Typical quote: "To qualify as a believer you need to have a reality filter over your brain and a fairytale enema up your arse" - eadon-com

Below is a transcript of channel 103 chat. Channel 103 is a place where religion is discussed, (atheists battle the Christians). I am eadon-com by the way.

PopePious: Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Psalms 32:1

eadon-com: who forgives PopePious? Buddha?

PopePious: Jesus forgives, if we confess our sins.

Massacre9: PopePious has half the people censored in this channel.

eadon-com: He sounds like a christian to me, they only hear what they wish to hear

Richner: There are likely billions who've never heard of Jesus.

Spearfish: OH PLEASE EADON, LET THEM HAVE THEIR FAIRY TALE!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

eadon-com: hmmmmm... No! :)

Massacre9: PopePious is an overly sensitive christian, and, like most christians, is afraid of the HEAT>

eadon-com: they should be, they are trying to escape an eternity of some pr etty nasty heat

Spearfish: DON'T YOU REALIZE THE IMMACULATE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE CARRIED THE SEED OF GAWD WITH OUR SAVIORS ANNOINTED MEAT-YAK IN IT'S TRANSMOGRIFICATION WITH THE HOLY TABERKNUCKLE?????? DON'T YOU DON'T YOU DON'T YOU?????????????????????????????????????????????

Spearfish: IT'S TRUE IT'S TRUE IT'S TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Spearfish: HOW CAN YOU IGNORE ALL THE EVIDENCE????????????????????????????????????????????????????

SpiritHunter: A religious person follows the rules of their church; a spiritual person follows the dictates of their soul.

eadon-com: and a logical person will follow neither soul (doesn't exist) or rules of a church

Richner: Pastor Spearfish? If I go kill a bunch of people, will Jesus forgive me?

Massacre9: Sure will Richner. As long as you accept JEEBRUS into your heart before you die, its all good.

Richner: Cool. Free license to murder, rape, etcetera! No wonder this crap, I mean religion, is so popular.

Massacre9: As a matter of fact that is my exact plan! Live a life of crime and then, on my death bed I will accept da lard jeebrus into my heart.

sigrabmd: if a christian commits suicide Massacre9, will he go to heaven? considering his last act was "evil". Never had the chance to repent

Massacre9: Tuff question there sigrabmd.

Richner: Nope, sorry. Jesus doesn't like depressed people.

Spearfish: SHUCKS I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU GUYS WHO WON'T BE SUCKLEING AT THE HOLY MILK-BOSOM OF JESUS FOR ALL ETERNITY IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!

Massacre9: I think he will go to heaven, yes. A lifetime of sucking up to a 2000 year old book should not go to the curb because of one indiscretion.

Richner: If he truly believed ................. he wouldn't kill himself. Every good Christian knows that. sheesh

sigrabmd: and speaking of eternal suffering in hell, does "God" take into consideration a sinners threshold of pain when he send him to hell?

Spearfish: DON'T TURN DOWN THE HOLY NIPPLE OF THE MILK-TEAT OF SALVATION WHEN IT IS OFFERED YOU....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!

Massacre9: holy milk bosom? :)

Richner: God takes everything into consideration.

Richner: Except good taste. ;oP

sigrabmd: if the sinner passes out, then its not eternal suffering anymore, right?

Spearfish: GAWD GAVE YOU FREE WILL SO YOU COULD ACT LIKE A MORONIC CHRISTIAN AND MAKE THE CHOICES BETWEEN MORONIC ICON WORSHIP FOR ALL TIME OR BE THE ENTREE AT DE' LAWD'S BARBECUE PICNIC!

sigrabmd: I can only take so much heat.

Richner: He'll wake up again. Like, your spirit is removed from your body, or something.

Spearfish: LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY.......YOU SHOULD BELIEVE JUST IN CASE I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spearfish: YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spearfish: EXCEPT YOUR SKIN IN GAWD'S BARBECUE IF I'M RIGHT!!!!!

catdoc: Believing in something just in case you get tortured if you get it wrong is such a repulsively ridiculous idea that anyone who could state it as a naive "Hey - here's a good idea" type of proposition is morally defective.

[DrChess quoted by Spearfish]


DrChess: tell him that at judgment day .... while you quake in your boots

DrChess: your heart is blackened muck

DrChess: we are trying to prevent what will be for you - the unspeakable horrors of everlasting, unquenchable fire

SpiritHunter: Religions require you deny your inner truths so when you do break free you still maintain this attitude. In this way, religions produce atheists.

dlh: "-and the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus , by the supreme being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." ----Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Adams.

Spearfish: "What does god mean to me? Not a damned thing! Religion is all bunk." Thomas Edison

Spearfish: people clinging to religion are a really pathetic and sorry lot

Richner: I pity them.

Spearfish: after giants of history such as Nietzsche, Freud, Marx, Lenin, Mark Twain, Edison, Einstein trashed christianity........

Richner: But I'm probably too generous that way....

Spearfish: I pity us having to be around them

Massacre9: It's so easy to hate them for their beliefs too. But, I think most of them are just brainwashed and don't really have a clue.

