[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]cleaning up the quoting mess

[quote]Ummm.... You're not "questioning" anything. You're completely sure you know all the answers. All of the answers.

You also said in another post that you "love verbal nit-picking." Which, translated, means snark and insults and the sort of childish semantics games that most of us got over in high school.

Tell us why this is any different from "trolling"???[/quote]

love the mature use of "Ummm," as it set the tone for your response and turned off readers immediately
Learn how to lure people in before you begin with the childish insults.  That's a tip.

I never said I loved "verbal nit-picking."  Are you that obsessed with these threads that you're now memorizing posts?

Who's trolling?

With each response, I listed historical evidence proving that Jesus and Abraham didn't exist outside of Story Land.  Furthermore, I did recently add that IF more evidence is discovered that contradicts anything I've researched, I'd gladly be open to it.  But most of the evidence came from the bible - cyclical reasoning.

So I'm no troll, nor am I closed-minded.

Before scientific reasoning evolved, people created gods to explain natural phenomena. Monotheism (and monolatry) evolved from that line of thinking.  There is evidence suggesting that the original god of the Jews was part of a pair.

Over the ages, religion was used to control people through rudimentary forms of government, as there was no separation of church and state.  Public officials in ancient Rome also had religious roles.  So lines were gray.

It's still used to control today, and that's apparent in these posts.

I prefer hardcore evidence, and when there are no credible resources outside of the bible proving Jesus' existence, I have a difficult time believing he was more than just a story.  Furthermore, don't you think that his miracles would have captured the attention of many more people?  Where are those accounts?

Hell, we have more information on ancient Greek theatre than we do on Jesus. And what came first?  [/quote][/quote]

Story Land. Childish. That's a tip.

You sound like a real gem yourself. Our families should get together for New Year's Eve![/quote]
