If the statement you gave me, "You should never believe anybody who tells you they have 'the truth'", is not true, just say so. If it is 'the truth' then by your own admission I should not believe you.

I suppose in your position it's the best bet you've got for telling yourself you've 'won' the discussion, which seems so very important to you.

So when your bible says men are worth 50 shekels but women only 30, that came from your god? Or the flood story where getting back at a nasty tribe of humans, your god destroys almost all land life forms on Earth? How can you believe that such nonsense actually came from a god? Or the tests, like Abe told to kill his son to verify his loyalty when an omniscient god would have known when it made the universe who would be bad and who would be good.

You are fully aware of the meaning of the sentence as given. Why do you persist in the pretence that you are not? For whom do you maintain this charade?

When you wrote the sentence to me were you busy telling me 'the truth' or not?
Originally posted by dj2becker You obviously think you know better.
So you really believe women are OBVIOUSLY worth less then men, since it is right there in your bible. That allows you to put down women 'Those dam women drivers', those weak willed women shouldn't be doing a man's job, they should be home barefoot and pregnant". That's about it isn't it.
It could NEVER be that only men wrote those verses could it? It's in the BIBLE so it OBVIOUSLY came from a god.

Would you mind quoting the verse and explaining the context while you are at it?

My first instinct is to tell you to go and fornicate with yourself. Yes, I think I'll go with that one. If you wish to continue the discussion without playing silly word games, let me know.

Well you certainly act like someone who should be lecturing me about truth. 🙄
