I'll third it!  Your posts are great.  Even if I or anyone else doen't entirely agree with you, it is a pleasure to read what you write.  Personally, I am often transported to a place full of wonder when I am reading them.  The forum would be far duller without you.
So stay please.

Floo/torri/ippy...

You all know very little about science else you would see the line of logic I'm following marries up well with modern science, and you know even less about Jesus Christ who you condemn mercilessly.. You slam and slur his name as if the millions who have found great store from his words are of no consequence and just don't matter.

Jesus faced the same dilemma and went to his disgraceful slaughter knowing he was doing it just for them.

Now...as I see it...there are those, today, who openly confess to be on the side of the crucifiers and those who totally object to them...This might be the key feature in Almighty God's, not so far off, Judgement.

Repentance costs very little except a little humble pie and humbleness is the way to tapping into that free energy...God's Fountain of Living Waters.

I feel I have outstayed my welcome so I'll leave you to your own devices...perhaps if I see Bashful Anthony posting back on here in the future I might be tempted to return...but I don't hold much hope.


Oy!
You can't go now, NM.....I've only just been able to access the forum after a year!
I've missed your 'unique' take on interpretation.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Welcome back, Jim! Wonderful to see you posting again! I was quite concerned as to what had happened to you, until Jeremy mentioned you could not access the board.

I'm probably a dynamic energy version of a figment of my own imagination....:D

I don't think any of us what you to leave the forum NM. :(

This is something I find difficult to fathom, as when Nicholas is posting, Floo, you refute his every post. It can't be easy for him to labour on and on with constant rebuttals.

Looks as though you'll have to encourage Tony back as well if Nick is going to return.

Nearly everyone rebuts him, SP, but he is never nasty in response;  he's well liked.  Posting with Nicholas illustrates how easily one can attack a post, but not the poster.  Nick does that with great ease and, most of the time :D, the rest of us return the courtesy.

Of course I refute his posts, it doesn't mean that I don't think his unique version of faith isn't entertaining though. NM certainly livens up the forum.

And you are looking even more stupid than usual!  ::)

You wish!  You just dislike the fact, I am not like the usual people you argue with.
I have answers you don't wish to face or be questioned about.
That isn't okay for you because you have no reasoned arguments when faced with the reality of the things I cause you to question. You realised yet that you can't run forever...

No. You do not choose what to believe you cannot do that.

I think you have been told that before?

You do choose and what proves it, is the amount of arguments you produce from the people you have learned the information from which you based your choices on.

Most arguments produced are from people like Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the lady whose name escapes me who died. You have nothing of yourself for your decisions just repeat what you have learned from others and reasoned to make your choice.

Flying teapots and all the other silly remarks made by people shows a decision made by the self.

No you need to do your homework Sassernach. Humans have not been fully modern human for that long, mostly a figure of 200,000 years is now widely accepted, and even so we haven't been in China that long, the migrations out of Africa into Asia were around 50,000 years ago.  The oldest monotheist religion developed out of earlier forms of Judaism around 6th century BC, although others hold that Zoroastrianism or Akhenaten's Sun God have valid claims to be the oldest. The start of the drift away from polytheism and animism is probably marked by the agricultural revolution when we humans began to lose our intimate and wide connections with nature, becoming separate from it by living in villages.  Hence mythologies like the Garden of Eden that might reference ancient folk memories of the halcyon days when our hunter gatherer ancestors simply went and found food in the forest, and were not tied to the land labouring all year round to grow it.

I see you missed the program...

Ignorance and evasion in action is what you are in your answer.  So never can be correct on matters of faith. You simply lack  ability,  the ability to make a reasoned or well thought out post in your own favour. :)