Spearfish: arrogant trash for the most part

sigrabmd: that's even more pitiful Massacre9

Spearfish: the stupid ones..........well....................most of the lower level slaves are the stupid ones

Richner: You forgot many others. Madison, Jefferson. Pretty much all of them. lol

Massacre9: I can only hope that the experiences they find in this channel will help to open their eyes.

sigrabmd: ill start my own religion and name it "Clueless". wanna join Massacre9?

Massacre9: yeah right :)

Spearfish: it's so funny as they defend their crappy creed by the blueprint set forth in The True Believer by Hoffer

Spearfish: it never ceases to amaze me

Spearfish: every robotic action and posture is in The True Believer, the way they turn deaf in the face of evidence and information ON CUE

sigrabmd: True Believer? good buy Spearfish?

Spearfish: absolutely essential reading: in my top 5 books on this subject.: "Losing Faith In Faith" is a good try by Dan Barker. It's incredible. Another stupendous read is "Some Mistakes of Moses" by Robert Ingersoll

Spearfish: another stupendous read is "Some Mistakes of Moses" by Robert Ingersoll. It surgically dissects the bible in the most diplomatic language imaginable

SpiritHunter: When I saw a ghost, I didn't believe it--I knew they didn't exist. When I learned of others seeing it, I realized it wasn't a hallucination. I had to re-evaluate my thinking--a difficult process. That started my searching.

Isolani: The bible says "sin has it's season". I say, so does ignorance.

JGR: I have Isaac Asimov's guide to the bible. Pretty good.

Richner: Please share more about the ghost. I wann be saved!

JGR: Dude is looking for attention with this ghost crap.

JGR: Note there is never a video camera around when these "ghosts" appear. It's just like the faith healers on TV. People get "healed" of vague stuff like ear wax, a bad eye, a lump.....If you want to convince me....show me an arm grow back... it's all nonsense.

SpiritHunter: Pay attention to 1. co-incidences that reverberate with meaning. 2.to dreams that seem vivid, particularly those without plots where you are the only participant

sigrabmd: the worst xtians are those who swear by their bible but can't answer a goddamn question about contradictions in that book.

Richner: A totally subjective account that trashes it would be cool.

Massacre9: De progammers are basically anti bible. They have to be very good at dissecting the inconsistencies in the bible and be ready for all comebacks.

ItsDaBishop: most scientists can't answer a damn question about miracles either

Richner: Dreams, coincidences, and miracles?? HALLELUJAH!!

ItsDaBishop: miracles don't happen to scientists or their ilk

eadon-com: A miracle is an event that contradicts physics, is it not?

Richner: I had a dream that Spearfish was the bride of Jesus. Was it true??

Massacre9: Your average cult member is very tortured. Physically and mentally.

eadon-com: strange that such events don't get recorded on film or video etc

ItsDaBishop: a miracle confounds physical possibility

Massacre9: I consider christianity a cult too.

Spearfish: A Miracle: "An event described by those to whom it was told by men who did not see it." Elbert Hubbard

Isolani: UFO's are miracles then, eh? The loch ness monster is a miracle

eadon-com: yes, but why don't they get recorded in a way that is incontrovertible?

ItsDaBishop: why do you have to SEE it

Isolani: To be, er, NOT a fool?

Massacre9: The fact that I don't dissolve in the bathwater is a miracle! I forget who said that.

eadon-com: because if you go by somebody's say so then it is far more likely that they were mistaken or are lying or were deceived

Ged183: I believe in miracles, angels too.

Spearfish: one of FriarFryUp's greatest quotes (amongst many) was something to the effect that THE DAY GOD SHOWED FriarFryUp UNQUESTIONABLE EVIDENCE OF HIS EXISTENCE, WOULD BE THE DAY HE STOPPED BELIEVING IN GOD.....

Spearfish: I mean, that kind of stupidity is worth money

eadon-com: the lack of miracles is the biggest argument against the credibility of a god. It seems that only nature decrees what happens, not a god, for miracles are non-existent

ItsDaBishop: then the presence of miracles acclaims GOD?

eadon-com: yes, the presence of a miracle that is indisputable would be evidence

Massacre9: People want to believe in something so badly. It comes at great cost though.

SpiritHunter: 3.Intuitive knowledge--your soul is very wise 4.visions--trust your eyes. Recently someone told me that he saw a light ascending his staircase that he would say was a ghost if he knew that were possible. Trust your eyes more than your beliefs.

ItsDaBishop: so no god means no miracles

eadon-com: never trust what you see or hear :)

Spearfish: "The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan has a very nice chapter on all this ghost crap

eadon-com: No god implies no miracles but that is not proof. A miracle is simply something that cannot be explained by physics or chance

Spearfish: it's just more psycho people having normal human experiences and getting hysterical about them

Isolani: IF miracles were available wholesale we'd all be spiritualists. Since miracles are not, I wonder if their reports were intended as tales, fiction, to convey larger truths?

eadon-com: the lack of credible miracles is a huge blow for religion

Spearfish: it's really incredible that dozens of 1st century historians not only didn't witness any of Jesus' "miracles" but fail to mention that such a person ever lived

Spearfish: quite a contrast to the claims that he was amazing "thousands" with his magic

ItsDaBishop: well , who's to say that physics has an end?

