Is that the rational approach that has led us to the illusion of self?

Haven't a clue what you are on about in relation to what I have said. So I can't answer your question....if you expected an answer, that is.

The same applies to Hitler and Stalin. So?

Jackie Collins gets books published by the gazillion. It is proof of nothing other than a section of the reading public like a good romp.

Have they been talked about for over 2,000 years without having been in newspapers etc?

You see the difference between tabloid and the news media around the world  which wasn't around 2,000 years ago.
Going to have to wait 2,000 years before you can compare.

I know its hard for you to understand Sassy but you brought the idea of contemperaneous comparison up when you queried whether anyone on the board was a published writer as if that had some bearng on the veracity or otherwise of the claims you made.
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

Given the gist of the first few posts I took it that the reference was to Lewis the writer. His fiction and his Christian books like Mere Christianity and the Screwtape Letters.

Again, another thread where the 'personal opinion' outweighs the literary or logical and intelligent aspects of arguments from a learned man to consider Christ being true or false.


Which of you have had books published?

Which of you will be remembered long after their death for personal achievements.

Christ and Lewis have this in common. The things they said and what has been written remain.

Instead of personal opinions based solely on your beliefs let us have arguments concerning what Lewis wrote and evidence to dismiss them.  Dilemma in the making.

Belief is personal choice...isn't it?

Just as your personal opinion and choice decides what you think of others.

So how do you compare the published writers of the bible to the times C S Lewis books were written?

You see Christ coming and his writings about him were before and after him.

CS Lewis was well after both. But how do you comparison?
Red Herring...  why? Do you think you are somehow above average in your intelligence and even more intelligent than believers?

I know it isn't a mistake by you on your part as I was very clear as you see above.


I can only state you have proved me right...

By all means bring an acceptable argument or point of view but don't try blind siding because you believe your opinion of someone shows you believe them to be incapable of seeing what you are saying or what you are up to.  DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.  :(
