You are missing the point BD.It only takes one person to abuse that feature to stuff up a topic and they could easily render multiple topics useless or very hard to follow. That is all I am saying.I am the one who has to fix things when they break down and I know how human nature works.Do you honestly think that every person here would honour the…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 03 2010,05:57)I've no intention to bring BD down at all.  Love the christian, hate the christianity that makes them believe silly things; love the muslim, but reject the nasty ideology that turns an otherwise decent human being into an automaton unthinkingly spouting ideology.It is not the religious person at fault generally.…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 02 2010,19:41)Can you share the link t8?  I'd be interested to know their way of determining colour.  I assume it was fossil and not genetic evidence.The whole world was in black and white until 1908, according to the evidence of cinema.  Not surprising that today's dinosaurs can be seen in colour.Stuart“Pigments have been fo…[Read more]

You do not understand the nature of code Stu.Many things that are not even closely related share the same code. This is true of DNA, software, and anything else that uses building blocks. e.g., in binary everything boils down to 0s and 1s, (on, off). In the physical realm we have Quantum where 1s and 0s are not static. From Quantum Mechanics,…[Read more]

It's called scripture. Jesus is certainly special because he is the messiah and the son of God. God made all things through him and for him as it is written. He is the head and has pre-eminence. He is the image of the invisible God. No one else fits that bill.God is invisible and Jesus is the full expression of God in bodily form. Whereas everyone…[Read more]

I am not saying that.I am saying that as a whole, there is more reason for the Regular Members group to honour the agreement with usage of the edit button and the Skeptics group less so. I agree that you may be trustworthy, but it also depends on what you believe. For example, a Muslim could use Jihad as an excuse to destroy something. I don't…[Read more]

Thanks WJ, that is truly humble and noble of you.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Feb. 02 2010,09:02)What I will do at this point is where I see an edit made when posting in a debate or response I will ask what was the nature of the edit, hopefully they will respond in kind and truthfully.It shouldn't matter unless the edit is older than any replying post.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Feb. 02 2010,09:02)I have even read posts responded to them and then realize that they have been edited. Even T8 gets to edit in a debate with me, How is that fair?But I realize I should do exactly what you do and try to edit the best I can before I post, the only problem is if someone wants to edit their post in response to…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Feb. 02 2010,02:25)Ah, just as I thought. You believe that only “Christians” will be honest and not edit posts to either misrepresent or otherwise do harm to this forum. It shows that you are bigoted against those who do not share your god belief and doubt they can practice honesty because they do not fear any god.But that is OK,…[Read more]

Yes that is enough. If you have done that, then good on you.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Feb. 02 2010,08:49)You can't simply say that Jesus is the prototype as the scripture says that in the beginning God made man in his image, in the image of God made He, male and female.Bod, there are many firstborns and many sons of God.

kj. He doesn't want to believe judging by his posts.If you don't want to accept something, then you probably won't.

Thanks Bod.
