You might benefit from reviewing what an actual strawman fallacy is. You stated that Christianity is not a religion. I responded directly to your claim that the Christians I know overwhelmingly claim they are members of a religion. Where do you find a strawman there?

Thanx for the info! :gd

No. What other naked assumptions would you like to make?

I’m afraid that with 3 cancers and a heart condition trying to kill me every day - I made a decision not to spend time on fringe views like yours. No offense. For the thousands of mainstream Christians I have engaged over 5 decades - they most certainly consider Christianity to be their...

But there isn’t a great falling away. There’s a falling away in the industrials nations that put a priority on education and critical thinking - while your religion is virtually exploding in 3rd world nations with an average 6th grade education level - not that long removed from animism. Don't...

So now you know the mind of Satan. Cool story.

You telling me what appeals to me is either a sorry attempt at mind reading - or just an intellectually lazy claim you can’t support without my input. I’ll let you clarify which it is.

No one with an IQ over 12 has any problem proving they’ve been kissed or in love. We know the definitions of kisses and love. We know what physical and emotional responses, as well as what behaviors provide evidence consistent with those definitions of love. Certainly you can offer a more...

I’m more moved by the fact that 30 million more Christians - just in the last decade - in the US now list themselves as ‘nones’ - having abandoned the religion they championed for decades. So, I think my 30 million trumps your 1….

Well, if you provide me with your bona fides as a mind reader, I’ll be happy to consider them. Barring that, you’re welcome to your fringe view of how mainstream Judaism got so much wrong about their own religion and Messiah.

Yes. And 'notorious' is a bit of hyperbole - and it might be helpful to review the meaning of 'anecdotal'. hmn

And still.... we know the attributes of the Messiah from the undisputed experts - the Hebrews who literally wrote the book on the subject. What those attributes do NOT include: a virgin birth, a crucifixion, a resurrection, a birth in Bethlehem, a life in Nazareth - nor indeed any divine...

So... when the guidelines state that Christians should not start threads here - that's just a guideline?

What an odd topic for Christians to be excited about. In my 55 years of engaging them, they have consistently made a few claims quite clear: - God can never be proven by science. - Faith is the only thing needed to believe things that are unproven. - (corollary) If god were proven, faith would...

Cool. Perhaps you can shed light on why so many Christians don’t know the attributes of the Messiah. I mean, if you’re only studying the OT from the Christian perspective - you’re not really studying the OT, are you?

Because having actually studied the bible under both Christian and Jewish scholars, the facts have the OT proving that Jesus was not the Messiah, which affectively renders Christianity a fraud and its followers the unwitting, credulous victims of a now multi trillion dollar scam. It always...
