So just a troll then. I'm bored. Bye.

[duffyd]

The hypothesis that you are the immaculately conceived son of the creator of the universe and at the same time all and part of the triune deity is too absurd for belief, and if we add in the properties of being simultaneously vengeful (OT) and forgiving (NT), it can only be accepted by faith, not belief.

Well, that's more like it. So that's why they hung him up to die a criminal's death. This half crazy wild eyed Son got himself killed cause they liked what they heard. Rome would be offended if them fellas got their way and hired this Jesus to run the show, he simply had to go;

[duffyd]

Always a curious thing to see why they got rid of him. He was nobody who never lived or too glorious a man as a baby in a desert inn.

[duffyd]

I don't mind the pain
don't mind the driving rain
For you I'd do anything

[duffyd]

Somebody once said
They heard you sing

Lennie didn't mean to kill the puppy he loved
Honest George
Curly's wife only tried to help
Lennie is so strong
He's just a child
I didn't mean it Lennie
Let's go to the farm
With Bunnies to love
Look George, I can see it
Bunnies and all
Just like heaven will be

Lennie was the poor, odd, terribly strong misfit who wouldn't intentionally harm anyone, yet he pays the price for the unintended consequences of his big heart and enormous strength, a lethal combination.
All he wanted was a peaceful life on a farm with bunny rabbits and he would be content.
GOD knows our hearts and judges us differently than we do. Is it possible he ended up in heaven, despite his flaws?
The Grapes of Wrath is a powerful look at desperate people at a desperate time.

[duffyd]

Nobody do nuthin right
Look how we treated you?
Forgive us Lord
Our eyes was blind
We couldn't see
We didn't know it was you

[Bored chemist]

OK, how should I distinguish your posts from trolling?

[alancalverd]

effrey go find alan. come back when he and i are through.

We are through. You have descended into gibberish. For all I know, you may even be a Republican, and thus beneath contempt.

[Bored chemist]

When Alan and I both agree that some poster is a useless tosser, it's probably worth the mods considering the idea that... that poster is  a worthless tosser

[duffyd]

Had he done so, the charge of blasphemy would have been upheld. But:  Luke 23:4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man."

You see Alan, the more you try to prove you know something about which you are ignorant, the further you plunge into exposing yourself for the boob you are.

[duffyd]

Now, think about something. He was a naughty boy, so they decided to whack him, right? But, they were afraid of him and "the crowds". What crowds? The
 idiots who believed he was the Messiah. (Even these boobs saw him preform miracles, so they had reason to fear the crowds. This guy wasn't some schmuck.) So, they accuse him of being Who in fact He was, hoping Pilate and Fatso Herod would give in--fearing there could be trouble and they were Rome's boys only as long as they kept a handle on this occupied land. Hopefully these fools would be convinced they had something to fear and get rid of him. See how close you get when you understand why they did what they did? The pieces of the puzzle all come together when you "listen" and are open-minded.

[duffyd]

Jeffrey go find alan. come back when he and i are through.

We are through. You have descended into gibberish. For all I know, you may even be a Republican, and thus beneath contempt.

That was uncalled for. You have blasted me with dozens of horrific curse words and accused me of many serious crimes. No problem. My shoulders are broad and I'm used to it. However, calling me a "Republican" is actionable. Do you have even the slightest idea how much damage you have caused? A "Republican!" You called me a "Republican" Well, you have gone way too far. Way, way, way too far.

[duffyd]

Therefore, go find Alan and let him know I wasn't finished proving he was wrong about all the claims he made and that until I am done explaining why everything he said is incorrect, you will be unable to communicate to me how big of a Republican I really am.

[duffyd]

Well, you may be right. Whatever this thing is, male or female, or you, she keeps forgetting she ain't gawd.
Now, let me ak you a question. Forget the mantra, "Cause there's no evidence" nonsense  for 5 minutes and explain why GOD doesn't make sense. Is GOD really so unlikely? I realize you hate him and pay lip service to your doctrine "there's no evidence." So, that has nothing to do with why you reject and hate him. What gives? What is so impossible about there being GOD?

Do me a favor and toss the company bull for 5 minutes and just tell me what's up

You took what I was trying to say to someone other than you out of context and ranted on about issues unrelated to what I wanted to discuss and I wasn't addressing you in the first place and I already had told you I did not want to interact with you.

[duffyd]

"I don't think anyone said that God is impossible.
The one described in the Bible is impossibly self-contradictory."

I wasn't addressing you and yes they have. I am trying to avoid you. I asked you to leave me alone. You lie and try to drag me into discussing things with you. You are harassing me and I asked you to stop, but  you persist.
Please ignore me. Please stop.

[Bored chemist]

No matter who you don't want to listen to, nor who you thought you were addressing (in fact you were addressing a forum- if you want to address and individual member- message them instead), you were still making an absurd suggestion.

Forget the mantra, "Cause there's no evidence" nonsense  for 5 minutes

Calling the importance of evidence "nonsense" is loudly declaring your refusal to use logic.

[duffyd]

Would anyone care to explain who Jesus Christ really was?

I’m not sure why you are asking this here. This is neither a religion site nor a history site, all you will get are opinions.
This site, by its very nature, deals with the science of observation, experiment, models and predictions. What you are looking for won’t be found here.

Interesting. So, when you address me, you aren't addressing me but the forum. So, don't threaten to report me to the mods for not engaging in debate with you when I ignore you.

[Bored chemist]

Yes, that's right.
I tell the whole forum that you are not following the rules.
