But if I believe that reality = God, then I guess anything is possible.

Semantics. You don't know what reality is anymore than anyone else does though, and we never will.

Not now he's a christian, he'll give me his shirt and let me slap him again

I could still choose this path...

Did you miss the word "believe"?

Believing things doesn't make them so

It does in the eye of the believer though doesn't it?

The opposite of Jesus' teachings

That doesn't invalidate my statement. If I personally believe that reality = God, then believing in Jesus is hardly a massive leap. Unsure how you deviate from that to me unable to conclusively prove the existence of God...

Wow the first Christian to ever do that . Plus its a joke.



Maces are far too inefficient

Using God as a placeholder for "Reality" is totally semantic. I call reality God sometimes too but I'm an atheist pretty much, it renders the word meaningless if God has the divine and interventionist properties that most people of faith claim.

You're not going to send your unit after me for heresy or anything are you?

Yep, I envy the peace of mind it gives to the pious in a cold godless universe.

Yes but not entirely against the bibles.

Genesis 14 onwards.

Rubbish. You dont understand the concept clearly. Fine if you disagree with the premise, but to grossly miscategorise it and dismiss it is out of pocket.

Concept of what, God?

Bronze age barbarian tribes and their Abrahamic sky daddies are your guides now?

is that worse than a troublemaking jew?

Ahh spoken like a true non believer would. What a conundrum

That guy hated the temples being used as tax collectors for the Romans, cost him his life but ironically the Romans later found those Gospels to be a very effective opiate and tool of social control, baptism/mindwashing/brainwashing

I'd say whoever owns Onlyfans is the culprit there. Prostitution was rife in the New Testament, rabbi Yesu loved them.

Why did he love them? Because they were the most sinful, their profession was the most shameful. But through repentance and ABANDONING their sin, they could be saved.

Might want to brush up on your theology.

Well we only have reports from decades after his death in archaic languages to go on, believing those words are divinely inspired is the leap of faith.