Isolani: It was like Life of Brian back then probably:)

eadon-com: it is easy to contravene physics ItsDaBishop! You simply float in the air or walk on water

ItsDaBishop: not only easy, but natural

eadon-com: and yet...................... it never happens in a way that there is evidence it happened!!!! a severe dent in the plausibility of religion I think

ItsDaBishop: the physical world is but one facet of a multi-dimensional existence.

eadon-com: so I think that the lack of miracles means that the only proof there could be for a god does not exist

Richner: God and Buckaroo Banzai are hanging out in the 8th dimension together.

SpiritHunter: I will tell you how to someone's aura--try it and report back. You can see your own in a mirror if you prefer. A white background is preferable but a light on will do.

Spearfish: you really have to make a gigantic effort to suspend logic and common sense enough to swallow this perfect crap menu, cooked up by the swine-infested christian kitchens

eadon-com: an aura is a simple over exposure of parts of the retina producing an optical illusion

ItsDaBishop: what's that theory put forth in Contact? some formula

Isolani: Find some life on Mars, say, and there'll be Bible-toters ready with a vague revelational quotation that agrees ...

Massacre9: Only spearfish has the hatred I have for christians in this channel. Most everyone else is luke warm in their take on it.

Spearfish: CHRISTIAN MORON: BUT IF THERE IS NO JESUS.....THEN WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?????!!!!!!!!! *SOB* *HONK* *SNORF*

Richner: Hatred is a strong word. Can I hate the religion and not the people?

Isolani: Christians have been malleable in every situation. In the 1980's Gorbachev was the anti-christ - having that blotch on his head "the mark of the beast is on his head" ha ha

Spearfish: sure Richner

ItsDaBishop: snorf........

Massacre9: I know. It is wrong and yet and have no control over it, it seems.

Spearfish: it is only right, natural and proper to hate christianity and the stupidity it represents.....and the de-evolution of human progress

Spearfish: soon this will be the norm, as soon as we outgrow this last surge of dark=ages idiocy

ItsDaBishop: well said satan

eadon-com: christians are immune from criticism because they do not seem to have the mental facilities or the open mind to understand

Isolani: Right eadon. I mean, would you buy a used car from a guy who told you outright, after shaking hands, that he was a Christian? I sure wouldn't.

eadon-com: there is something indelibly shifty about christians, something smarmy about them, which tends to make my skin crawl

eadon-com: in England we say that after a christian has popped round for tea, you count the spoons :)

JGR: eadon, there may be some truth to that. I have found that after explaining something about evolution to a xtian...such as a confusion that they have about a mechanism like natural selection.....a week later they are still misrepresenting the truth I have explained to them...design?? stupidity?? who knows?

Richner: Rationalization, JGR.

Isolani: agenda

Isolani: monomania

eadon-com: I find that too JGR

SpiritHunter: Stare at the pineal gland [ 3rd eye] - about an inch above the eyes on the forehead. After you have focused for a while, you will observe with your peripheral vision a glow surrounding the head. Now shift your focus to that and you should observe a color appear.

Isolani: Now think of Gillian Anderson...

SpiritHunter: Then choose between your eyes and your beliefs.

Massacre9: Christians believe in such stupid things for the whole "after life benefit plan"

eadon-com: erm SpiritHunter, if you stare at a dot and then look else where you will still see a dot - this is not an aura, it is an optical illusion caused by the imbalance of exposure to certain parts of the retina

Richner: Acknowledge your aura, Massacre9. lol

Massacre9: It's all about them getting themselves saved AND passing that stupidity on to other unsuspecting people.

Richner: It's God eadon, don't you get it?

LadyGodiva: can you influence the color of your aura???

Isolani: Massacre9, it IS a very selfish orthodoxy, IMHO

LadyGodiva: ...'cause mine clashes with my hair :)

eadon-com: SpiritHunter, your eyes are not perfect instruments of reality, like a camera, they can be fooled

Massacre9: But hey! It's all about free love baby!

Richner: You may have the Satanic aura, LADYGODIVA. Sorry.

LadyGodiva: damn

Massacre9: I forget who said that.

Isolani: Even when giving, as when churches send people and money to flood victims, it's with the notion that they are building up points somehow. Can you imagine a community of gay people getting help from a group of Baptists?

LadyGodiva: but, at least I'm guaranteed a job in the afterlife :)

Richner: A ghost just went down the hallway................

Richner: Oh my........ It's Jesus! He's whispering something.

Massacre9: Listen to the wind, It will guide you.

Richner: He says, "I'm dead and I'm not coming back." Over and over.

LadyGodiva: had you been trying to persuade him otherwise, Richner?

Richner: Jesus, why must children suffer?

Richner: Come back here!

Isolani: Isn't it true that Einstein said, after a colleague died, that his colleague had not really been extinguished. That time...

Richner: Damn, he ran away.

LadyGodiva: sounds like an impudent ghost... better put in for a new one :)

Spearfish: Jesus, why do you care about FriarFryUp's infected toe healing, and let 40,000 children starve to death every single day of each year?

Richner: Yeah, he's a brat.

