"I assume your joking"
I lost interest after the opening lines, which i corrected Mr. Maher on up thread...figured the rest of it would be filled with similar/typical inaccuracy. I'll have to finish watching it.
And i haven't followed the last couple pages of posts here.
Thought perhaps he had come up with something new...i mean it's at least 2 yrs. old.
Well i'll take a look at it/finish looking at it...what the hell.
I don't have much regard for someone that hasn't put in the minimal amount of research to realize that Jesus Christ/Bible does not say "He is going to come down and END THE WORLD, and take His believers off to heaven!!!
Pathetic.
I thought i already convinced everybody that B. M. is clueless.

Hey Dr F
Mental speculator is my line.
Copy cat, think for yourself like you always preach. I always told you you guys couldn't think your way out of paper bag.
See you can't .....

Ephesians 4:18, They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Dr.F, I was just commenting on the first minute(60 seconds)of Religulous.
It will be the "End of the Age"!
Not the "End of the World"...KA-Boom! At Megiddo(Armageddon).
Jesus Christ is going to set up His kingdom(for 1,000 years)right here on earth. There will be hundreds of millions people here on earth, perhaps more than a billion(that survived the Tribulation).
Any Christian or basic Bible scholar(Bible 101)knows this.
If B.M. can't get something as basic as that right(in the first 60 seconds no less)i have my doubts.
Like i said, i will watch the rest...

I figured it out, Brawny thinks he is Yoda, that why his dialect makes no sense... if I was hearing him in that voice I might understand better.

Dr.F- "You have a opinion about evolution, and atheism, but you are farther from BM about being clueless about these subjects."
Perhaps this is true, but i would not flippantly misquote Darwin.
He showed a total disregard, a frivolous disrespect for Bible doctrine.

The fact is, we're tasked up to our necks in making choices. All the harder when were flying solo. People choose whether to get involved and it is up to them to choose with what and where and how to go about it.
It's a core subject in any "practice of living" model- new or old- and one that is only going to get more complicated in the future.
---------
Now the above is the old "self-reliance," or "self-propulsion" model that harks back to the cowboys, "sand" (heroic self containment), going it alone, and so forth, basically a will-based system that looks to include all relative data in order to efficiently make choices, then push them through with will and commitment. This is also known as the "alcoholic model," not because it uses quantifiable data in the decision making process, but because the person has (narcissism) designated himself the "higher power," and will power is relied upon as the prime mover.
On the other hand we have doctrine, or myth-based "practice of living" models that are based on the belief that the given ethics are divine mandates yada yada. These models are frequently bashed on this and other threads by pot shotting fragments of arcane cosmology found in old religious texts, and by postulating the "God" of these religions as a "thing" or "entity," howling at the manifest absurdity of such a construct, and then relegating the God-thing to a mere idea, a feeling, a belief, a speculation. Something is either matter, or it's not real. It's no-thing, correct?
There is yet another way different than either of these approaches which, in my experience, is the very opposite of snake oil and speculation.

The only possible inappropriate religious discussion is one that results in a policy that is thrust upon those that dont believe. Everything else is just idle conversation that you can take or leave.
Edit: BTW Luggi, "KMA"... so very christ-like of you!

Pate!
Today is someone in my family's birthday! I have to meet them somewhere at three(3 PM)!
I will take this up with you when i return some time this evening!
I was referring to Mr. Mahers opening sentences. He say's that "I am standing on the very spot that Revelation says Jesus is going to come down and END THE WORLD, AND TAKE HIS BELIEVERS OFF TO HEAVEN."
FALSE!
No where in Revelation does it say that!
I already told you what it says in Rev.....
Late....

This is religulous:
"Jehovah (God Jehovah) wants you to smite the infidel."
This is religulous:
"Wouldn't it be bad just to think we live every day till we die and then there is nothing..."
This is religulous:
"You weren't there (in pre-scientific times) so how do you know."
It's not even 10:00a this Sunday morning, and I've already read too much religulous on the Taco.

What, you guys haven't come across even one religulous example in the last couple of weeks? Hard to believe. Don't you guys care anymore about advancing the "practice" of living?
Believe me, it WILL carry over to politics and law, general life concerns, etc.
I'll have to make up for lost ground. Here's one, here's religulous.
Climbera wrote on a related thread:
"...then is this all there is... We die, and that's it? That just doesn't sit well with me. Seems pretty pointless...
The challenge for humanity is to adapt to Nature. As Carl Sagan put it once, Nature doesn't require Herself to fit human ambition. In other words, it is more like the other way around.
Spend your limited time, energy and resources adapting to the new understanding (science education), not fighting it.
