Let's face it Hope, when discussing talking about the negatives/contradictions of Christian beliefs and their reliance on the Bible, I could choose any wall, the Great Wall of Chins, Hadrian's Wall, Wall Street, the Berlin Wall - every single one would give a more reasoned argument that you and your associates.

Ah Peace!
Sorry for speaking, Matt.   :P

It was you who started this thread; if you don't want to hear people's opinions about the subject, why did you start it?  Burying your head in the theological sand won't stop the reality about Christianity's relationship with the laws of the Jews being what I have outlined. 
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

It is not your "speaking" that is the problem, Hope, that is what this forum is for!

It is the total rubbish that you speak that is the problem; along with your total complete and utter inability to accept and form of criticism of Christianit, or that there can be the slightest thing about Christianity that might be unacceptable to people who are not Christian, or even to some Christians other than you, or that you make yourself look like a right fool when you try to deny the undeniable, and your experience of just about anything in the world and what you haven't experienced you know all about from study somewhere or other.

You are welcome to keep posting your rubbish and nonsense, your experiences, your opinions, your encylopaediac knowledge of absolutely everything, just do not expect me to read it with any kind of wonder at your godlike superiority to anyone else on the board or to believe any more than about a tenth of it.

You are going to find that being the superior being is a ruddy lonely existence. Enjoy and farewell!

Sorry ol' buddy but I beat you by one!

Considering the ones I didn't tick, I don't really think either of us is going to get beaten.

I was in danger of looking like a believer, briefly, but then came 'Cursing your Parents' and I was safe... peaked at 3, though.

If only sacrificing animals and eating babies - you know, good old-fashioned atheist hobbies - were listed...

O.
Universes are forever, not just for creation...

New Atheism - because, apparently, there's a use-by date on unanswered questions.

It is the total rubbish that you speak that is the problem; along with your total complete and utter inability to accept and form of criticism of Christianit, ...
Shows how badly you read, Matt.  I and other Christians here regularly accept that the Church has often failed in its role as witness to God's love for the world and that individual Christians haven't always lived up to the standards that Christ set out within his teaching.  Similarly, I am quite happy to hear criticism of Christianity, except for when it is so blatantly wrong that it is necessary to correct the author's errors and - perhaps - lack of understanding or knowledge.

I think the problem with this criticism is that often the claims that you are alluding to aren't even part of my thinking.  There are, for instance, some here who will attempt to tell me and other Christians what we believe and think even though those beliefs and thoughts are probably as far from reality as one can get.  Think, for instance, about the well-known 'Yuk factor' argument within homosexuality threads.

Sorry to disappoint you, but a lot of what I post is no more than restatement of ideas and opinions that have been expressed by others on the forum.  There is relatively little that is exclusive to me.

Good replies BUT how much of what we think is 'understanding' is not just acceptance?
You know as well as I do there are certain ones here who give off such an air, bit stinky I know, of self superiority that Jesus must 'turn in His grave'.

Depends, how many points for ....eating a bacon and monkfish sandwich?

Is there a touch of antisemitism about this thread?

Possibly; but more immature and cheap, as in M29.
BA.

Christianity? Isn't this thread about Judaism?

No - it is about the Christian Bible. Not the Torah!

You say its about the Christian Bible, yet all the examples you have given are from the Jewish Bible.

Technically there's no such thing as the Christian Bible.
It should be..... Torah Part 2 with ADDENDAS

Sorry, Nick, but the New Testament is the Christian Bible.  Christianity is not Judaism, although it developed out of it, because Jewish religious law is not applicable to Christians, however much some here would like it to.

Not quite sure what the relevance of this is to the issue.  Perhaps you could explain your thinking.