Spearfish: I guess the 40,000 dead children are using their FREE WILL to die

Richner: 40,000, is that right!?

Spearfish: correct

Isolani: Rigidity of thought is the anti-Christ. discuss.

Spearfish: rigidity of thought is creed worship

Spearfish: robotic recitation of dogma/doctrine ala christianity

Isolani: Worship is monomania, which is a rigidity

Isolani: Fluidity is constant.

eadon-com: I think worship is floppy and flaccid, like a burst balloon, it is empty of any rigidity or structure whatsoever

Massacre9: Religious people remind me of the kid that doesn't want to hear what you are saying, puts his fingers in his ears and says " I can't hear you, I can't hear you" repeatedly.

Isolani: Adults do that?

Jupiter: unless the temperature dips below 32.. Isolani..

eadon-com: to qualify as a believer you need to have a reality filter over your brain and a fairytale enema up your arse

ItsDaBishop: you said a fairy up your arse?

Isolani: Unreasonable, persistent, uncompromising, self-congratulating. supercilious, often pugnacious. That ... ooo, you can say arse here? Cool.

TheVicar: God came down from his transport in the sky and blessed the virgin. Thus, we got Jesus for our Salvation.

PopePious: If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 9:31

Isolani: "Take a little wine for thy stomach's sake." Paul to Timothy

FaithfulFrigate: Darwin is Dead fool, and he is most likely burning in hell

Spearfish: FaithfulFrigate is an extremely stupid man

FaithfulFrigate: man, there is archaeologist evidence every where but satan will make these people believe lies instead of actual stuff found in the middle east containing to the bible

dlh: brother FoamingFundy, speak to us in tongues dude!

FoamingFundy: the dark-side of the 666/baphomet/G.A.O.T.U shall all have their day in the deepest abyss

dlh: woah, brother FoamingFundy in the spirit

dlh: baphomet, is that like hail bobbit? Barf vomit is what I do when I listen to the funda nazi children

SpiritHunter: An ideologue may be religious or atheistic, fixed in his beliefs, has no curiosity, no need to search or experiment. Did you try to see your aura by the technique given earlier? If not, you may be an ideologue.

FoamingFundy: jahbulon shall fall, Jesus is King

JGR: SpiritHunter. Just because we didn't want to take part in your quackery means nothing. Your optical illusions and hallucinations are all Sa DA KA BAA VA DAA SATTA LOON KONDAYA BA VAYA

JGR: WHOA

JGR: IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SENTENCE THE HOLY GHOST OVERTOOK ME!

FoamingFundy: no JGR your evil ghost

JGR: har har FoamingFundy. Yes, I admit it, Satan is in me...yup...that's it...uhu

SpiritHunter: The Cripps hate the Blood, Redskin fans hate Cowboy fans, the Muslims hate the Christians, the Communists hate the Capitalists--but they are all emotionally the same.

sigrabmd: Casper ain't evil

TheologeanX: What is G.A.O.T.U. ??

FoamingFundy: G.A.O.T.U IS SENT TO ONLY THOSE IN WHOM THE DARK-SIDE RESIDES, I SPEAK IN A MYSTERY TO THE LOST THAT THEY MAY BE FOUND, JESUS IS THE G.A.O.T.U. TO WHOM SHALL BE IN NEED TO KNOW

TheologeanX: ?

Spearfish: don't hate the christians folks, their stupidity is something they can't help. But it is fine to hate christianity. You SHOULD hate christianity

TheologeanX: What is the acronym G.A.O.T.U. ??

JGR: OK, let's see if we can put this together...

JGR: G is for God? Goblin? A is for almighty?

Massacre9: What is christianity?

Isolani: Christianity is never having to say you're wrong.

TheologeanX: JGR, these are plausible, but FoamingFundy can tell us what he has in mind more clearly, I'm sure.

SpiritHunter: Both religionists and atheists oppose prayer experiments because neither can accept the results.

FoamingFundy: The Great IAM which was and is and is to come, shall remove the knights-templar.

Massacre9: It is a bogus belief system that says if you believe in Jesus you will have more love in your life. In reality, you have more fear.

FoolSlayer: is this the muslim channel? I really hate those self centered hypocrite christians. death to all christians!

eadon-com: FoamingFundy if you were god would you keep hell or would you just say, hey why not let all the dudes into heaven and just segregate all the trouble makers on a paradise island where the pretty babes hang out

JGR: God Almighty Overcomes The Underworld?? Cmon FoamingFundy...tell us

Massacre9: Why do christians believe? They are afraid of hell.

cozio: nobody knows for sure what happens when you die

FoolSlayer: I agree with cozio

TheologeanX: Knights templar have been gone for centuries, only masons left to worship baphomet. What is G.A.O.T.U.?

sigrabmd: we rot. accept it.

eadon-com: [simultaneously] erm.. when you die you rot.

Massacre9: No one knows, yes. But do you believe you burn eternally if you don't believe in Jesus?

