I avoided putting this in CT because I didn't want to write a thesis or an argument about the article (lazy).

I look forward to seeing the evidence when he reveals it. This should be interesting no matter what is said.

Disclaimer: I was raised Christian.

all religion is a rehash of a rehash anyway. they all have similar stories etc. so this is cool i suppose but i can't say it's that big of a deal anyway

inb4 stuff

you might have just opened a huge can of worms by making this thread

i'd like to see how this plays out though

[Reincarnate]

Have people learned nothing from the Obama birthers?

In before "fake evidence" and/or "God is testing our faith."

This will go nowhere. Preaching to the choir, so to speak, in terms of audience.

you mean just like you're willing to accept the evidence before seeing it?

Not what I'm saying.

We already have enough evidence. If what we have won't convince someone, nothing will imo.

Many believers dismiss direct evidence of contradiction all the time.

This post is original content.

This will just spark controversy, just like most religious debates. Barely anyone's opinions will change, with those who do were probably on the edge of a religious preference anyways.

I have a feeling this thread will go somewhere. I'm more worried for the guy that's going to present his stuff in front of hundreds.

Lynch mobs everywhere.

Fake Evidence

God Is Testing Our Faith

[MixMasterLar]

Anyone still have that old FFR comic about the posters saying the name "God" and everyone freakin' out?

[AlexDest]

discussing anything about religion

[justin_ator]

Fake Faith.

Evidence Is Testing Our God!

ok that article says that "jesus said to "give unto caesar" and told jews to pay their taxes"... that is a misqoute and a misunderstanding. he said no such thing. what he said was "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's".... this does not say to give to caesar because it does not specify which things are caesars and which things are god's... it is open to interpretation. the writer of that article lost all credibility in my book with that mistake.

After reading the article I find this guy doesn't have a strong argument for his claims. "After all, the authors did not want the average believer to see what they were doing, but they did want the alert reader to see it. An educated Roman in the ruling class would probably have recognised the literary game being played."

Seriously? The government makes Dan Brown-like puzzles for some amusement? This guy is the typical conspiracy theorist.

That being said I'm atheist after all, which doesn't change the fact that I think this guy has no leg to stand on lol

lmfao what is this garbage
