Exactly. A 2000 year old book of nonsense.
Joe Smith may have upped the ante with his Book of Mormon though.
Mark Twain aptly called it “chloroform in print”.

What is magical is something coming from nothing by a force of nothing. Sounds very scientific to me.

You just don’t get it. The Christian is not required to prove the existence of God. Belief in a creator is based on faith, not proof.

I don’t even understand the court room analogy. Makes no sense to me. This is not a court room, not even close. The man is innocent of murder until the prosecutor can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he is not.

The Bible has been there. The Word of God is eternal. So now some person comes along and claims the Bible is false. The burden of proof is on the believer to prove the Bible to be true? That’s just absurd.

We can read all the anthropology books that there is, what is most important about the nature of man is our hearts are deceitful. Not sure what anthropology has to say about that.

Anthropology is science that says: morality is not science. It is a fear-based construct of imagination, limited to homo-sapiens casting for a sense of security and control.

Sorry about your pain, officer.

On the original topic, Gov. Ige has postponed unpaid furloughs for state employees now that the $900 billion federal relief bill has been signed.

Hawaii's Department of Education will receive $170 million new dollars from the Fed.

Not in any pain. Just pointing out that our hearts are deceitful. It’s who we are. It’s our nature.

Okay, we’ll see.

Is morality a made up thing that isn’t part of our nature?