FoamingFundy: it is not given to me from on high to revile the G.A.O.T.U. AS of yet, but to whom I speak, may the force of Jesus be with you.

cozio: Your brain houses all thoughts, emotions, memories etc. When it rots, you rot

TheologeanX: O.T.U. = "of the universe" ??

eadon-com: FoamingFundy, will you enjoy your stay in heaven knowing that your pals here are in Beelzebub's frying pan of death?

eadon-com: .. erm I mean, won't that be a little, well, you know, unsettling? Might put a bit of a damper on the feel good factor in heaven eh what, you know, listening to the faint echoes of the screams....

FoolSlayer: what is G.A.O.T.U.?

FoamingFundy: you can turn from your wicked ways now, and not go

Massacre9: The christian belief in Jesus is all about fear. Take hell out of the bible and who reads it? The bible is about hell. To christians.

JGR: Ok FoamingFundy. I have turned from my wicked ways now tell us what G.A.O.T.U is.

FoolSlayer: my philosophy is to leave people alone...

Massacre9: my philosophy is to try to steer people away from a cliff when you know it's there.

FoolSlayer: if they wanna jump ill let em'

dlh: you iz immortalized FoamingFundy

sigrabmd: xtians don't leave people alone. they try to convert you.

Massacre9: What if you had to share the same environment with those same crazy people you didn't try to help?

dlh: [quotes FoamingFundy] FoamingFundy: G.A.O.T.U IS SENT TO ONLY THOSE IN WHOM THE DARK-SIDE RESIDES, I SPEAK IN A MYSTERY TO THE LOST THAT THEY MAY BE FOUND, JESUS IS THE G.A.O.T.U. TO WHOM SHALL BE IN NEED TO KNOW

eadon-com: G.A.O.T.U. = Gosh All Of This utterbollocks

dlh: lay some more cool abbreviations on us FoamingFundy

FoamingFundy: I love all of the rebels of the ICC, but not enough to reveal the secrets of the G.A.O.T.U. NOR S.A.O.T.U. but the true one is found in ST. JOHN 1:1-18 if there is any rest for the weary.

dlh: what is the s.a.o.t.u.?

eadon-com: SAOTU = Shite And Offal To U

FoolSlayer: I would rather lead by example. I like the teachings of Christ, but is silly to assume that reciting a few "lines" and reading a book and praying is the key to eternal life. that is just silly

TheologeanX: Reminds me of a game my son plays on the I-net ... Acrophobia... compete to make most amusing phrase from a random acronym (has nothing to do with fear of heights)

Massacre9:

FoolSlayer: but is silly to assume that reciting a few "lines" and reading a book and praying is the key to eternal life. that is just silly

FoolSlayer: satan almighty of the universe

FoamingFundy: 666 shall be replace by the G. 7 of all times

dlh: the G. 7?

FoolSlayer: god almighty of the universe. that's my guess

dlh: sounds like a sports engine, the G. 7

eadon-com: Sausages almighty of the universe

eadon-com: I worship the almighty Sausage woe to the unbelievers

dlh: Woe to the sausage lovers of the universe!

ItsDaBishop: sausage, rack 'em up

eadon-com: I am converted to the Sausage almighty of the universe - woe to the bacon eaters

mkg: a hungry man once asked the Buddha, "Do you have a quarter for a sandwich?" To which the Master replied, "I dunno, lemme see the sandwich."

FoamingFundy: I shall continue to leave the dark-side in the dark concerning the matters of the far-east, but Jesus is the hidden wisdom of God, the greatest of all mysteries. ! cor. 2:7

FoolSlayer: how come the history of the bible is not readily available to the masses?

sigrabmd: John 1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time;..." oh really? then why.... Job 42:5 "I have heard of thee (Lord) by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee." so which is it?

FoamingFundy: nay you begin??????

eadon-com: it is strange, is it not, FoolSlayer, that those who are best at reasoning, the intellectuals, are the least likely to be religious. Ironic?

FoolSlayer: Einstein believed in god. Not all these rules though

eadon-com: not the christian god he didn't

FoolSlayer: exactly

Massacre9: what century do you live in FoamingFundy?

FoamingFundy: no man hath beheld God in His pure light except Jesus

Beelzebulb: No one has seen the "Father" Are you familiar with the trinity?

FoolSlayer: I have come to the point in my life where I categorically deny all MANMADE religions and interpretations

FoamingFundy: alllllllllllll others have seen only His allowed changed attributes

FoolSlayer: I don't trust people for **** :>

WarPriest: Job may have seen the angel of God....like the burning bush etc...remember that Moses could only see the back of God, not his face....a christian would say that man can see some manifestations of God, but not his full glory

ItsDaBishop: which aren't manmade?

sigrabmd: manifestations? like what?

FoolSlayer: hey religious people! why isn't the history and origins of the bible common knowledge of "the flock"?

Beelzebulb: If you read Hebrew you will see that "God" is translated by several Hebrew Words

FoamingFundy: what flock? there are many types of flocks

eadon-com: it seems to me that the most satisfying sight is that of a naked woman. So if god was even more satisfying then he must have a lovely pair of bangers

JGR: Jacob seems to imply that he saw god's face also when he wrestles an angel or god.

dlh: they should get an angel wrestler on the WWWF, that would be cool

FoamingFundy: no Beelzebulb is just one of many demons that are nobody in a Christians eyes, I ain't afraid of no ghost, I've got Jesus the Lord of lords

dlh: FoamingFundy confused his ole and new testicle there

FoamingFundy: AS2K shall not be revealed, so back off, or be erased

dlh: AS2k is the language of the 666 FoamingFundy

FoamingFundy: when shall the 666/baphomet/As2k/jahbulon/abandon/ be exposed?

sigrabmd: Exod. 33:11 "And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend."

sigrabmd: what does repent mean in the bible WarPriest?

