  1. Well, too bad this was not your only comment on the subject. No, you tried to respond until you realized you couldn't actually defend what you were saying, then, like you do, you devolved the discussion into this banter. Except, you didn't demonstrate this at all and you still refuse to actually explain what you mean by word for word... why? Well, this is why: Yes, you keep saying The Bible cannot be taken verbatim or some such terminology, but you won't explain what you really mean by that. I know why, because I explained this to you earlier, that the concept of not taking the Bible word for word is about understanding the historical context for when those words were used as well as knowing when the person writing is telling a story, a parable, or some other such figure of speech. This doesn't jive with your ignorance on divine inspiration as you keep trying to conflate translation with interpretation... More projection...
  2. As long as you want to keep responding with this silliness, I am going to keep calling you out.
  3. If you have to sit here inventing meaning, you are a liar. The simple fact is that he made no threat or demand to change vote counts like you claimed.
  4. When you make ignorant and wrong comments about religion, that becomes the subject.
  5. If you want to pretend you don’t know you were crying, OK. Back to the subject where you were posting ignorant things about religion then!
  6. People like @herbie have no clue how the world works. He will be crying about how Russia is invading Ukraine and that we must do more to help Ukraine, and then he is here crying about the military, you know, being a military ready to fight wars and field modern equipment to deal with adversaries like a Russia. Then he has the audacity to cry about how America should be doing more.
  7. No, this is a mission of mercy and compassion for the ignorant like yourself. You are unable to defend your ignorant comments about Christianity and these are the sad games you have to play now. More projection. No, for me once in his life he is on the right side.
  8. Of course Mr extreme partisan is here telling us all the investigations Democrats ran against Republicans were legit and all the ones against Democrats now are corrupt. Sure Jan.
  9. Yep. It’s a deceptive tactic to just obfuscate the discussion rather than deal with the subject:
  10. What was the generic accusation? Sigh... sure. Here is one example of a thread where you never responded and ran away:
  11. No, it was not the exact assertion you started with. Wrong again. I have already addressed your ignorance of what was meant here. Once again, if you refuse to explain yourself, there is nothing to not comprehend. You certainly are not able to articulate why anything I said was stupid. That is not all you said. I do enjoy Legos, but that has nothing to do with your ignorance of basic concepts regarding Christianity.
  12. Then get a diary... stop responding to me like I said things I did not. Sigh... sure dude. You ran away from almost all of them, if not every one of them. Understand here: Try responding to the things I actually say. It is no older than your outdated, long ago debunked example from India...
  13. So, now you make up an entirely new assertion about the motives behind the Bible?! ROFL Where do you get that the intention of the Bible was not meant to be taken verbatim from? Again, it is not a comprehension issue when you refuse to supply anything substantive to comprehend. You can stop pretending/lying now about your motives as well, your mask is off now.
  14. This is a lie. There is no such threat on that tape nor demand to "change the vote count" like you assert. It is why you are a coward and run and hide and won't actually provide the quote.
  15. Nowhere did I say to force people... Why do you have such a hard time responding to things I actually say? We have already been in several discussions before now where you have been proven wrong on this. There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary and those who do not. Like, again, you are going off on things I have not said... LOL, sure dude: " As the Australian epidemiologist Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz has pointed out, even though the Uttar Pradesh authorities directed medical officers to start giving doses of ivermectin to patients being treated for COVID-19 in August 2020, a sharp rise in cases and deaths followed anyway, then subsided. What actually happened was that authorities began a testing and treatment campaign as cases rose, going door-to-door and advising those who tested positive to quarantine themselves and giving them a medical kit that may — or may not — have included ivermectin. But only 5 million kits were handed out among a population of as many as 250 million. Advertisement Voices Hiltzik: Ivermectin, another bogus COVID treatment, becomes a darling of conspiracy-mongers July 22, 2021 Even if the drug were 100% effective, Meyerowitz-Katz observes, “that’s simply not enough to even make a dent in the state’s numbers.” In any event, authorities imposed a strict lockdown in April 2021, around the time that cases spiked. Uttar Pradesh also had a successful vaccination drive, with 78% of the eligible population vaccinated by the end of 2021. By then, COVID had swept through Uttar Pradesh, suggesting that much of the population had acquired some natural immunity. Put it all together, and ivermectin’s possible role in the state’s experience wanes nearly to nothing." https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-03-31/ivermectin-doesnt-work-against-covid-19-study#:~:text=Ivermectin%2C touted as a treatment,may not — have included ivermectin.
