Moravian comments on Nov 25, 2022:

The supposed "evidence" in the writing of Josephus is known to be faked and was inserted by others after his death so the only evidence that Jesus existed is from the gospels written many years after his death. The gospel of Mark was the first to be written and the others are thought to be copies with some stuff added. For example the nativity does not appear in the gospel of Mark and was probably added to give Jesus a divine character. The god of the new testament is quite different to the original Jewish god who was vindictive, nasty, jealous and genocidal. Not a nice little god at all.

Moravian comments on Nov 29, 2022:

Not in the minds of theists. They think that a prayer or loud incantation to their god will change reality. I doubt if many realists would think that way. An example ;- I was on an organised walk at the weekend led by a retired church minister. There was a Ukrainian guy in the group and he got a message on his phone that his home town had just been bombed by the Russians. The group leader gathered us together in the middle of the forest and said "I think we should say a prayer for the people of the town. I was expecting a moment of silent contemplation but not we got the whole "almighty god intervene etc said in a loud voice. I believe he honestly thought that it would do something. I thought he was totally deluded.

Many years ago I was working at Heathrow airport and on a bus from the airport to Hounslow West underground station an American guy asked me to tell him where to get off for the train. Ok I said and half way to the station he saw a sign saying "subway" and before I could stop him he jumped of the bus and disappeared down the stairway. I bet he was surprised when he came up on the other side of the road.

He will be enjoying his retirement now, that is if he hasn't died from overwork.

Sounds like a religious apologist to me. He says that the "troubles" in NI are socio economic and not religious. Of course they are but why are there those divides. Because of one one side you have Roman catholics and on the other Protestants. Bin Laden came from a wealthy family so if if he wanted to help the poverty and inequalities in the Muslim world why not use some of his families wealth for that instead of blowing people up. The 9/11 terrorists were from middle class Saudi Arabian families. Would they have killed themselves if paradise didn't await for them and their families ?. I doubt it.