WarPriest: repent takes on different connotations....in some it means simply to change the mind, in others it means to be sorrowful and commit to a change from sin to good, in others it means simply a change in course of action

sigrabmd: Num. 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent." .........

sigrabmd: Psalms.42:10 "... for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you."

WarPriest: sigrabmd, another one of your contradictions which is simply explained by my explanation

WarPriest: redundantly explained again I might add. hehe

dlh: okay WarPriest, how about this one-------- Leviticus 11:6- And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, ---is unclean unto you- Well, you can go ask a zoologist and they will tell you hares do not chew their cuds.

Beelzebulb: There is a classic example of what WarPriest has said about the use of the word repent !

WarPriest: now dlh, there is some important stuff to deal with in this line

dlh: I guess so WarPriest. WarPriest bobs and weaves-------

Massacre9: rope-a-dope


FoamingFundy: dlh is but yet tossed to and fro in his mind to the ever present bios of the unrevealed, from whence cometh thou? dlh

eadon-com: FoamingFundy, if a hare has no teeth, as the bible suggests, then how does it chew carrots? with it's gums?

Massacre9: let me say this; if a rabbit has no teeth then why no glasses?

FoamingFundy: thou hast well answered the question dark eadon

eadon-com: dark eadon! yeah! I must change my handle [name, ie eadon-com]. Thanks FoamingFundy :)

TheologeanX: Supplementary info from various sources: both Aristotle and Linnaeus considered rabbits to be cud chewers.

dlh: well, they were wrong, just like the bible was wrong

Aristotle: I did not

FoamingFundy: dlh you and now d for dah? for you have tooooooo many questions

dlh: if the argument is: well Aristotle believed it too, well that is weak as you know, but I will look at it. Brb. Of course, Aristotle never claimed to be divine eh?

TheologeanX: That is not the argument. It reflects the state what passed for common knowledge back then.

WarPriest: the point, dlh, is that the argument may partly be about definitions....if the definition of some Greek or Hebrew word some 3000 years ago is broader than a modern day scientific definition, then there is no mistake

TheologeanX: That is not the argument. It reflects the state of what passed for common knowledge back then.

dlh: common knowledge which was mistaken TheologeanX. Clearly they believed it, but that did not make it true

WarPriest: do you understand what I am saying dlh?

dlh: it is a scientific error, thus inerrancy of the bible goes down the tubes

TheologeanX: Mistaken according to modern definitions.

Spearfish: it your ultimate goal FoamingFundy to have sex with the virgin mother in heaven?

dlh: weak, weak, weak, the argument is well: they "appear" to chew their cud, LOL so there is no contradiction, sadly that is not what the verse says, fundies will go through amazing hoops to justify their silly tabloid

WarPriest: dlh you misstate the argument, which is a good one

dlh: the verse says hares chew their cud

WarPriest: no dlh, the verse says some ancient Hebrew words

dlh: the fundy makeover of the verse is "hares appear to chew their cud" LOL

WarPriest: that is wrong dlh,

WarPriest: http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/3725.asp

FoamingFundy: the Bible is perfect, no contradictions, and no other book can ever approach comparison.

dlh: no, it is not wrong WarPriest

WarPriest: straw-man

dlh: I just read the site

WarPriest: you didn't read very well then

dlh: it makes the very argument I just demolished. You go back and read it dude. I think as a lawyer I know how to read things

eadon-com: dlh don't say that dlh, no one will believe a word you say henceforth :)

dlh: well, I read it and it is weak, others can read it too, and I stand behind what I said

FoamingFundy: dlh read this S.A.O.T.U. + G.A.O.T.U. = J.E.S.U.S. - 7 = 666 - 6 = MAN.

FriarFryUp: what the heck is that FoamingFundy?

eadon-com: S.A.O.T.U = Sausage almighty of the Universe

FoamingFundy: fellow craftsmen render assistance please?

FriarFryUp: what are you talking about FoamingFundy?

FoolSlayer: who did Jesus hang out with? prostitutes

FoolSlayer: thieves

FoolSlayer: losers

TheologeanX: Masons

FriarFryUp: what of masons?

TheologeanX: Freemasonry. Baphomet. Knights Templar

[What follows from here to the end of the page is the on-going debate on whether hares chew the cud as the Bible seems to stipulate.]


