Bastardizing Words : "The Truth"

There are no scientific studies on things that don't exist

You missed the point. He made a claim that he can't back up.

You guys don't get a free pass with half-backed claims.

No, you missed the point. You are asking for something that is ridiculous. Science doesn't do studies on imaginary things. Do theologists use their studies to come up with how to create rocket ships? Tell us one imaginary thing that science studied in order to prove it was imaginary. Just one. If you can't, stop shifting the burden of proof.

What's the basis for his claim that the resurrection of Jesus was impossible? It wasn't scientific studies, we know that. Just wanted to drill that into his head.

So what's the basis, Arlette?

No.
If every single person with religious faith believes theirs is "the truth", that means, they can't all be the truth. It doesn't eliminate THE TRUTH.
Just because you can't prove who's wrong, doesn't eliminate THE TRUTH, either.

It just means you can't prove it.
And we can REASONABLY ask you......................... why can't you?

There can be all sorts of reasons as to why you can't prove it.
For all we know................... the problem lies with you.

But all religious people seem very confident they have it. They all have equal strength of faith. So how does one know they have achieved the ULTIMATE truth?

Because, in other things in life, from personal issues to science, "truth" is always contingent only on our latest, best observations and the most clever models yet we can bring to bear on those observations. There is no way we can know any of that is "ultimately true".

The basis is physical reality. Once again, science doesn't study imaginary things like resurrections. How would science study it?

You make dozens of bs claims every day. That's yet another steaming pile. We did a one year Old Testament survey, going through the entire OT book by book. So I'm quite familiar with OT theology.

It's YOU and your gang of dilettante novices who are embarrassing yourselves with your kindergarten bs.

So let me ask you this, did you do your year long study using the King James version of the bible or did you do the study use the Hebrew script? Do you understand the Hebrew language and all of its nuances in the meaning of the Hebrew words? If the answer is no, then all you have done is to put your Christian stance on a Hebrew text.

The absolute and definitive arrogance of taking a word like "truth", and bastardizing it to the point of being a passive-aggressive insult ...

You mean calling someone who demands accurate data on the distributions of steel and concrete down a 1360 ft skyscraper a Truther is an insult?

ROFLMBAO

Funny thing is the offenders just need to change one word and this all goes away.

Instead of saying "the truth" all they need to do is say "my truth".

Problem solved.

But they won't, because they are too afraid to.
 
Anyone who comes at you with "the truth" is probably a child molester. That's "the truth" they can't get out. I learned this from Kurt Vonnegut in "God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater". Turns out Vonnegut was right.

Look, you know Truthers have tremendous personal problems, right? You know being a complete disaster is what drives them to special status via conspiracy theory. They are, in fact, trying to tell you something.

If someone tells you, "you just don't know about the truth!" You do not want to know "the truth". You really don't.

That is quite the outrageous, hyperbolic claim. You just asserted that some posters in this very sub-forum are probably child molesters. My advice to you is to ignore writers of fiction, and focus on reality. But now it is too late to delete your post as I have quoted it for posterity.

I do what I want. I believe what I said. **** scumbags pushing "the truth", they're pedos.

And I'll tell you something else. Anyone who doesn't believe there are pedos at an internet debate website is a stupid piece of shit.

You are off the rails on this one.

You're all "how dare you! I've saved it! You can't deny it now!"

And then "I was laughing."

Please. People have greater attention spans than fish. Your lie is stupid.
