    Biblical Mary!

    The whole point of knowing the sources is visiting them and deciding for myself. I think perhaps you had unrealistic expectations that I would simply accept what you have to say on your say so. That's not really fair.

    Difference in moral thought between atheists and believers

    Says who? So we can't say that a god that demands child sacrifice is an evil god?

    Biblical Mary!

    No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that without the sources, I cannot evaluate your comments, and thus cannot really reply. It's not as if I don't care what you say. I just don't have anything to say in return.

    Biblical Mary!

    I thought you were sharing your ideas because you wanted a conversation, to know what I think about them. Did I misunderstand?

    Biblical Mary!

    I am sorry, but I can't really address it then, without your sources. Maybe you had fabulous sources. Maybe you had stinky sources. I have no way to judge, since I can't take a peak. For YOU, you believe that you have reached conclusions based on good information, which is fine. But I hope...

    Phew! I'm so relieved.

    Biblical Mary!

    No prophet uses the name Jesus. There are only a couple of times a reference to a son of God is made. The first is in Exodus 4:23 This is what the Lord says, “Israel is my son, my firstborn." The second is in Psalm 2:7 where God says to David "You are my son; today I have begotten you."...

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    Do you believe a person who lives today should be judged by the actions of another, such as a person is days gone by?

    Richard Dawkins says he is a Cultural Christian

    So now you are saying that most people get degrees for status? Oy veh. You are either really jaded, or you are just jealous.

    Realtime Spiritual Discussions

    No, and I'm not sure why you are concluding that. 1. Jesus lived in a different culture with its own norms. 2. There is no societal norm that says it is not appropriate to discuss sports in regular conversations. The following article is from the Miss Manners column, a woman who is paid to...

    I'm sure you are familiar with the fact that the Torah (first five books of the Bible) has God designating the Levites as religious leaders, and the descendants of Aaron as priest. Are you of the opinion that the Torah was God talking to Moses? Or do you believe that it is the "tradition of men"?

    Difference in moral thought between atheists and believers

    "The results suggest that, while people regularly reach the same conclusions when faced with uncomfortable moral choices, their answers often do not grow out of the reasoned application of general moral principles. Instead, they draw on emotional reactions, particularly for certain kinds of...

    You can believe whatever you want. For me, I'll go with the MRI evidence.

    Richard Dawkins says he is a Cultural Christian

    I suppose that for a few people, getting a degree is only a means to getting a job. But I think that for most individuals, especially those in graduate school, the objective is to learn, to understand, to appreciate. There is a joy in learning, and a curiosity, that for some people drives...

    Richard Dawkins says he is a Cultural Christian

    I think you meant to say "church" or "denomination."

    Richard Dawkins says he is a Cultural Christian

    Wow, I didn't know that. For me, the emphasis by Jesuits on scholarship is the very thing I appreciate about them. LOL thanks. I don't have any advanced degrees because I simply don't have the self discipline needed to do independent work like a thesis. But I've continued reading...

    Israel Wants Escalation With Iran

    Jews recognize Righteous Gentiles. In Israel, there is a monument called Yad Vashem, dedicated to the memory of those non-Jews who helped Jews during the holocaust, often at their own expense.

    Difference in moral thought between atheists and believers

    Except that most moral decisions are made deep within the brain BEFORE the cerebral cortex activates. IOW, our moral decisions are NOT consciously reasoned out in most cases. They are instinctual.

    Biblical Mary!

    Well here, you are asking me for answers that are above my pay grade. Remember that I'm a Jew and not a Christian. ALL the various attempts to rationalize Jesus being divine in ANY way strike me as being utter nonsense, though I try to be kind about that. Your above questions are probably...
