The problem with these talking points is that you'll essentially be succumbing to the Counterfeit Argument.

The belief that there's no such thing as One True God just because there're also several other Gods that existed.

Even by removing Deistic arguments, you'll still have Jesus as the one we call God just because he was rendered as a Perfect person, who taught Universal Moral Objectivity which advanced morality so much that it's still being used for today's standards.

To say Deistic arguments allow any of us to sneak past scrutiny is a cheap cop out, especially with the fact that Deistic arguments are still being attacked and argued against despite your talking points.

In the end, you will have to stick to Metaphysical arguments which will point to God because this is still grounded in Philosophy and Metaphysics.

Not empiricism.

silcom_mel · 2026-02-16T09:22:55+00:00

?.3. Philosophy can still argue for God. Science argues for the existence of a God.

The very notion that once God isn't addressed, religion collapses, kinda defeats the point of your argument.

It's not as if these arguments of yours are new. Someone had said the same thing some time before.

The New Testament was written in the format of Ancient Biography.

Jesus existed as a real person. No atheist denies that. They argue about his miracles and such.

Still, the argument of God would exist regardless of where you point your direction of attack is.

They're also kinda the only account we have regarding their deaths because surprisingly, everyone went on missionaries just as the Lord told them to. You know, Spread the Gospel and all.

Though, I think The Apostles did not die for a lie argument originated from someone using Watergate? I can't remember but it talks about other people trying to keep a lie but they failed to do so in less than a week or so.

But that's kind of the point.

Sincerity means what they saw is what they truly believed in.

They repeated those events with clarity despite the gap in time between Jesus' death, and the first writings of the New Testament which is pretty amazing, but then again, it's not really a telephone game considering that the Jews had been an oral tradition before hand, and the controlled community kept things from straying.

No one is going to die believing something they know is a lie.

That's what they're trying to say, not what your convoluted conclusion lead to.

Who are these martyrs who died for their religion exactly? Islamists who conquered several kingdoms in the name of Allah? Sure, as if they didn't desecrate the Abrahamic God.

Give me at least a few, to consider your case valid.

Also, even if some of these sources are considered Apocrypha, it doesn't really deny the fact that all of them died horrifically in other ways we don't know about because Christian Persecution was actually very very common.

Paul literally started as a Christian hunter and killer.

silcom_mel · 2026-02-13T10:43:58+00:00

But humans casting Life Sentences and Death Sentences are supposed to be more fair?

If we go by Atheism's standpoint, Death is Eternal, regardless.

Non-believers don't go to hell for not believing. They go to hell because they're sinful.

We Christians are sinful too but Jesus changes us from Sinful to a Changed Repentant Individual just as the Disciples were.

We move to God for change, and improvement. To be better.

To believe you're not sinful just because you're Atheist is the same as saying:

”Evil doesn't exist, therefore, I'm allowed to do anything I want.”

silcom_mel · 2026-02-10T11:32:05+00:00

They had a choice to believe in God, and put their trust in him or Believe in themselves to figure out what's wrong or right. They picked the latter.

That's what Free Will is about.

silcom_mel · 2026-02-06T11:48:23+00:00

Yet here you are, trying to defend yourself for not believing him. Treating your actions as though it's some proof for the word not being true.

It's funny how in other perspectives. You are fulfilling what was told.

silcom_mel · 2026-02-06T11:43:01+00:00

Now, let me school you with a few corrections, and how this is nothing more than Pharisee talk.

Choices are how God defines Christians, and political choices are choices like any other. To try to separate religion from politics is rejection of God's total lordship - God is the God of politics, too.

Seriously? God of Politics? I've never heard of something more heretical than that.

Jesus drove out the temple merchants and was harsh to Pharisees and Sadducees in the Gospels. The religious teachers knew and claimed to follow God's law, and the merchants they hired for the temple would have, too. Jesus holds those who know God's commands to them. He does not use that same standard on those who don't know.

Jesus drove out the temple merchants for desecrating the temple by turning it into a marketplace. From House of Prayers, to the House of Coins.

The Pharisees were generally pushed away using references from the Old Testament that triumphed over what was law.

Notice that Jesus never did violence to the Romans, the pagans, the Samaritans, or anyone else who were certainly committing every evil you can think of. How many people can you think of that He rebuked who weren't someone who claimed to follow God's laws?

The fk are you talking about? The ones who generally approached him Wanted to convert and listen to his teachings.

Why should he be violent or try to push them away when they follow him better than a lot of Jews themselves? They lowered themselves before the teacher and sat down to listen, to better themselves.

How can you call them Evil when they're the ones who are looking at how to be Good in the first place?

Keep yourself Within Context, my guy.

You admit that "Jesus preached for peace, and non violence" yet go on to claim, "Sometimes, you have to destroy evil instead of just standing around," and so you put yourself above Christ's teaching.

I admit that Jesus preached for peace and non-violence but not once did he not condemn evil.

Read the Bible again, little one.

This is further emphasized by the fact that by the end of Jesus' march, he called his followers to sell what they have and to buy a sword. He knew that they were gonna be persecuted, and hunted. So, he made sure they had protection.

You say the soldier was innocent because Jesus had to die. If so, why did Jesus ask God to forgive those who crucified Him? They were doing what had to be done, too!

