I would, except I've already signed on for three, and only one of those has gotten any attention so far. :(

Because it was old news before you even got here. Exile Nephilim have been around since 1994, and the Bible has been around longer. You'd be optimistic to think that you were the first to notice this after 12 years.

Did I commit a massacre with a saw? Perhaps I simply saw a massacre? Who knows?

Haven't read the whole thread and stuff, but isn't one distinction between ID and Creationism that ID does not necessarily conflict with evolution, and be more concerned with the origin of life in the first place?

If I have it right, the simplest possible form of life required for evolution to occur must be able to:

a) Reproduce.

b) Gain sustenance from raw minerals/sunlight/whatever, as opposed to gaining it from other organisms (since we're talking the very first life here).

If you could build a robot that could do those two things, you would be pretty damn clever. I think it's fair to say that such an organism would be a heck of a lot more complicated than a CD.

Why on earth did I imagine this topic would remain dispassionate? I'm like that giant ogre in Tatterdemalion. "Hmm. Maybe it'll taste good THIS time..."

That said, I like Alorael's "multiple definitions" point.

I met him, and posted about it here. His name is Johnny Lee Clary.

He actually left the KKK before he became a born-again Christian, and Reverend Wade Watts (the one black guy) didn't convert him as such, but he did certainly play a major role in changing his life. But yes, he does have an amazing story.

I always come up against confusion on this point. I personally define religion as "a set of beliefs about the spiritual realm". Under this definition, Atheism and (proper) Agnosticism count as religions. This makes sense to me, since I see no difference between "beliefs about religion" and "religious beliefs", which is a distinction some people like to draw.

Comments?

What I set out to prove was actually that it's functionally irrelevant whether we are talking about different gods or different concepts of the same god.

One person says there is a green apple, one says there is a red apple, (and another says there is no apple at all). Does it make a difference whether they're arguing whether the apple is green or red or if they're arguing whether the red apple or the green apple exists?

Let's say Allah is a red apple and Yahweh is a green apple. Is there a meaningful difference between disagreeing over the colour of the apple and believing in different apples?

Since in the Bible they are packaged together, I think it would be fair to at least say that your view isn't exactly universal.