WarPriest: because it is obvious is that argument goes "A. the bible word translated "chew the cud" means "raise up that which has been eaten", that modern day scientific classification regards those that "chew the cud" to regurgitate semi-digested food for rechewing, but since the scientific definition is different than the biblical one means that the two can't be compared without qualifications B. that when looking at the biblical definition and what hares do, which is to eat partially digested food released by the rectum, could very well fit under the biblical definition of the word....therefore no contradiction

dlh: maybe they had "special" hares back then WarPriest

WarPriest: dlh, ridicule is not worthy of answer

dlh: no, there are probably some fundies that will go to any lengths to show no contradiction WarPriest it is not ridicule

WarPriest: rabbits chew partially digested food expelled by the rectum....the biblical word means "to take up that which has been eaten...simple

dlh: the point WarPriest, if you will look at it closely, is that none of those definitions correctly apply to hares

WarPriest: how not

JGR: WarPriest. There were some 80 translators working on that bible. Experts in Hebrew languages. Perhaps you are wrong and they got it right the first time no?

WarPriest: JGR, word-for-word translations are by their very nature ambiguous, also, even Linnaeus's definition of cud chewers was such that hares were included

eadon-com: why would the bible talk about shit-eating hares???

dlh: the hare does not regurgitate its food

WarPriest: when they re-eat the partially digested food, they are fulfilling the definition

dlh: they don't re eat partially digested food WarPriest, that is the point, any more than if you burp up food you eat that somehow you re-eat it, LOL

dlh: Leviticus 11:6- And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, ---is unclean unto you- Well, you can go ask a zoologist and they will tell you hares do not chew their cuds.

WarPriest: dlh,,,, chewing is part of the digestive system....so if it has been chewed it has been partially digested

dlh: well, that definition would apply to all animals then would it not WarPriest?

WarPriest: but if you are really that upset about it, then I'll let you change "partially digested" to eaten. Everything still applies

dlh: then WarPriest we should eat no animals by that definition

WarPriest: the biblical definition is "takes up that which has been eaten" it refers to re-eating food that has been eaten before....

dlh: and, for the fifth time, that definition does not accurately apply to hares WarPriest

WarPriest: dlh, they eat food, quickly passes through the digestive system, then eat it again!

JGR: The only argument I hear is that hares do something similar to "chewing the cud"....they don't chew the cud though....period

WarPriest: ok, JGR, argue against the translation instead of the more precise definition...fine.

dlh: hares do not re-eat food that has been eaten before WarPriest. Your strained definition fails because it does not apply to hares

WarPriest: if I eat something, shit it, then eat it again, then I am eating food that has been eaten before

TheologeanX: refection is the eating of previously eaten and swallowed food ... hares and rabbits do it

dlh: hares do not regurgitate their food any more than cows do

dlh: actually, cows might

WarPriest: the cows do, but since the Hebrew word says nothing about regurgitation, the point is moot

dlh: but hares do not, because of their stomach system. Their stomach system is more like a humans: hares do not partially regurgitate their food WarPriest

WarPriest: I didn't say they did. straw man again

dlh: if you have a textbook that says otherwise, then show me.

dlh: well, I thought that was your definition. Give me your definition again WarPriest

WarPriest: definition for the 12th time is "taken up that which has been eaten"

dlh: and hares do not take up that which has been eaten

WarPriest: argh!!!!!!1

dlh: for the eleventh time

WarPriest: they do!

dlh: how?

WarPriest: if I eat something, shit it, eat it again, I have eaten it twice

dlh: do you take up food which has been eaten?

WarPriest: no

dlh: hares don't either, their digestive system is just like ours WarPriest

WarPriest: I don't eat my shit and I don't regurgitate and then re-eat

FoamingFundy: do you have 2-4 stomachs?

JGR: I happen to own a bible and mine says "chews the cud"....so now what WarPriest?

WarPriest: the biblical definition is "takes up that which has been eaten" it refers to re-eating food that has been eaten before....

WarPriest: JGR, you are still obviously arguing against translation, do that if you want, but there is no point in arguing when the best definitions are not used

TheologeanX: There are better arguments against inerrancy than the cud-chewing one. But it gets tricky when statements of appearance are idiomatically expressed as statements of reality.

dlh: give up on inerrancy dudes: copies of books organized by men, yawn

WarPriest: and the hares do re-eat stuff. Re-eat means "eat twice".... if I eat, ****, then eat the ****, then I have eaten twice...see the two "eats

JGR: The best definitions are not used ONLY when it suits your argument I have noticed....in all debates on these kind of subjects that is the common theme....

dlh: so dogs chew their cud too WarPriest? ... and cats? ... and fish I guess to eh?

WarPriest: dlh, there is a difference there

dlh: explain it to me. WarPriest, have you never seen a dog eat its own vomit? cats do it too

WarPriest: rabbits have a process where they chew something, swallow and quickly pass through the digestive system and then eat it again....what they eat again has not been thoroughly digested

dlh: yep, dogs do that too

FoolSlayer: gross

FoamingFundy: this twice, thing doesn't mean, vomiting, it refers to animals, who's stomach and digestive track was designed by God by the re chewing of the cud.

WarPriest: and also, rabbits do this constantly, as a matter of course, not like some cat eating its vomit sometime

dlh: well, dogs eat their own sh** too

JGR: The best definitions are not used ONLY when it suits your argument I have noticed....in all debates on these kind of subjects that is the common theme....

WarPriest: JGR, don't expect to quote the bible out of context, use inferior translations on purpose, etc. and expect to get far

dlh: so do dogs chew their cud?

