How to praise a member's post:

- Next to the user's post that you like, click on "MPG Donation".
- Enter how many tokens you'd like to donate and enter a comment on that particular post. It'll then send a PM to that user and also automatically post in this thread the message you entered.
- MPG donations may not be used for anything other than to praise a post or to acknowledge agreement. It cannot be used to denigrate, debate, or question a post.

"Testable predictions" does seem a rather formidable hurdle for theistic claims to clear.

Your addition is very cool. I really need to learn the greek and Hebrew I think.

It takes much patience and hard work to make the case for the resurrection to a skeptical audience. Thanks for both (especially the patience, of which I personally need much more). P.S. I don't know if 500 is a lot of tokens or not.

"Christianity is left with some great moral lessons from His parables, the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, and his constant and powerful criticism of religious hypocrisy. These are lessons learned by everyone except a large segment of fundamentalist/evangelical Christians who appear to focus on being against Gays, against a woman's right to choose, and in essence emulating the Pharisees."

Emulating the Pharisees!
So true. 'Us vs Them' creates unity afterall.
You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU

It is sad that in an age of freedom some people are enslaved by the nomads of old. - Marco

If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb

"we have enough to do finding meaning in the Lord's pronouncements without introducing other enigmas."

Speaking exactly what came to my mind in a debate about 'clarity of message'. An excellent response!

A post worthy of note for presenting some solid evidence when reasonably asked to, and not inflaming debate by adding comments.

(I'd also note the following post by Goose adds useful context, in my opinion).

It's been a pleasure reading your posts and observing you patiently dismantle your interlocutors positions with logic and reason all the while maintaining your own. Nicely done.
