Nah, I didn't.
For the final time - this refers to resurrections occurring in ANCIENT HISTORY, not the resurrection being discussed. No resurrection occurred in ancient history. The very clear...
-
Taliban and Buddha - Jefferson. Apples and oranges.
-
Any history that claims resurrection requires proof. Other history can be taken at face value as one decides.
I never claimed non-belief in the resurrection. Even when your error is explained...
-
Neither is anybody else.
Of course it dilutes Jefferson's accomplishments. Why wouldn't owning slaves do that? Did you expect it to improve his reputation?
-
Comparing the Taliban to your "woke/cancel" nonsense is ridiculous. No one has argued that Jefferson's accomplishments should be erased - no one beside you, that is.
Bringing our history up to...
-
To cite the Bible as proof or evidence of something in the Bible itself is not a valid proof. Much of the Bible has been and continues to be validly proven by archaeology and its related disciplines....
-
When the slave Master approaches his slave with sexual advances, and the slave has no power to refuse those advances, I call it rape. If others (not you, WG) wish to call it a romantic love story,...
-
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation states that the evidence for Jefferson fathering Sally Hemmings' children is conclusive.
Read why here:...
-
Nonsense. It encourages accurate speech. Like anything, some will abuse the idea.
I think it's a good thing to understand that the man who wrote "All men are created equal" owned human beings and...

Excellent link, tomder - one of the best ever! Thanks.
A superb example of critical thinking. Everybody should read that link.
-
-
Sorry, JL, as usual you misread what was written. The reference to a resurrection not having occurred was in ANCIENT HISTORY! The discussion was about ancient history compared to Christian belief in...
-
Give us all a break, tomder, and stop quoting lawyers who support Trump. By now, you should be aware that they are the bottom of the barrel.
I understand you are terrified of Trump's coming...
-
Still playing for the away team, Tom?
-
Good maybes by Krugman. No maybe about the tax increase. Definitely could save the programs.
-
Re-read the informative post by Random36 to better understand the situation.
A counter point is not necessarily mindless, but it is suspiciously so when it's consistent with many other "counter...
-
There is no need for empirical evidence of a resurrection in ancient history (or modern history, for that matter), since no resurrection occurred.
List them.
Here I am.

A bizarre bird indeed is Brinton. But harmless compared to some appointees in the previous administration.
-
Thank you for the good reply exhibiting critical thinking, something often lost on these pages.
Another solid reply showing a good grasp of what has transpired to help explain the current...
-
Most of the planet construes Trump's call as exactly that - an obvious attempt to sway Raffensberger to change the vote count to give Trump the election. There is no other way to Construe the fact.

I didn't know you were asking about what Paul and others believe, so I'll add to DW's answer by giving the Catholic answer.
"The body, which shared in the good and evil of the soul, will likewise...

My answer is quoted right there in your question:
Are you suggesting YOU know where God sends them? If so, where? God doesn't tell me what he does.
-
This is the typical answer Jl gives to many questions about the absurdity of taking Biblical allegories as literal. When he is questioned about a talking snake, he answers with God can do anything....
-
No one chooses homosexuality, just as no one chooses heterosexuality. It's what a person in born with.
There's ample evidence to prove that, and anyone wishing to see that evidence only needs to...
-
That's an excellent point which will go right over the head of a fundie.
Also excellent was your catch of the disinformation by Jl when he wrote "sadistic and hateful". He quickly changed that...
-
Not all know it as satire. In fact, it has been linked here previously as the truth without a warning. To do that is questionable at best; at worst, it is inexcusable.
The racist BLM comment is...
-
Gee, what a terrific, incredibly insightful explanation. Now please tell us exactly HOW did Biden manage to force Putin to invade Ukraine.
Was Lee Harvey Oswald Biden and Putin's go-between?...
-
I must make an exception when such absolute unmitigated BULLS**T is posted here. I encourage everyone who sees this to read the link.
The other post is almost as bad.
Anyone who can't...
-
Until then, I'll stand by my assumption that you agree with my points or you have no coherent rebuttal.
-
For Christian fundamentalists, being taught to suppress critical thinking begins at a very early age. It is the combination of the brain’s vulnerability to believing unsupported facts and aggressive...
-
That's it? That's your entire reply? Hmmm...
For the rest, we can assume you agree or you have no coherent rebuttal.
Just so you know - the Cuban crisis was not the cause of the Russian...
-
I DID answer. I said God can put them anywhere he wants. They go where God sends them.
How about if God just sends them out of existence? If God brought them into existence, surely God can...
-
Three replies to Tomder have been bunched into one. Sorry. Worth reading all of them.
Your link doesn't say that. It says her intelligence people found similar informaton to what Zelensky...
-
Are you opposed to nations, new or old, forming democratic roots? Would you prefer it be rooted in authoritarianism?
Thanks for the history lesson, but I hope there's a point in our future....
-
As long as Ukraine resists, we should continue to support them as we have been doing with weapons, diplomatic support, and pressure on Putin with sanctions.
Signalling to Putin if or when our...

Good. You're thinking.
Calling people stupid doesn't help your plan. Try to resist such language.
It might be hard finding a RATE of investment comparable to the SS program depending on...
-
You should try to improve your disposition. Twenty minutes of meditation twice a day will do wonders for you.
-
Yes. Individuals (the people) act through their elected representatives in government. There is no other large-scale effective way to do it other than via government.
The problems are...
-
It's FUNDED by the taxpayer as is almost all government spending. Congessional legislation backs the program as almost all government programs are backed.
Here's one good idea:
The school...
-
Of course, I answered the question - treat them with understanding and kindness if they don't want to be in his presence. Surely, "...people who refuse to be reconciled with him" covers those who...

It will have been 100 years that the Social Security Insurance program kept millions of seniors out of poverty in their old age. Not bad for a government program, not bad for ANY program.
Now...
-
Social Security is insurance. That does not make it a Ponzi scheme.
The major distortion of anything here is how you have characterized the program as a "massive leviathan nanny state"....
-
DW - thanks for your reply. I am not going to reply point-by-point because it's all been done before and, in my opinion, debunks every point you made. A small "complaint" about you - had you been...
-
These are propaganda words without specifics and therefore with little effective meaning. They do nothing to challenge the meaning of my post about people who will be financially ruined by...
-
I know because far too many people are not savvy enough to manage their old-age funds effectively. These people need others to manage for them. It is naive to think otherwise.
Good for them....
-
We should support any situation as I noted above. The UN was founded for that very reason. NATO was founded specifically to contain an expansionist Russia. As far as Ukraine, this is not the time to...
-
It's easy to criticize Social Security - everybody does it. What is needed are solutions to go along with the criticisms. Privatization is not one of them. It would be an unmitigated disaster.
One...
-
We should support any country that is invaded by a terrorist nation trying to expand its borders such as Russia through seizing another country's sovereign territory. The great example is WW2.
-
I did not associate your R. Young with Young's Concordance. Since if that is the case, you should have made note of the prior reference. However, I will take one error off even though in the larger...
