22 Jul '17 21:57Originally posted by @moonbusCannot be overstated, but the believers don't care. I kinda see their point though. If you believe then all objections are kinda put into a box that says here is the devil, or something.
There is very little which is original in the NT...

23 Jul '17 22:06Originally posted by @moonbusYour account of Boddhisatvas is not entirely accurate, but in the right spirit
There is very little which is original in the NT. Nearly every episode and tenet has an analog in the ancient literature of the Mediterranean or North Africa or India. A god who is incarnated in human form, betrayed, killed, resuscitated. People being raised from the dead. A good god and an evil god who duel for humanity, the good god eventually winning in ...[text shortened]... re all there in pagan religions (Zoroastrianism, Gnosticism, Osiris mythology, etc.). Just read.

24 Jul '17 23:08Originally posted by @sonhouseMan's inhumanity to man is well-attested in all cultures, including our own. UNICEF estimates that 3 million children die every year due to avoidable/preventable malnutrition. That's a damning indictment of the OECD nations which massively over-produce food and waste much of it.