FoolSlayer: shit?

FoamingFundy: no dogs don't chew their cud but dogs do eat their vomit

FoolSlayer: shit I meant shit.

dlh: the point is, WarPriest, I hope you are getting it, your definition is unreasonable. Dogs eat their own vomit and their own sh**

Carpathian: oh isn't this conversation lovely

JDoss: words of sage wisdom....with dlh

dlh: a little in-fighting with the fundy children here brother JDoss!

FoolSlayer: so what does that mean when people call each other dog?

eadon-com: where there is shit there are lawyers :)

JGR: Whenever a contradiction pops up in the good book they want to play semantic games and change the rules, definitions, translations...

dlh: of course JGR, that is the game

JGR: The King James Version is a good translation I would say. I have heard from quite a few xtians that it is the best one..

FoamingFundy: the Bible never contradicts itself, so leave it alone, can you find anything else. the Bible never needs updating, it changes with the time, God designed it that way. alllllllllllllllllllllllll other books must be updated,

FoolSlayer: spoken like a true politician FoamingFundy. More and more I think of a religious zealot as a good politician

WarPriest: dlh, scholars try to discover the definitions of the ancients....if you want to quibble with them , go ahead

dlh: I am just trying to apply reasonable rules of interpretation to the verse WarPriest

WarPriest: dlh, the ancient Hebrews can define their terms anyway they want...if they define it in such a way that the atheists who run supposed "contradiction websites" aren't pleased with then so be it,

dlh: no WarPriest, you beg the question, that is precisely what we are arguing

WarPriest: you can't argue against definitions

dlh: the verse translates chew their cud, if you have another translation I will be happy to look at it

WarPriest: dlh.....semantic arguments against translations is not profitable

WarPriest: I don't need to go get another translation, if the most precise definition of the word is already available

dlh: any Hebrew scholars here? "alah" to cause the cud to come up. Looks like a mistake to me WarPriest on that definition

WarPriest: I don't see it that way

dlh: definition from Youngs analytical concordance on the definition of "chew" from Lev. 11:6

dlh: funny, it does not define it as re-eating their crap. So where is your Hebrew definition WarPriest?

WarPriest: science did not exist with the Hebrews....they made their definitions on what they saw and knew... the hare eats, it goes through quickly, then it comes out to be re-eaten ....the re-eaten food has been digested to a point similar to the point that regurgitated food is

dlh: is is not defined that way in my concordance WarPriest, and your definition would then include dogs and cats as we already proved

WarPriest: see my last statement dlh

dlh: and I had a hare once, he never ate his crap that I saw.

eadon-com: perhaps the hare was a non-believer. Only a believer would eat their own crap

dlh: I have seen dogs and cats eat crap

LadyGodiva: are you folks STILL talking about regurgitation and offal eating?

dlh: so is the verse saying camels eat their own crap too WarPriest?

WarPriest: dlh, you can see it as a contradiction if you like...but I see this as an ambiguous situation and accord the benefit of the doubt to the author

dlh: people who don't want to see a contradiction wont find one WarPriest

WarPriest: people who want to see one always will, dlh

dlh: I just call it as I see it WarPriest, trying to give plain meaning to the verses

WarPriest: I am calling it as I see it too

dlh: with reasonable rules of interpretation. Well, you have failed to prove your expansive definition WarPriest, as it would include dogs and cats too

WarPriest: what you might call reasonable rules of interpretation might not handle special cases very well, like that of the hare

dlh: "When we run over to libraries persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? Take in hand any volume of divinity or school of metaphysics and commit it to the flames"-David Hume

WarPriest: because though the hare does eat what it expels through the anus, it is not the fully digested food of the dog, and in it's appearance might seem more like cud

dlh: what is the definition of "fully digested" WarPriest? Fiber is not fully digested by any animal

WarPriest: "fully digested" as in that the food "has passed through the bowels at a slow rate, the nutrients, calories etc, almost fully absorbed leaving almost nothing but waste"

dlh: what is a slow rate versus a fast rate? Does food pass through a camel at a fast rate?

WarPriest: well, dlh it is a comparative word.....since the hare has two different digestive procedures taking different times (this being the main difference), my meaning is evident

dlh: that is my point WarPriest, it does not have two digestive systems

WarPriest: and dlh, the waste produced by the hare in it's slow digestive phase is analogous to that produced by other mammals

WarPriest: I said "procedures"

dlh: it does not have two separate procedures either

WarPriest: and I said that the procedures differ mostly in the time it takes

dlh: the digestive system of a hare is very similar to that of a human

WarPriest: dlh....I did not say "system"!!!

dlh: and gastroenterologists do medical tests on the digestive systems of hares and rabbits because they are similar to mans

WarPriest: and I made my use of procedure clear, so quit nitpicking

dlh: ah, sir, it is you who is straining the definitions

WarPriest: whatever. I'll let you have the last word

dlh: well, you can certainly make your closing argument. I understand what you are saying, I just think you are mistaken

WarPriest: my argument is so simple and has been stated so many times in so many ways, that it isn't necessary to say more

dlh: well, the debate was fun WarPriest
