@MrShep412 @NotEvolution1 Um, no. None of the books of the Bible are first-person eyewitness accounts. The gospels were collections of stories passed down orally for decades before being written down by anonymous compilers. The closest texts written to Jesus life are Paul’s epistles.

@TiagoP0P @docrussjackson @elonmusk Do communists ban the communist party? The Nazis went after every left-wing party and individual. The killed, arrested, or otherwise expelled their own left-wing members in the night of the long knives.

@natanjia2 @manmuffin466 @atheistnightmrs Sorry, let me say it again. Atheist moral philosophers are, except for a few rare exceptions, manifestly not moral relativists. I’m an atheist moral realists. Most of my colleagues are as well. This idea that atheism commits you to moral relativism is a fabricated lie.

@GDTalbot @endabortionmeme PP closed in many states because they are being defunded. What a childlike worldview to think these organizations shut down because they can’t do abortions and they just love to kill.

@beushausen @DefiyantlyFree So why does damaging my brain alter my mind/ soul if it is an independent substance? Why does stimulating the brain in certain regions cause predictable mental events, thoughts, experiences, etc, to occur? The body is clearly more than just a vessel my soul dwells in.

@srcamachonj Got news for you. Approximately 50% of all conceived ova do not successfully embed in the uterine wall and are spontaneously aborted. The true abortion rather is ~50% of the number of births each year, but no Christian seems to think this is a problem worth addressing.

@5Solas Meanwhile in reality, the early church plundered Plato’s metaphysics of The Good and the doctrine of the Omni-God, Pythagoras’ body/ soul dualism, Aristotle’s Virtue eudaimonism as a model of salvation and the foundation of early Christian ethics, and Zoroastrian eschatology.

@ArkEncounter “Bring a pair of every kind of animal—a male and a female—into the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood.” Gen 6: 19

“A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.”
Gen 7:14

You sure?

@Deigratia1985 @TomorrowsWar I believe the sky is blue. Clearly I don’t cling to and rely upon the sky or its blueness. Believing isn’t trust. Believing is having a cognitive mental attitude that represents its contents as true.

@Sun_of_Solus Do you seriously not get it? For a lot of these men, a men’s only gym isn’t going to help much. Men can and do lust after men, including (in my experience) a genuinely stunning amount of ostensibly straight and conservative ones.

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@manmuffin466 @atheistnightmrs The vast majority of philosophers are atheists, and the vast majority of philosophers are moral realists. Moreover, Kant’s philosophy provides us with one of the single most promising secular approaches to grounding morality, namely constructivism.

@Tsar_Martyr @Gecko1114 Evolution is not inherently atheistic. It makes absolutely no claims whatsoever about supernatural or divine matters. And countless theists the world over accept evolution by natural selection.

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@MrFluferMufin @rootcausesleuth But the Bible never makes that claim. If we’re going to start using science to determine what the Bible says happened in creation, we’re gonna have to give up the 7 day creation story real quick. Sola Scriptura. What does the Bible say, not what does General Relativity say.

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@ThePoliProphet @maklelan I mean there is. It begins by saying “When the lord God made the earth and the heavens…” The story begins with him making Earth and space/ the sky. You are twisting yourself into knots trying to explain away the plain text of the Bible. Are you a literalist or not?

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@MrFluferMufin @rootcausesleuth “In the beginning…” in no way indicates God created time, and it strains against the rests of the Gen 1:1 creation story. We must read the Bible as we find it and now smuggle in our own ideas as to how things must have gone.

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@joshwhitlatch No true Scotsman…

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@ThePoliProphet @maklelan I must also emphasize that while this story focuses on the garden and on Adam’s relationship with God, the story is an account of ALL of creation.“This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth.” Gen 2: 4. It is NOT a story only about the Garden on day 6.

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@ThePoliProphet @maklelan “So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.” Gen 2: 19

So Adam only named the animals in the Garden? Not all of them?

[Logan @loganbohlinger]

@ThePoliProphet @BlackestofLies @maklelan Having just completed some scholarly research into this history of the Bible, I have to say the sheer volume of evidence that the Pentateuch is not by a single author is overwhelming. It’s frankly hard to see how it possibly could be.
