[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bible has proved remarkably accurate. By scholars and historians, people who love to find inconsistencies and errors. [/quote] The bible is loaded with scientific errors: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Biblical_scientific_errors The bible is loaded with historical errors: https://thirdmill.org/answers/answer.asp/file/39817 The bible is loaded with internal contradictions: https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/biblical-contradictions/ In addition to being loaded with immoral stuff about slavery, the rights of women, incest, rape, and many other things we have covered here many times. Happy to cite again if you need. So there's a whole bunch of evidence your post is incorrect.[/quote] Project 2024 if installed makes your post absurd. There will be no more "freedom of religion" ever again in the US. Christian Nationalism does not mean Catholics will be able to still practice or Jews or Muslims or Baptists or Church of Satan get it! Republicans are idiots. This link doesn’t identify the author of the page. It isn’t annotated. There are no sources, footnotes, links, or citations. Nothing at your link can be verified. None of the information could even be submitted as a paper at your local community college for credit in a college course because the professor would need the sources annotated and the information credited to the people who verified the information. Your professor might give you a chance to add what was necessary so they could grade your paper but that is doubtful because by the time you are in college they expect you to know that information and to do what was expected independently. The professor would already have give you a set of instructions about annotation and crediting sources and you would have failed to do those things. [/quote] I'll do the homework for you, as you ask. Tell me specifically which points you disagree with.[/quote] The author should have identified their sources and provided the exact place to find the information. That is standard across all scholarship. How about you identify the author? Each point needs a source, annotated and detailed in the footnotes. You can provide that, as the author (who is anonymous and unknown) did not. Every work of scholarship must have ab identified author and list their education, degrees, etc. [/quote] Since you won't list the points you disagree with? You won't accept that I will provide the citations? Why not?[/quote] I would like to know the author of this link and where they found their information? You can provide it here, no one is stopping you from providing it. Please proceed. [/quote] The first post, https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Biblical_scientific_errors, has citations for every single claim. It even contains mathmatical proof therein. The second one https://thirdmill.org/answers/answer.asp/file/39817 as an example: [i]One such example is that of Acts 5, where Luke writes of the Pharisee Gamaliel's speech (vv. 34-39). This speech would have taken place around AD 35-40, yet it refers to Theudas' revolt of AD 46-47 as a past event. [/i] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theudas#:~:text=Theudas%20(%2F%CB%88%CE%B8ju%CB%90d,in%20a%20short%2Dlived%20revolt. [quote]Furthermore, Gamaliel is made to say that "Judas the Galilean" raised a revolt which followed that of Theudas - but Judas' revolt was in AD 6 or 7! We know these dates from Josephus, most notably, as well as from other records.[/quote] Josephus good enough a source for you? Unless you think Josephus was a forgery, which is fine with me, but opens a lot of other discussions. Maybe these are better historical inaccuracy links for you: https://religions.wiki/index.php/The_Bible_is_not_a_reliable_historical_source https://biblefails.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/scientific-and-historical-inaccuracies-in-the-bible/ I have many more if you need them. The third one: https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/biblical-contradictions/ is self citing as it is simply textual criticism of a single book. There you go![/quote] So you don’t know the author of the page? [/quote] Which page you are talking about? I have listed multiple. What issue do you take with what has been cited? You wanted citations, you got them. So until you provide equally cited contradictions, you can't even dispute, let alone settle, the points made, and they will stand. Why can't you just have your book as a wonderful metaphor for your life? Why do you have to make it literal? Don't you wonder what shrimp tastes like? I am certain you have never eaten it, since it is explicitly forbidden, just like gay sex.[/quote] [i]Why can't you just have your book as a wonderful metaphor for your life? Why do you have to make it literal?[/i] Why do you care what [u]I[/u] do? Do you think other people must live according to [u]your[/u] rules?[/quote] [b]This is perhaps the most ironic post in the history of DCUM.[/b] PP, look at the title of the thread. THIS thread. If people weren't trying to make other people live according to their religion, we wouldn't be having this discussion. It's YOU that wants what you claim is unacceptable.[/quote] Nobody makes you believe their religion. America has freedom that is unique regarding religion; we can choose to be religious or not religious. We don’t have an official state religion. We can believe whatever we want. Each person chooses what they want to believe. It’s a founding principle. How are you forced to live according to biblical standards?[/quote][/quote]
