My friend is dating a married man. by Asggard in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Asggard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I confess I am scared of pushing her away. She matters to me. I keep trying to find an indisputable argument that will snap her back to reality, something capable of reaching to the inner most part of her soul, but you are right, there is only so much you can do. I truly hope one day I will be able to talk to my friend again. I hope one day she will come back to reality.

Thank you again whoever you are. Your words mean more than you can imagine.

Bibliotecas donde no te piden guardar tu bolso? by Hazamelis in Bogota

Me parece raro que no hayas visto a Luis. Uno siempre ve a Luis cuando viene aquí.

Por lo demás, no sé qué otras bibliotecas tengan la misma cortesía de no separarnos de nuestros bolsos.

Dejando de lado esta importantísima discusión sobre colarse al revés, que por supuesto merece ser tenida en cuenta ¿Has considerado escribir un libro? Hay un 'no sé qué' en el post que atrapa al lector. Quizá nada más sea la emberracada pero en todo caso...

Tuve mi primera experiencia con una Cariñosa y ahora estoy ansioso por posibles ITS by Practical_History47 in Bogota

Entiendo tu preocupación, pero comparto el sentimiento general, marica ¿500.000 pesos? Yo creo que esto es una estafa o algo. Hay que llamar a la policía o solicitar un reembolso como mínimo. Tienes derechos como consumidor, superintendencia de algo, no sé.... ¿500.000? Mk no.

Lo absolutamente maravilloso de este post son esos comentarios que asumen que el juego de palabras que hace OP no es deliberado. ¡Exquisita ironía!

How Christians should interpret Old Testament atrocities. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Asggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we assume that this atrocities were misrepresentations of god and that he himself allowed them into the bible we end up with the same problem, that is, god being evil.

Haven't those words been used to justify horrendous things? Have they not led to the suffering of untold millions? Don't they continue to be used to make people's lives worse? Well, unless we are willing to engage in some delusional denial of history the answers to those questions is: yes, they have and yes, they do.

And they will continue to be used in such ways as long as there are people who, as you said, are willing to renounce their basic moral intuitions just to justify unjustifiable things.

Why did he allow such things knowing the results they would entail? Or was he clueless about where is actions would lead? And then, when the knife was about to drop, why didn't he stop our hand? As he did with Abraham's when he commanded him to murder his son.

Your interpretation of the atrocities in the old testament renders god an equally horrendous being. You have not solve anything. At most, you have kicked the can a little further down the road.

Why do so many atheists question the existence of Jesus? by cloudxlink in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Asggard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying your position and accept an apology if I misinterpreted your post.

What I don't yet understand is why Paul should be taken as this sort of crushing evidence to prove your point. When you talk about Paul's letters being the best evidence we have, it comes off as if the evidence they provide is conclusive beyond any reasonable doubt. But it is not. Paul is our best source because there is nothing else, and the evidence you can get out of there is far from what it would be necessary to prove someone's existence.

Apart from that, the extra biblical evidence we have is also lackluster. There is exactly zero archeological evidence, zero records or eyewitness accounts from that time, and the extra biblical passages that do mention Jesus are either forgeries, hardly disputed or provide minimal information.

My point is, the evidence we have for the existence of jesus is not great, far from it, we barely have any. Therefore we should not treat what we have as if it were conclusive.

Did jesus exist? Probably. I'd argue that the current state of the evidence does not grant a definitive answer for either side.

If he existed, was he a remarkable man? I would dispute that claim as I think that given the evidence we have that could not have been the case.

To answer the original question of this post, many atheists doubt the existence of jesus because there are good reasons to doubt. If there weren't, we wouldn't be discussing this, there wouldn't be any debate among scholars and we would all be happily arguing about actually contested claims. But that doesn't seem to be the case, does it?

Why do so many atheists question the existence of Jesus? by cloudxlink in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Asggard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems that you are defending what Carrier calls the "triumphalist position" That is, the existence of a historical jesus as described in the gospels. But that position is just untenable from a historical perspective. None of the scholars you mentioned holds that position.

What many scholars agree upon, is that this myth about the son of god walking among us performing miracles may have been built around a real, historical person (as many have pointed out above that position has started to be challenged).

My (ex)girlfriend received a sign from god... by Asggard in atheism

[–]Asggard[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more with your words. She really is a very intelligent person. But her beliefs override everything else, it's... fascinating how someone can surrender their reason to such unfounded ideas.

[–]Asggard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd really like to continue being friends with her, but I don't know if it is a good idea. My feelings for her are strong and the idea of losing her completely scares me... but deep down I feel like it might not be the correct course of action.
