    I dont come here to teach history to people. You want to prove he met Jesus, go right ahead. You could start with the year Saul was born.
  2. OftenWrong
    Says so in the bible, though It’s been many years since I’ve read it. Saul claimed he had an ecstatic vision of Christ. This occurred a few decades after Jesus was reportedly crucified. So if Jesus was real, he would have been dead by then. Unless by real you people mean... something else?

    Good information. Many people were called Jesus, and crucifiction was a method of execution for prisoners of the state. Many Jewish prophets decried Roman occupation. The Jesus depicted in the new testament was one of those. As for Saul of Tarsus, he never met Jesus. The man who was an executioner of Christians was raised in a bloody and war torn world almost deified himself. He even gave up his life for the belief, but then many Romans died for Caesar as well. And that is what he was selling. Jesus the divine... Roman.

    That's fine by me, but seems non-sequitur. One must differentiate between "believing in Jesus", and believing he REALLY EXISTED. A will to a system is the antichrist. System, Embodiment, Corpus. Incorporated The incorporation of Christ...

    Pretty sure it was four. But hey. Good to hear some public condemnation on the world stage. Shades of things to come, for Mr. Trudeua

    Vacations are nice. Or maybe he's totally checked out of the hotel. Mentally, I mean.

    Oh I see. So you mean he's over at the other forum where everyone always agrees with you. Check...

    Yeah, but what would Jesus nuke?

    He might just be getting to old to post anymore.

    Adam was a fictional character? You did use the word "believe" in the question, and this makes it harder to answer. A belief does not depend on evidence. The sophisms are all we need, imo. We don't need Jesus, he is but a vehicle for these. Hence like straw dogs that are worshipped and then burned to ash, he must be crucified. Again and again.

    Anything that helps Canadians hear more about Justin's "just watch me" moment sounds good to me. Put another nail in his political coffin. It is only by the tone in the media that the electorate subconsciously perceives they need to vote in someone else. Never by direct rational argument.

    From what I understand, there's no physical evidence that empirically proves Jesus existed. Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong, as usual, but the gospels were maintained purely by "oral tradition" for about the first 100 years, before some apparently wise pilgrim decided to write them down. You can imagine things getting a little exaggerated or modified over that stretch of time. But hey. Let's assume they didn't embellish things a little. Then, ya got yer Romanization of Christ. Jesus, the Conqueror, Jesus the Slayer. See also How a Jewish cult took over the empire that originally cast them out of their own land, and overturned the tables, and played a huge joke on them.

    Went grocery shopping. Yes, the grocery store, that social barometer from which we judge our worth and freedom through purchase of consumables. A place where legends are made, where we saw the heroics of our grocery clerks under covid.

    Almost everyone in the place was masked. Not me of course, and a few others.

    It was pitiful to see children still being made to wear it. I walked by one little boy who saw my face, and I gently smiled. Hello there, this is what people look like.

    Walking through Loblaws, it’s like an idiot poll. I’d estimate about 80% of the populace, or more. Some may do it out of peer pressure, like my elderly mother in law admitted.

    You dont have to wear it Ethel, I told her. Fuck the cowards.

      I still wear a mask on the bus - helps keep the B.O. miasma less overwhelming.  On the bus, about 80% of the riders are masked - I guess because most people understand that close confines can result in the spread of many things besides Covid.

      When I go to the grocery store, about 50% of the people are masked.  I don't find it necessary in stores, or the mall, or at work - but some people still do.  Maybe the anti-masker bunch could respect that, instead of calling them names.

      I rode a train, then rapid transit, then bus on my way to work and home for 2 years, Pre Covid.  Masks were not a thing then, and really, since bussing and such started up, no one has worn masks.

      Now, if a person wants to wear or not wear a mask, that is fine.  But the idea of protecting oneself from any bugs or viruses may not be a good thing.

      I think in Ontario masks are still mandatory on public transportation.

    Now theyre giving their chivattos more power in the street. https://torontosun.com/news/canada/ontario-to-introduce-new-measures-to-block-further-blockades Says they can suspend peoples licence and registration and impound vehicles. They’ll do this with their new security fleet of provincial tow-trucks. For that they’ve got time and money. But to alleviate the ongoing crisis in both health care and LTC capacity? ”Look over there!”

    Don Cherry - "You people..." - Immediately gets shit-canned. Donald Trump - "and some, I assume, are good people." - Media goes nuts Justin Trudeau - "Do we tolerate these people?" <Crickets> ... There's no double-standard. That would imply government/media collusion. It's impossible, cannot be. It's just yer bias. /S

    We all live in those. Right now mine intersects with yours. You just don't like my unreality when it conflicts with your unreality. When I explain it to my children, they smile appreciatively. My wife pauses her knitting and nods.

    No just saying one man's ad revenue is another man's cover for leftist propaganda, that's all.

    I used to watch the Weather Network. I would just leave it on. It was non-offensive, non-political and didn't try to upset or frighten me. Now even the weather channel seems to have an agenda. They like to show "extreme weather" news, as if it's becoming the norm everywhere. They don't mention it's in Borneo. Then they got some old guy telling us how this or that storm is due to climate change. Sorry, I thought this was the weather channel, not the climate change channel.

    Not sure. Perhaps a god needs to be flexible.

    I read the bible, not all of it though. I remember it said "it is not what a man puts in his mouth, but that which comes out of his mouth." so eating shrimp's technically allowed, thanks to Jesus...

    What kinda sandwich did he order, anyone know?
