Theists Posting to Naturalism

[Seasanctuary]

What's up with the regulars posting to threads on this forum? Is it just the case that so little happens on this board that people forget what it is? Or are people just responding to the "recent threads" view?

Any speculations?

In my case I'm pretty sure it's because I'm retarded.

Thanks.

I didn't know "Naturalism" could only be posted to by naturalists. I thought it was just the "topic" naturalism. If you want your own forum go ahead and create naturalismweb.com. Besides, are we Christians that scary? ;) I'm curious why it bothers you.

:D

:sigh:... No Theists can post in the Naturalism (other than in a moderator capacity).

How utterly... mysterious.

I like how all attempts to answer the OP question are shot down by Xavier. Hilarity.

I've seen the comment before that it's due to recent post inspections. More than likely, though, it's a case of spoiled, Western Christians who just can't stand to be told they aren't allowed to post any where they want on their precious Theology Web. These zealots think they own everything.

Well, let's see what they have to say about that.


For more sensible understanding of the above paranoia, please use a rag to clean up the sarcasm dripping from it.

There's no evidence that Jesus ever existed. In fact, the nation of the Jews itself is a myth propogated by medieval spanish heretics.

That is an interesting assertion that I have studied before. Joshua ben Pantera supposedly lived about 100 years before the proposed time of Jesus. His father was a radical as well and various stories have him being hauled around in a cart for 40 days and eventually hung from a tree right before Passover. The similarities are very interesting. I believe there is a book out there that is about this guy, something like Jesus, 100 years before the Christ. On the infidels.org web site they have a section that list the four pillars of objection to the Jesus Myth. Well done!

Next is the heavy influence of Paul who never met Jesus. He was supposedly a devoute Jew and Roman citizen who took over the early Jesus movement. Remember this guy knew that the Romans didn't put up with grief from the locals. Do it our way or we destroy everything! In a last ditch attempt to pacify the Jewish zealots he embraced and tried to expand the jewish sect promoting, "Love thine enemy". His heavy promotion of a pacifist religious perspective was to prevent what eventually happened anyway, the raizing of Jeruselum in 76AD.

Although there is strong evidence that Jesus never existed and his mythology includes heavy influence from other previous sources, I would put a higher probability that he existed but wasn't really "created" until the "bigger than life" events that were added post humously and especially as expressed by Paul.

It's rather funny to see xians posting here. You know they are just so freaking annoyed by something and can't keep quiet. I often get that same feeling reading the theist-only forums - but I possess self-control - something they obviously lack.

God yes- how often have I seen utterly absurd posts/assertions in fora which I can't post in!

I usually stay away from the theist-only forums now- they contain too much fawning adoration and infighting to interest me now days.

"Isn't god great?"

"Yeah, he's amasing!"

"Aren't catholics pants?"

"Yeah, heretics each and every one of them"

Don't think I've ever read any theist-only forums. I find pol sci so rampantly illiberal and frightening that I daren't look at what they get up to behind closed doors.

Yes. I ventured out of the Natural Sciences forum to see what else was going on at TWeb, but I didn't last long. It was horribly depressing. Not to mention it's terribly unhealthy to want to strangle yourself after reading some of that stuff.

It's much nicer in the NatSci forum (and even in the Cosmogony and Applied Proctology forums), where I can handle the mangling of data. I have a much more difficult time with the mangling of humanity in PoliSci.
