Hi Starlight. Good evening.
Haven't you learnt anything Starlight, of all your time you have been here on RF? I haven't been on RF very frequently recently, but it does worry me that you are asking the same type of questions that you have for months, perhaps even going back over years, ago...
Expect anything less? It's Mace Windu/Samuel L Jackson. Even his lightsaber has BMF (****** mother ****er) inscribed on it.
That's the power of the dark side, the power of giving over to anger and hatred.
You forgot the ten year difference in year of birth of Jesus. Luke used the Census of Quirinius as a lame excuse to get him to Bethlehem. That census was in 6 CE. Matthew has him born while Herod was still alive. Herod died in 4 BCE.
Yeah, I have a very ow view of humanists. They are at the bottom of the pecking order, so I don't know why you copied and pasted their nonsense here. The humanist view is totally irrelevant and not valid in any way shape or form. Humanism is a fake theory down to it's very core, as it has no...
Is this a gee up?
The bible is full of contradictions, hundreds and hundreds of them. And I think if you believe there isn't hundreds of them, then you have been brainwashed.
Here's just a few:
Examples of New Testament Contradictions
Both genealogies begin with Jesus’ father, who is...

When I think attractive masculinity, Trump isn't even the last thing to pop into my mind. Trump is more like failed unattractive masculinity.
Christians continue to amaze me.

At least, that was my takeaway from a recent Politico interview with Samuel L. Perry, a sociologist of religion and author of the book Addicted to Lust: Pornography in...
What can I say, but to say you would not offer that about Abdul-Baha, if you had met Abdul-Baha. I could offer more of my thoughts, but that is most likely erroneous, so let's try a metephor with your posted meanings of sackcloth, which Abdul-Baha also would have known about.
Since the...
Revelation 11:3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
From your link to Abdul Baha's' interpretation of Revelation 11...
It is said they were “clothed in sackcloth”, meaning that they appeared to wear not a new raiment but an old...
Regarding your belief that God can't be wrong, I'd like to revisit the questions I posed to you in another thread. I hope you'll answer them this time.
If God is never wrong about anything, then why does the Bible state that he regretted creating human beings as well as every animal, every...
In the Middle Ages, whole religious orders were formed to pray for, and collect money to buy back slaves from Islamic countries. This is stunningly different from the history of every other religion.
Slavery began again, in 1435 in the Canary Islands. The pope immediately issued the bull...
The push for human rights developed because of Christianity. Christianity alone stubbornly insisted that each individual was of inestimable value, and the idea revolutionized the world.
The idea of the equality of human beings was introduced in the very first Christian documents...
The Song of Deborah is fairly straightforward and pretty much is what it seems to be.But what does that have to do with academic versus fundamentalist readings of the ancient Hebrew scriptures?
Perhaps you believe that one historically accurate (more or less) fragment of the text, dating to the...
Time the Pentateuch is relevant as well as the origin of the contents. It is a given that oral traditions, songs, stories, myths and beliefs are included in the Pentateuch when it was compiled along with Sumerian, Babylonian, Canaanite/ Ugarit. Phoenician sources found in their ancient known...
I believe the academic analysis dates this after 600 BCE based on the linguistic, cultural and vocabulary used.
Dating Deborah
The Song of Deborah (Judges 5) is often seen as an ancient text, perhaps one of the oldest in the Tanach, but analysis of its language and contents suggests that it is...
Where Carrier said that was actually about the James reference. He put together a paper in 2012 with a summary of the arguments as well as his own.
This James passage was unknown to Origen (despite his explicit search of Josephus for Jesus material in his answer to Celsus). All claims to the...
Adam and Eve is an older story, there are many versions. An African version has the serpent telling the woman to eat the forbidden fruit.
The serpent isn't a "devil", it's a being who gives knowledge to creatures. The story is a metaphor in many ways. Heavenly gardens, first man/woman and...
you still have nothing to say about Jesus’ miracle. You are still ignoring water into wine. Instead you talk of olive and cheese, and rivers and mountains, etc.
Thanks, I am going to ignore you.

In the news, a US tax payer funded, nonprofit, national news organization; NPR or National Public Radio, which is supposed to be news neutral, has been shown to have used a totally Left Wing biased coverage of important news cycles since 2016. This was obvious for years, but covered up with...
