    What is the Sense, and Justification, in Calling Jesus "the Truth"?

    Hmmm well Kemosloby that sounds very hopeful of you. I think the verse is sort of poetic, and I doubt it's a direct quote rather strongly. I think that, if you were an Elvis Priestley fan and you owned all of his records, even decades after his death you could have visions of him appearing to...

    First Journal of Omega Green: On the Fruits of a Christian/Atheist Synthesis

    SUNDAY 29/09/2016 : WHAT IS THE MATRIX? Aside from being a film trilogy that some liked, others grew disappointed by its conclusion; some even claimed that the Matrix part 3 was too much like Christianity. My youth Pastor took us all to see Matrix part 1; and after it finished he told us that...

    First Journal of Omega Green: On the Fruits of a Christian/Atheist Synthesis

    (I had to shorten that significantly due to a word limit. If it has no flow blame whoever sets the word limits :-P).

    First Journal of Omega Green: On the Fruits of a Christian/Atheist Synthesis

    25th September 2016, This is my first attempt at a journal; and if we can unanimously agree that it sucks, then it will also be my last. I thought I would say a word or two about juxtaposing opposites in the larger aim of finding balance. I was an evangelical Christian for basically 3 years...

    What is the Sense, and Justification, in Calling Jesus "the Truth"?

    "A truth stands a truth whether or not you can receive it correctly." Thus, by implication you wish me to suppose that Jesus stands as Jesus whether or not I can receive that correctly? Fair enough; i'm just trying to get at the attribute responsible for Jesus being called "the truth".

    In that case Bob would be an implicit Atheist. :0 and he does seem happy with his bricks!

    What is the Sense, and Justification, in Calling Jesus "the Truth"?

    I'm aware of the expression in John's gospel; "I am the way the truth and the life, and no man come to the father but by me". What i'd like to establish is the sense in calling a person "the truth"? - Does this simply mean to imply that Jesus was a truth-telling person? Because technically...

    Sources for Anti-Religious/Strong Atheism [Atheists Only]

    I understand a-theism to literally break down to "without theism"; just as atypical means without type; asymmetrical means without symmetry. In the same fashion exactly, atheism means without belief in the existence of a god or gods. I am a fan of some of the positive arguments; and theodicy...

    Doppelherz - Invitation to Discuss & Interpret the last words of Marilyn Manson

    I would argue that - in relation to the doctrine of a supernatural personal god; that Manson is probably an atheist. He himself however has commented at times, that processes such as creativity, count for some sense of "God". I've also seen him formerly declare himself "not an Atheist"; and...

    Doppelherz - Invitation to Discuss & Interpret the last words of Marilyn Manson

    Fair enough, I might try it over on the music forum. Thanks. Though the points of doppelherz are in favor of some kind of atheistic relativism, one could argue. Belief in God is certainly criticized here.

    Doppelherz - Invitation to Discuss & Interpret the last words of Marilyn Manson

    Has anybody attempted to analyze this Marilyn Manson video? Maybe it's not as good a conversation-starter on-line for some reason... Seems not to be... :/

    Dating

    Has anyone ever dated anybody before because of the persons family deciding that you would be a good match? Sort of like a blind date arranged by someones family?

    Did Zoroastrianism influence Christianity?

    There's a book called The Christ: A Critical Review and Analysis of the Evidence for His Existence by John Remsberg, which was the first book on this subject that I ever read; I used to know of a site that stored an online copy for anyone to read but it seems the site has since closed down. From...

    Did Zoroastrianism influence Christianity?

    I read somewhere that the origins of the idea of hell were derivatives from Zoroastrianism; but without checking the books again; that's the most I can think of right now... I will try to refresh my memory..

    Doppelherz - Invitation to Discuss & Interpret the last words of Marilyn Manson

    Do you have 26:06 minutes to spare? If so, I invite you to peruse the following youtube link: That link should take you to a 26 minute short film comprising the intended "last words" of Marilyn Manson. I recommend attempting to interpret it whilst watching it with the lights off in your room...

    Circular Reasoning - Is it Inevitable?

    Hi Willamena, I have an e-book copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance... Would you recommend it as a priority read? Same with a book on Morals called Lila - by the same author... Robert Pirsig, no? Have a nice day

    It's good that you can appreciate a punchline; and a shame because this thread really needed you anyways.. We've all pretty much just been waiting for you to say something... Wow

    Bishop Spongs 12 Points of Reformation of Christianity

    Well there is a couple of hundred years of these sorts of dialogues. Since the theists weren't able to burn atheists at the stake for this or that heresy; we've learned and grown and we have all sorts of conversations now. But also it doesn't work your way; God is Dead - it's symbolic of the...
