Hell, you've only two letters for me. If you want to use my post and name, have at it.
Manuel Santamaria replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
Thanks so much for your responses! I have learned many new things about the subject and have also seen some of my own thoughts echoed on the discussion.
Matt VDB replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
That's just the point. The census story (which is in Matt and Luke, if I'm not mistaken) is completely made up, not just because we have no record of it, but also because Galilee wouldn't have been part of imperial territory, and…
Jim DePaulo replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
That still leaves the question, that Galilee (unlike Judaea) was not a Roman province so there was no reason to comply with a Roman directive. Even if Galilee had been imperial territory, there is no record of a ‘universal census’…

Sam Harris - but Hitchens too, in a way - has a great come-back to the whole "communism and nazism murdered many people", basically pointing out that the problem in these societies was not their lack of religion, but that their political…
Matt VDB replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
That's highly, highly debatable. Don't pretend like the debate on this is settled or that this is "a fact": it's very much an open question. We have some evidence that there was a a sect that called themselves the Nazarenes…
Jim DePaulo replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
The actual distortion was the reference to Jeebus as "Jesus the Nazarene", which was interpreted as "from Nazareth".
The Nazarenes were a break off sect of the Essenes.

Nor would it make sense to force everyone to retreat to their original cities rather than remaining in the current city.
Jim DePaulo replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
As the "Holy" book tells us,
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a CITY of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was…

Stalin and Mao or any a-hole killing machine did not have to contend w/the internet
meaning subject matter in debate becomes too historical rather than 2010 baby!
JD replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
Don't forget about the implied ad baculum (Argument from Force) when he says that God will "judge you". That's yet another logical fallacy.
Abnormal replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
I'd argue that Mao, Stalin, and Hitler committed the atrocities they committed in the name of their countries. It was not in the name of Christianity or atheism. The Great Leap Forward, Great Purge, Third Reich were all acts that cost many…
Jim DePaulo replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
I would guess that Hitler was as much a Catholic as I am, in that my Italian grandmother rushed me off to the local parish and had me dunked and baptised Catholic when I was a couple of days old - which was the last official encounter I had with the…

Sounds like you have an idiot on your hands. Simply because they have no god they murder as a result of having no god? Certainly hope he's not a therapist.
People like him have no concept of reality. They'll twist the facts to make blue…
Jennifer Anker replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
Most serial killers are atheists in a very loose sense of the word. >.> They are often unable to understand very abstract complex concepts like religion. Heck, most of them have trouble understanding that other people are alive and can feel…
Loren Miller replied to Manuel Santamaria's discussion 'Discussion with a theist - I need your opinion'
Both Stalin and Mao were cults of personality, not that much different from the carpenter of Galilee, and both treated their ideology as absolute and inviolable, like said carpenter's followers. Indeed, Mao had his "Little Red Book,"…

- There are several ppl in Dallas who are on AN, but I have never met any of them. There is the Dallas/Plano Atheist Meetup group that meets in different places throughout the metroplex, but I have only been to a few of those. Sometimes I'm too busy, too tired, or there is something on Nova I want to watch (Tuesdays at 7), or I'm broke, etc., so I don't get to go all the time.
There is a group that meets at a bar/grill in Arlington that you might be interested in attending. I've never been, but I can track it down for you, if you wish.
