@Audie, I don't believe Jesus was a lamb but rather the lamb. Baa baa....

Yes it is. But remember that even Saul (Paul) didn't know he was persecuting Jesus, until the Lord came to him. So we understand why you'd say that.Audie wrote:No "literal or lamb" for you.Kurieuo wrote:@Audie, I don't believe Jesus was a lamb but rather the lamb. Baa baa....
Its saying something about the barbie tactless?
Happy ur views are similar to my uncles views . He is also a deist . When we start talking religion and science he starts salivating at the mouth because he likes that he will get some good engagement out of me , and we go at it for hours in a very spirited way . He even got me to stop him in a Mormon temple when he was here on a trip from beirut where he lives .HappyFlappyDeist wrote:Hmm...

No, evolution and science do not draw people away from (a) god(s); what draws( or polarizes) people away are the actions of religion, the thirst for freedom to do whatever they want that isn't found in most religions ('sin'), and the complete absurdity of literal creation myths (I.E socrates). Science is usually used a way to rationally defend one's disbelief -contrary to what most people will say who don't believe-, not normally the sole leading cause. Something else is probably driving (causing the thirst for) the disbelief, science is just that liquid hydrogen rocket helping to propel disbelief to it's zenith ( It rationalizes disbelief).
Good question happy, wish I knew, this was back when I was obsessed as a believer in evolution . He didn't mind that topic at all. Maybe it has to do with the fact that his wife is a very devout church gore and that reminds him of church . She will be at mass every day while he will be out playing cards all day long with his friends.HappyFlappyDeist wrote:What's keeping him from discussing the shroud of turin I wonder... I view it as an intriguing topic but not one to run from.
I envy the ability to do that.... I'd love to confuse people.I cracked up when he used to talk Danish and then switch to French in mid sentence .
Yea he loves to fool people and has a thing for proving his intellectual superiority over others as well.HappyFlappyDeist wrote:I envy the ability to do that.... I'd love to confuse people.I cracked up when he used to talk Danish and then switch to French in mid sentence .
Onto your uncle's views on the shroud; I view it as strange that a man who's portrayed as a staunch deist would shy away from such a trivial topic such as the SoT solely because it reminds him of his wife going to church on Sunday. Forgive me when I say that sounds like insecure faith in his belief system.