  16. You offered nothing to comprehend beyond a vague comment and refused to offer more. So simple you can't articulate actual substantive responses anymore and are melting down now. I already explained what I meant by not taking the Bible word for word... still waiting on you to do the same. Talking about yourself now?
  17. The issue is not comprehension when you are using vague terms and refuse to explain what you mean. Well, you are a legend in your own mind. And whatever you have said I have responded to as well. LOL, here you go again not understanding what interpretation means. Declaring yourself right doesn't make it so. Ah, yes, the No True Scotsman fallacy now! I am not interested in your sexual fantasies about me, keep them to yourself. Do I even need to point out the duplicity of yours here as you say no one is picking on my "imaginary friend?"
  18. Translation: You can't defend or articulate yourself when faced with a challenge here. So instead of admitting that, you play this game instead. Feel free to contribute a substantive response if you can. Well, yes, your comments are simple and do not grasp basic concepts of Christianity and you conflate things like translation with interpretation. Even now, you still don't understand what interpretation really means, as it is a subjective thing that is influenced by an individual's perceptions, bias, convictions, and views. Yes, you keep saying The Bible cannot be taken verbatim or some such terminology, but you won't explain what you really mean by that. I know why, because I explained this to you earlier, that the concept of not taking the Bible word for word is about understanding the historical context for when those words were used as well as knowing when the person writing is telling a story, a parable, or some other such figure of speech. LOL, now you just make an outlandishly absurd claim that every single Christian sect or group agrees with you. LOL This doesn't upset me, it disappoints me that you resort to such silly comments like these. Projection on your part.
  19. No, we like the whole amendment. No, just a coward like you. Neither of you can actually engage in any substantive argument here to support your nonsense.
  20. So, still going to cry about being off topic then? Well, next time, don't say ignorant and wrong things that are off topic. If it is over, why are you still crying?
  21. As usual, you avoid the actual point. You are sitting here crying about why Trump is not investigating more people, and the point is that if there were more people to investigate, why didn't Biden do it? The further point being, you are one of the most blatantly biased partisans on this forum and you only operate from that view point and work backwards ignoring all fact, logic, and reason along the way. Thats it? That is your big evidence? OK, I will email someone saying you were on the island too. I guess that is "evidence" you were there! If Trump was suspect #1, why didn't Biden do anything about it for 4 years?
  22. No, I don't. Feel free to explain how. Yes, that is exactly what you are doing and continue to do. Now you are trying to have it both ways, trying to say The Bible is not wrong... but humans wrote it and they are imperfect. So, which is it? Explain what you mean when you say we can't take it word for word. I have already pointed out the problems with your use of this terminology. Being unclear is not an error, and you just got done saying The Bible is not wrong. I already explained to you why being unclear doesn't make something wrong, and being "unclear" is a subjective claim anyhow. Yet... you keep downplaying it by saying imperfect men wrote it, and that we can't take it word for word, still not grasping the concept of divine inspiration. The issue was not if something was imperfect, in conveying the author's intent, though. What can't be taken literally word for word? You speak of this in vague, general terms. Are you saying absolutely nothing in The Bible can be taken lierally word for word and as I asked before, what do you think that means when you say "word for word?" LOL, you chose to trying to deride me instead of responding to my comments, that is emotional and even now, instead of dealing with what is being said, you continue to go after me. IF something I said is irrational, then make that argument and respond to what I say. So... back to the beginning, you are downplaying the Bible and continue to fail to understand the meaning of divine inspiration. OK, then explain how in one breath you say we can't read the Bible and take it word for word because the people who wrote it were flawed, but then say The Bible is not flawed. You are literally sitting here saying we can't take The Bible at its word. Interpretation is a matter of personal subjectivity. You continue to conflate the concepts of translation and interpretation. You are just asserting the same thing you did before and ignoring my previous response: If 2+2=4, that doesn't cease to be true or accurate because I disagree. It is not that "it is from God" it is the concept of divine inspiration. You keep arguing we can't take The Bible at its word because it was written by men... You get over yourself. You made ignorant comments and clearly do not understand basic concepts of Christianity. So, in your brilliance, you don't need any military, because you are not at war! What if... someone else starts one? You are such a brain-dead simpleton.
  23. Or, stop hiding like a coward and actually deal with counterarguments that challenge your crap assertions. Even the one you are making now is BS.
