Really? Can you point out where I have told folks to adhere to my ideology?

I'll bite. I consider myself A/Theist, living in the slash. I believe "god" is a placeholder term used to identify a gap in our vocabulary to express the existence of the unknowable. Kinda like "zero". Zero isn't a digit but rather a reference to nothingness within the realm of mathematics. It...

Ya know Napoleon didn't design his overcoat but he did have a hand in it!

I see someone else hasn't changed! So much for growth, but that's not my cross to bear. :)

I know you are sincere and meant what you said in the most noble and honest of terms and I welcome anyone who looks out for my best interest. I really do appreciate your kindness in our differences. Even though it wasn't your intent, what you stated is kinda Christianeze gaslighting, ignited...

I actually agree, but the trolling of it all is fun anyway. :D

Talk to a trans person for that answer. They know better than I would because they speak from experience and my answer isn't. From my conversations with trans folks, it is the matching of genitalia with the brain that helps them adjust to their internal identity. And I do agree that until a...

Cool.

It isn't. But even if it was, it wouldn't be a faith that I would want to be a part of.

Is this a challenge? LOL!

How could they have been "converted"? There was no Christianity to convert to. Besides, Jonah claimed to be Hebrew and that would have been a redundancy if they all worshiped the same deity.

ALL religions are based on faith. The problem is trying to prove which one to have faith in. Once we figure that out (which has yet to be done throughout human history, then we have to drill down as to which theology to adhere to, then the hermeneutic application, etc. Remember, Catholics...

Yo! Helping keep the streak alive!

Exactly. Faith is not evidence: it is a presupposition of and a belief in the unverifiable. And if it is "God's plan" for miraculous healing, which "god"? Again, both of the above statements indicate we EACH determine our belief systems based on our personal purview, not on physical evidence...

Ethics are cultural and in essence, relative. And ethics can be either good or bad. There is no binary source of ethics. Stealing food from a grocery store - generally bad. Stealing food from a grocery store when there is no money and to feed a starving baby, generally good. The question I ask...

Again, revelation and incarnation can only be hypothesis, based on relative informational exposure and a somewhat cultural bias. Hence, human projection.

Of course. But I don't believe humanity has the capability or the knowledge to comprehend the nuances of what that truth is or how that truth can/should be related to behaviors. We are so finite, humanity will never be able to come to all those conclusions. Hence, science changes as information...

Meh. Relative human reasoning is all ANY of us has because nothing (including God, IMHO) is at one with itself. Not worried about being right. After all, I am allowed to drift toward truth as it is revealed. I'm more worried about being ethical. :)

I'm happy for ya. :)

I'm not into CCM anymore either but I don't think it is a "movement" just yet. Flamy is the only Queen artist I know that produces CCM music so he is probably the first to break through.
