RE: Does the bible being unchanged= divine inspiration?
A red letter day in the life of the Fireball! I had to look up two words. "ourania" and "Contrafibularities". The first is a variant spelling of Urania, which I knew of in this spelling, but the latter is just a made-up word in Brit-lands.

Yes, that is where honest historians are, not to be mistaken with sales pitchmen theologians who are bias apologists. But legends and myths start with deluded people who don't understand what they saw, or are deluded and lying to get attention. |

That's one way....not the only way.
Unless you think that Mayans actually saw a feathered serpent? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl Quote:In the Postclassic period (900–1519 AD), the worship of the feathered serpent deity was based in the primary Mexican religious center of Cholula. It is in this period that the deity is known to have been named "Quetzalcoatl" by his Nahua followers. In the Maya area he was approximately equivalent to Kukulkan and Gukumatz, names that also roughly translate as "feathered serpent" in different Mayan languages. Sometimes people just make shit up. Atheism is NOT a Religion. It's A Personal Relationship With Reality! |

From Banjo, HISTORY BUFF!!!!!!!!
![]() Little known fact about the Council of Nicea. On the first day there was a great feast. The more important priests had the roast pig stuffed with fish and dates. The lesser priests from Africa had fried door mice in garlic. The quality of the wine went directly with the food. Falernian for the upper class, vinegar for the Africans etc. By the time the meal was finished, Scholasticus reports that a Byzantine priest began making fun of the Africans. He claimed they were stupid because their skin was dark. That their opinions were the opinions of the very door mice they have nibbled upon. Taken aback by this insult, one of the black priests turned over the table killing a slave who was cleaning up the piss from under the table. (Pissing on the floor at a feast being the Roman way.) Sadly the slave was African, which made the German priests laugh all the more. "You see what you have done? You killed the piss boy!" This is why the Arian race is superior. Our opinions matter most. Constantine walked in at this time and the Germans began going on about blacks and Jews. Constantine was unhappy with the drunken Germans. And so the Arian controversy began. Many years later Adolf Hitler, while hoola hooping, said how angry he was with Constantine. That he could make the empire he created last longer than the one in Constantinople. This is how WWII began. NOTE: Member, Tomasia uses this site to slander other individuals. He then later proclaims it a joke, but not in public. I will call him a liar and a dog here and now. Banjo. |

You sure he used the term, "primitive minds"? Doubt that he did if he is a credible historian. Human intelligence has not changed significantly for maybe 100ky, if what I have read is correct. What has changed is our knowledge, and therefore understanding, and, perhaps more importantly in this instance, our politics. Religion is a form of politics in many ways, less so now for Christianity than Islam and Judaism perhaps. Christianity is fast losing its iron grip on the Western nations at least. As much due to its own actions and inactions as anything else perhaps. So, blame ignorance for the origin and that and politics for success of the bible, not primitive minds. It took smart, inventive (if ignorant) people to make those stories up and make them stick! I use "ignorant" in the sense of "not knowing". I am constantly reminded of my own ignorance. Tomorrow is precious, don't ruin it by fouling up today. |

Quote:You sure he used the term, "primitive minds"? No. I said "primitive minds." I'm trying to keep the discussion above the level of calling theists "fucktards." Atheism is NOT a Religion. It's A Personal Relationship With Reality! |
