Mr. Greatest I Am, : 1. - You state an answer, but fail to clarify what it is an answer for. 2. - I seem at a loss as to what exactly is the meaning of : "...is foe you ta look at definitions...". 3. - What definitions am I supposed to "look at in Webster". 4. - Who or where or what is this "Webster" of which you speak? 5. - Are the definitions of "foe" and "ta" what I should "look at", or they what you are not planning on re-writing? 6. -Again, I always try to do my best to answer any questions that are asked of me. However, it SEEMS, to me, that you do not SEEM to try to answer questions I ask of you, Mr. Greatest I Am, I repeat, it SEEMS to me that you do not SEEM to. I ASK, is that your idea of the definition of RECIPROCITY, I repeat, ASK? 7. - Is this...!?game?!...!?playing?!...!?whatever?!...you deem to call it, that you, Mr. Greatest I Am, SEEM, to me, dmoe, is/are practicing, engaging in, trying to pass off as true discourse, going to continue as you, SEEM, to me, dmoe, insist on - or, will you, Mr. Greatest I Am, at some future time, actually truly ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS POSED TO Mr. Greatest I Am ?!! 8. - If you do not "plan on re-writing the English language", Mr. Greatest I Am, may I be allowed to inquire just exactly what are your plans with these Posts and how they relate to me, dmoe, in any way? 9. - I may have asked you this before (probably did not receive an answer) but do you, MR. Greatest I Am, actually think prior to speaking, writing or posting, and/or read/re-read your Posts prior to "clicking" on the "Post Quick Reply" button? 10. - I will, in all honesty, probably NOT be anxiously antici....................................................whew!...........................................................pating a full and courteous response or reply to my questions/observations/viewpoints from Mr. Greatest I Am.
I expect that that's what GIA would argue. However, the death of Jesus Christ is not "human sacrifice" except in the most egregious semantic-manipulating sense. We also commend soldiers who sacrifice their lives on the battlefield but we don't call it "human sacrifice".
We no longer stone fornicators and gays, where secularism has taken over and we no longer say that men deserve to rule over women just because they are men. So I would say we have improved some. I do agree thought that our human nature has not changed. Regards DL
Just to update you a bit. http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_bales_how_to_combat_modern_slavery.html Regards DL
I know what I know and I never said that others did not unless you have something in mind. You seem to be putting a lot in my mouth that I have not said. Tighten up. You would not want us to think that you are a liar. What do you find ignorant about my beliefs? They are benign and I do not push them on others. Regards DL
I hear that a lot from fools. If Christians do not believe in human sacrifice then how is it that they are all lined up to ride their human sacrifice scapegoat Jesus into heaven? If that is not embracing human sacrifice and trying to profit from it, what is it? This I gotta hear. Regards DL
Yes. When they die fighting an enemy or saving their friends from enemy fire. In this case, if we follow that analogy, the C O threw the grenade and then ordered his son to lay on it. That is the sign of an insane God. Regards DL
Human sacrifice means humans killing other humans to appease ther gods. Jesus sacrificed himself and Christians admire him for that. The people who killed him weren't even Christians. You really should learn the basic terminology before you make such ridiculous claims.
"I have Gnosis or knowledge. Faith without facts is for fools." Not too worried about what you think. "The fact that Christians do not promote their laws over secular law indicate that they are aware of the immoral nature of their genocidal son murdering God and the draconian laws that Christians would put in place." "Christians believe that human sacrifice is a moral thing to do so I would question their morals and other opinions to see if they are as wrong and immoral as that one." "Way too dumb for me. We re done here." Keep pushing.
You should really learn the tradition of the Passover Lamb before you dismiss the idea. (Ever heard the phrase "Lamb of God"?)
Are you serious? You think using the metaphor of a sacrificial lamb means Christians believe in human sacrifice? You could argue that Christians believe that the sacrifice of one man was beneficial but that's a far cry from saying that they "believe in human sacrifice". Have you ever heard a Christian say that Christians "believe in human sacrifice"?
I didn;t say that modern Christians literally believe in human sacrifice. No, this is just another example of modern Christians not understanding their own mythology. The Christian religion was originally a Jewish cult. These rituals were very important to them. The "fact" that the crucifixion coincided with Passover was crucial to the entire symbology.
You meant all of my beliefs and not just my religious beliefs. You should have said so. That is what I spoke to. So which of my beliefs is offensive and why? Regards DL
I have GIA on ignore... Have for ages. This is what my own study has shown me. Don't get me started on the ritualistic/symbolic cannibalism associated with the Last Supper. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Grok on! :cheers:
I doubt that you're qualified to assess anybody's sanity. Yes, sacrificing yourself to yorself is nonsensical but that's no excuse for you to make equally nonsensical statements. If you want to point out the flaws in somebody else's religion, it's more effective if you make sense yourself.
What is this if not embracing barbaric human blood sacrifice. [video=youtube;YoHP-f-_F9U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoHP-f-_F9U[/video] Regards DL
