks. See, that's yet another reason I know you're just fucking around trolling.

Your Trolling +1

Edit: P.S., I thought you said you were done trolling this thread?

Well siminary is per definition seminars in one course so... Are you going to argue that the textbook definition is wron about this one too?

I believe the verse (singular) means exactly what all 17 versions of the bible says it means and since the original Hebrew text is long gone and the translated Arameic is exactly what the KJV says it is...

You really don't have a fucking leg to stand on you stupid twat.

I've read your posts in other threads where you claim to know more than any known version of the Bible and it's quite fucking reatarded, stop doing that, you don't know more than the original translation, you really fucking do not know more than that.

On the old testament, i'll challenge you any day of the week, see i'm Jewish by Heritage and i read Hebrew just fine.

I'm just excited because I know how to find prime numbers now.

I think I said in the post yesterday that it was at least 500 BC. It's pretty obvious to anyone when they look at the sun and moon "hey, those are round!", when they observe a lunar eclipse and solar eclipse and think about it a little bit, and when they watch ships go sailing off toward the horizon. "Hey, I can only see the top half of the ship now."

I was just reading a book about the history of mathematics. I'm amazed at how much the Greeks were actually trying to understand nature and the universe. (Not just doing math for the sake of math.)

Mathematics - The Loss of Certainty
Morris Kline (author of Why Johnny Can't Add, among others) Published about 30 years ago.

One of the professors at the college my wife was attending for her BS in nursing retired. A math professor. And, he put a ton of books out on a table free for the taking for anyone interested. I have bathroom reading material for the next 10 years.

So how hard was the battle with other people over the math books? :^D

Real tough battle - my wife was able to spend 10 minutes selecting as many books that looked interesting that she could carry.

A religious person having an intelligent discussion? is that possible?

 

[stevyangie]

I have had this discussion between atheists and religious people so many times, but in general I can say that religious people usually are more dogmatic, they have a bigger problem with respecting different opinions and world views.

No but everyone who reads it today are reading it in English or a version translated from the KJV or NIV so it really doesn't matter when dealing with todays Christian movements.

It's universally accepted that even though Paul was a common thug who destroyed Jesus's own Church (Church of Jerusalem) and had his visions just like Mohammed, he's the authority of Jesus and so he's the dominant figure in the NT.

The original texts had both Marias diary and no mention of Paul what so ever, not John the Baptist either but they were scrambled together to make it into what it is today.

All in all, no one can EVER claim to have read the original texts because most of them were destroyed by the Romans a long time ago.

In a way, this post is kind of disturbing in that it illustrates how people believe in a text that's been translated a number of times (no doubt by groups who had various political and other agendas), and that cannot be compared to the original. How do you know the message is "right"? A simple example could be:

Thou shalt not kill.

Did the original text use the word "kill"? Did the original authors use a word that had some nuance like "murder" (i.e. killing in self defense is ok? State-sponsored execution is ok? War is ok?) How the fuck do you know, or do you just assume? Do you look to the Pope and tradition and just go along with what everyone else says? If so, isn't that wrong?

dude, you realize their was a lot of things proven by science that you'd get killed for repeating.

Well considering some thought the moon and sun were from holes in the sky more or less, round didn't link them to the earth (which was also believed to be the center of the universe).

You just reinforced the message of the picture with your post.

:hmm:

I assume you meant seminary. What you posted is not the definition of seminary. The level of retard in this one line is mind blowing.

No, I never know their was.

I said it before and I'll say it again.. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
