and thats only due to theological differences

outhouse

yet my education started as a 100% myther following whats her name lol for quite the while before I found more holes in her work then swiss cheese.


Im open to change I have no stake as a strong atheist in a jebus.

yes and this is supposed to be a biblical criticism forum.


You dont go into a medical forum and make statements about nerve cell's that go against the grain of science, and take offense to a question regarding if you have studied the central nervous system before posting why you have a opposing view.

Perhaps that is part of what is causing a problem. Most of the rest of us started our education as little children without having already formed our opinions.
Some of us have read whats her names materials and some have not.
I have, but I have never been a 'follower'. Her voice is just one more among the many thousands whom I have heard.
I am able to accept without bias, what she can prove from solid evidence, and let pass whatever she cannot, or what is still validly open to question.

There is nothing that requires any of us searching for facts to ever confine ourselves to the opinions of any one person.
Sometimes we must weigh opinion against opinion, in this case, although I may not agree with everything whats her name has written, I find whats her names views no greater in their error than those of the error man, or those inclined to 'follow' his particular line of hooey
If I were forced to choose the lesser of two evils......

But really, the choice is not one of 'taking side in the duel' going on between these two; The questions and the working principals of finding and establishing facts did not arise with the opinions of these two, and will never be settled by 'following' the opinions of either one of these.
I have learned of many other ideas, opinions, and perspectives, many of which have been of far more import and value to me, than than that of these.

One thing I learned along the way. Opinion is only opinion, and popular consensus is not a trustworthy source for determining what is fact.

As a Skeptic, I am particularly skeptical of anyone of -any persuasion- who claims to have possession of all of the facts.

Generalized arguments and positions set forth by assertion, no matter by what faction, or how boldly, or how often they are repeated, simply suck.

Precept must be built upon precept, line upon line, Here a little, and there a little.
Cross examine and prove every statement, and put facts into place one by one. Doing so, one does not arrive at popular opinion but at a working knowledge of the facts.

If you think that my judgment of the situation is wrong as to Adam's persistent inability to comprehend the notion of evidence, why don't you report it? However, it seems obvious that all you are doing is trying to be vindictive because I called you on an act of nastiness earlier. I hope you enjoyed the promiscuous pleasure.

It's rather hard to have free discussion when people post here while refusing to adhere to standards of intellectual exchange. Some people tune it. Others tune out.

Is it so hard to practice what you preach?
Why not stop preaching or practice what you do preach?

I'm, sorry, outhouse, but you had the outrageous temerity to post your crud about education after James the Least responded to Adam (who posted church status quo opinions from Peter Kirby's website) saying, "I inquired about evidence, not church orthodoxy". James did ask about evidence, which was quite reasonable. Adam did respond with information based on church orthodoxy, which was not reasonable. You then proceeded to shit on James, which was plain offensive. You should be ashamed of yourself for so doing and for trying to justify your sorry action. :angry:

You are in no position to ask about other people's educations when you have not shown any evidence of your own education. What is one to think of a person who doesn't even know how to use an apostrophe and yet asks about someone else's education?

It's like being in church here, with all this condemnation and attempts to make others feel guilty

Do as I say not as I do.

So you are just going to continue trying to be vindictive.

Look folks, come and see the christian turning the other cheek.
