    Universal Legal Representation

    You're a Christian first. Your first allegience isn't to the Constitution of the United States but to God's word and righteousness. You cannot preserve the rights of some by trampling on the rights of others, Idolater! I can't possibly work. It's the ideology that you think you have. I don't...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Good grief! You aren't going to start crying are you? No one is going to ban you for answering a direct question about whether you believe that God authored the bible. If He didn't who gives a damn whether it's allegorical or not? By the way, there isn't a...

    You're an idiot. You need to wake up!

    Universal Legal Representation

    Saying it doesn't make it so. Besides, we have universal legal services, free of charge, in all criminal proceedings already. Just ask someone who's ever been represented by a free lawyer whether he was worth more than what he got paid? I suppose it depends on your definition of slave. It is...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    All my posts are still here for the entire world to read, Idolater. I've not only already answered this question, in principle, I just got through answering it again! Asked and answered! I EXPLICITLY stated, "God is the Logos, not a light bulb!" That, I'm pretty sure, is a verbatim quote from...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Been there! Irrelevant. It was a statement of fact. You can pay as little or as much attention to it as you choose. The point is that I will not waste time with people who refuse to answer direct questions with substantive answers. I was simply telling you that you have a choice. You can be...

    Universal Legal Representation

    No, it wouldn't. It would just turn lawyers into slaves and you'd get the same quality of legal representation from them that you'd expect from any other sort of slave. Do you like the quality of service we're getting out of public school teachers? I can promise you that lawyers would be worse...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Asked and answered. The context determines it. Not just the context of the specific verse but of the whole bible as well. God did not create Himself but God did create light, Idolater. Light, unlike space and time, is a physical thing that exists in the physical/created universe. If God were...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Oh boy, here we go! That's because it sounded to me like that was your point. You didn't say it outright but you did a Mexican hat dance around it three times. It isn't the same question and your less than direct answer is what left the door open, not my question. I didn't declare anything...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Instead of belly-aching about it, why don't you just take his response at face value and respond to it with "It's not irrelevant just because you claim it to be. Explain why it's irrelevant."

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    You could have simply said, "No, I don't think God authored the Bible." and saved yourself a lot of time. You have to understand that your post here, in the mind of most Christians, disqualifies you in any discussion that pertains to Christianity or the Christian worldview except as an...

    Universal Legal Representation

    Tell that to Donald Trump. They aren't afraid to burn down your whole life if you say the wrong thing and they're happy to turn you into a ward of the state if you commit what they consider to be a crime. The left has no problem with enforcing arbitrary laws but let someone advocate for actual...

    Universal Legal Representation

    So your solution is to force people to provide legal services for far less than that service is worth to people who cannot pay for it and have done nothing to earn it at the expense of people who do not need it and don't want to pay for it. Is there ANY law or policy that liberals advocate that...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    You have to read more than one verse at a time... I John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    You're right, you can't conceive of whatever it is you're talking about. The reason you can't conceive of it is because it makes no sense. The reason it makes no sense is because you're contradicting yourself. Have you ever heard of a stolen concept fallacy? It happens when someone uses a...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    He is light in an analogous sense. He isn't talking about the sort of light you see with your eyes but about the kind of "light" that comes on when you understand something. God is the Logos not the light bulb! John 1:1 In the beginning was Logos, and Logos was with God, and Logos was God. 2...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    If I tell you that space does not exist, where do you get that I'm saying that it has always existed? It hasn't ever existed! Space is an abstraction. It is not a thing that exists ontologically. It is an idea. We use the concept to discuss where things are relative to other things. That's it...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    I love that you caught that I was alluding to the 'God did it' objection that atheist often throw around. Every time I hear it, I want to say, "Well, yeah! He did do it!" Anyway, whenever someone tries to explain these sorts of things, I always think of the miracles that Jesus performed. Do...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    I sort of intuitively buck an the very idea of thinking that we can explain such things. I don't mind it in terms of the mental exercise and I understand that you'll never answer questions that you don't try to answer but at the end of the day, there may very well be an insufficient amount of...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    What? I don't see ANY connection between what I said and pantheism. Explain it to me.
