And your point being?

There must be another dozen members posting here by now. I have no problem with that if the moderators leave them up.

I will not consent to the OP having the privilege of inviting them unless I am given the same privilege.

That's not negotiable.

I think you are scared.

 

[ding]

So I guess we're finished.

The reason why you can't face up to losing is because you can't bear to accept that your life since you became a child believer until now has been the living the lies.

You're not going to change now, even though you are smart enough to know it.

You're always welcome to say that the bibles are not literally true again and then again say they are allegorical accounts.

That seems to work for you, and it works fine for me too. You can get to decide who won the debate! LOL

You said you wanted to understand why I don't believe they are lies. Was that a lie?

If you run now, I'll never let you live it down. Ever.

It might be a good time to use this topic to root out a literal bible believer? I think that so far I've only been able to smoke out 'The Hawk'.

Are there any others?

No. It's a good time to show how full of shit your arguments are. The clock is still ticking. Don't puss out and run away.

What's the next lie you would like to discuss? You said they were all lies, right? Pick another one and explain why it's a lie and then I'll give you the adult explanation.

How about the fall of man or the tower of babel or the flood?

For those interested, the debate is over. See my post #19, in which Ding refers to Genesis as an allegorical account as opposed to a literal accounting.

That's always been his position on the bibles, and hence Genesis as contained in the bibles. That is of course my position and understanding too!

Sorry that nobody else are allowed to post here, when others are being permitted to post in the other topics in the 'Bull Ring'.

 

[Donald H]

Can you just grant all ,members blanket permission to post here and then inform the moderator? It seems that he's eliminated all the posts of others and that's a rule that's only being applied here.

Although the debate has ended with you agreeing with my position, some other members could be interested in having the truth crammed up their asses too?

Nope. It's you and me. What's the next lie you want to discuss?

No one is going to save you.

It just seems like a waste of your insults and your childish behaviour if nobody else can comment.

 

[Donald H]

Allegorical jesus has saved me and all other atheists. If that can work for Jordan Peterson, it can work for me!

As for literal saving, I save some rare coins as a hobby sometimes!

If you believe that Genesis is not literally true but is alegorically true, then our literal believers on this board are going to send you to fire lake for sure my friend! Would you like to change your mind on that now.

That offer expires in 1 hour!

 

[Donald H]

You're allowed by 'Aye can't see 'you's' rules that you can call in reinforcements. I would suggest trying for Meriweather. Just remembeer that I need to be granted the same privilege.

I want Hobelim in this discussion.

They can read them. They can use the reaction button. But let's be honest, you feel stuck here because you play games and are disingenuous and are now forced to make an adult argument because of this format. So let's get on with it. What's the next lie that you want me to provide the adult explanation for?

 

[Donald H]

No. It's a good time to show how full of shit your arguments are. The clock is still ticking. Don't puss out and run away.

I'll do the tower of babel.

The Catholic Church does not directly believe the Tower of Babel story, but it does see echoes of this event in the early Church. In the New Testament, the Tower of Babel is associated with the division of languages and the birth of the Church234.

Not literally true! Echoes? I don't need no stinkin echoes amigo!
Agreed!

That's 2/0 for me.

I've been explaining the creation account to you. What I said in the very first post is how you should state my belief. If you promise to do that from now on, we can end this. But I'm not ending it until you stop misstating what I believe.

My position is that the account of Genesis were allegorical accounts of historical events and important truths that were passed down orally for thousands of years before being recorded in writing. We are obliged to read the text as written, which includes literal and symbolic aspects that are properties belonging to the author’s descriptive portrayal of reality.

 

[ding]

I'll do the tower of babel.



Not literally true!
Agreed!

That's 2/0 for me.

How do you know? What is it that you think it's about?

 

[ding]

That's 2/0 for me.

Not even close. I've lost count of the number of times you have tried to get out of this.

No one is getting called in. It's you and me, mano a mano. You can run but you can't hide.

Biggest fruit loop on the board.

Nope! You believe that Genesis is an Allegorical accounting and that ain't no stinkin' literal account!. Just get on board with me on that and we're done!

That's not negotiable!

At least you're learned what 'allegorical' means!

Now how about that tower that never was?

I literally just spelled out my position in agonizing detail. It's the adult explanation. Maybe try using it in the future.

Tell me what you think the Tower of Babel is about. Please share with me your highly intellectual understanding of the Tower of Babel. I need to know why you think it's a lie. I'm willing to bet that what you think it means is a lie and what I think it means makes sense.
