Why didn't Jesus appear to his mother?

[bluehillside Retd.]

Now Hillside is chasing the Base by entertainingly plucking Leprechauns out of his philosophical spiv's overcoat and making them do tricks.

The random word generator is working well this morning.

They are as likely, or not, to exist as god.

Now there's a novel contribution to the discussion. Never heard that point made before.

You are talking about the Hillsidean Leprechaun. A philosophical shapeshifter which starts off in a Hillsidean argument as a jolly little figure of ridicule and ends up having created the universe, being the platonic One, the supreme entelechy and ground of being while still maintaining his ridiculous nature.

Indeed the Hillsidean Leprechaun is so definitionally flexible they are thinking of using them in chewing gum.

In which Vladdo:

1. Continues to lie about the point of the leprechaun analogy - ie, that arguments that produce with equal facility "god" and leprechauns are probably bad arguments; and

2. Misses entirely the jaw-dropping irony of his own explanations of what he means by "God" changing more often than he changes his socks.   

Priceless!

The Biblical god is no more credible, it is anything you wish it to be, hence all the different doctrines, dogmas sect and cults associated with it.

Hillside doesn't believe in Leprechauns LR they are his party piece for the easily pleased on this board. The philosophical equivalent of being able to jiggle your ears at a birthday party.

The lying is strong today. What "they" - ie, the point in logic they illustrate - are actually equivalent to is more like Russel's teapot. It's a point in logic, not about the properties that leprechauns (or orbiting teapots) might have.

Sadly Vladdo has never understood (or has always lied about) the meaning of "analogy", so the point is forever lost on him.

I am good at repetition, as my husband keeps informing me.

You need to work on that I feel.

Really. Ok, lets see what else this alleged misogynist wrote

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

None of which alters the fact that he told women to be subservient to their husbands.
