<"But I have shown you a great deal of proof. You may not find it definitive, but you do not appear to be even giving the matter honest consideration.>

No proof is proof, you've linked in a lot of information. Give the idea honest considertation?? I have, I'm not attached either way... to the best of my knowlege he existed.... and that's a very low level opinion... of little import to my overall philosophy or being or whatever. Basically, who cares?

<So, if there was, He was not the mythic figure we read about in the New Testament.>

So............? Are you saying if someone proved he existed it wouldn't change your mind about any validity in the NT?? So why do you care whether he lived or not? I don't get it... you're so circular.

<Son, I read more books before I was ten than you've read in your lifetime! >

LOL... like you said "WOWA" calm down sonny! Besides, that doesn't refute what I said. You either have read nothing on any of the topics I've ever brought up, or you're a good a good faker. LOL

<But how does "the Christian God is without sin" lead you to that unified field non sequitur?? I know you hate being questioned, but it seemed very bizarre to me.>

Well, "maybe" there was some truth there in the beginning.... ever think of that? Just because the church can't enunciate why 'god is without sin' doesn't mean someone didn't know it, and tell someone. Personally I think if they mean 'Jesus' didn't sin, they're wrong, as the church also claims he was subject to being human. But it makes sense that 'god wouldn't sin'... no? I mean, why is this an issue? Can you remind me?

<For what reason do you ascribe knowledge to a TOE? I mean if physics can be reduced to one fundamental force, how does that imply that that force is intelligent?>

Well scientifically speaking, it doesn't. But of course that doesn't mean it ISNT... although I've noticed you seem to come from the bent that things are false until proven true.

<Firstly, you have made asinine assumptions. >

I know... I assume you can remember one post back.. that IS asinine.

<Secondly, the act of investigating the Nature of Truth and the possibilities of the universe necessitates clear premises connected by careful logic.>

Well, connect away!!

< And when I talk about the Christian God I am not talking about Allah.>

But you clearly DONT talk about god (as the above sentence shows), you talk about various religions ideas about god... and you look not for common threads, but for DIFFERENCES, so that you can shoot them down and toss them away one by one. If there IS a god, then they would be the same (obviously) and any perceived difference would be an artifact of that/those religion's understanding.