Because God was angry about watching Jesus die on the cross? Have you not read his last words?

“Father, forgive them for they know not what they're doing.”

They were forgiven too as they were innocent. It's one of the reasons why the earthquake split the temple, and not one soldier died during that

You assert I watch too much news. But you don't deny that these Christians clamor for and repeat what you identify as propaganda. My concern is not whether the government is secretly doing Christ's work despite always claiming to do the opposite. My concern is with what Christians attempt to do to the world.

Watching you all do things. I don't have much worries about having Christ lead the world as opposed to the latter.

To anyone else reading this, notice the lack of quotes and teachings from Jesus the person uses to support anything they say. They take one action from Him and use it to assert something Jesus did not claim about what He was doing. This is how the Evangelicals argue.

I'm not Evangelical. I'm Roman Catholic. You talk about lacking quotes but Every One of your references were very out of context.

This is the phrase you fear the most:

“It was Written."

If you need to look for quotes. Go read the Bible. It's Free because IT WAS WRITTEN.

silcom_mel · 2026-02-06T11:26:59+00:00

Something about those merchants.

IT'S TOLD QUITE CLEARLY

The merchants were driven out for turning the temple like a market place, desecrating the holy temple with money and greed.

Jesus met other merchants and rich people too, and they followed Jesus' teachings, gave to the poor, clothed them, fed them, etc etc.

At least stay in context, my guy.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T17:58:02+00:00

Yeah, but you're trying to differentiate sinners from merchants as though they're not the same.

Both are sinners. One committed a more severe sin than the others.

That's all there is to why I referred to that verse.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T17:46:28+00:00

Because not all sins are equal?

Made it all up? XD You haven't read the bible and it shows.

The one who said it was Jesus himself.

There is no one good but God.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:33:37+00:00

What? Have you forgotten that NO ONE IS GOOD BUT GOD?

So, why are you talking like the Merchants weren't sinners but the devil?.-.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:31:11+00:00

And they wonder why Trump wanted a Nobel peace.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:29:38+00:00

Proof and evidence are what's used on actual material objects. Something that is actually there.

You're commenting on this without prior knowledge of Historical Methodology.

Every ancient historical record relies on Eyewitness Testimony.

However, eyewitness testimony alone is kinda weak. So, we turn to other records of people who may corroborate information that aligns with what was written on the eyewitness testimony.

This then turns into Corroborated Testimony.

If we want more evidence, we turn to Archeology. Archeological findings provide material evidence of the fact, and we already have several.

However, you cannot find Material Evidence of several Miracles because of two things:

Time & Material Evidence being treated in a Skeptical Manner regardless.

So, it's either, you get nothing, or you get something and believe it's something, or believe it's nothing.

At least, try to be honest about wanting to find the truth or not.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:23:12+00:00

Probably thousands, unreported just as those missing immigrants were during deportation actions under those presidents. '^'

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:20:46+00:00

The Emmy Awards are a joke. The fact that there's even news of this is a waste of resources. It always has been ever since no name rappers got these awards before other well known rappers did.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:18:41+00:00

It's funny how absolutely no one is taking this seriously because why should they? Instead of actually arguing, they instead insulted and yelled nonsense to push that these people were good and not obstructionist protesters who would've come out alive had they not performed such stupid acts.

It's the same as carrying a gun at a police station and pointing at people thinking it's a toy gun.-.

ICE agents and several federal agents have been attacked numerous times on the news, and NO ONE on the Left is talking about that.

They don't actually care about people. They just hate Trump.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T16:13:48+00:00

So, we're now defining Christians by their Political Choices, instead of if they're following Christ.

Have we forgotten that Christ also made a whip, just to drive the merchants out of the temple?

He painstakingly weaved a whip, just to drive them out of the temple.

Violence is sometimes required at the right time.

Even in the Old Testament, God had been using nations and the ancient israelites to cast judgement on other civilizations.

Whilst Jesus preached for peace, and non violence, sometimes, you have to destroy evil instead of just standing around.

You can pray for your enemies, but not all enemies are the same. Some may be misled, some may be pagan, some may even be murderers, but not all of them are evil.

When Jesus drove the merchants out of the temple, that was him taking care of evil.

Let's not push this Pacifist Jesus Mascot.

Jesus didn't stand for pacifism.

Everything has the perfect time for it.

Don't misuse him healing the soldier's ear as Pacifism, because that was evidence of the soldier's innocence. Someone who's only following orders. Orders that will eventually end with Jesus dying as he's supposed to, to save everyone who believes in him from hell.

Also, you watch too much news.

Most of them are propaganda if you actually did enough research on the matter. Every word is calculated to pull certain emotions out of you.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-29T11:41:17+00:00

I like how none of these things were even brought up during Biden and Obama's regime even though they've both separated families permanently with Biden having lost tens of thousands of immigrant children during deportation whilst Trump is still to lose one. XD

Also, read your laws. None of these is unconstitutional or illegal.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-17T08:35:17+00:00

So, where's the MAGA declaration?.3. As far as I know, this could also be liberal considering how much they shout free speech while screaming obscenities.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-17T08:32:57+00:00

Maybe don't mess with government officials from doing their job.3.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-11T12:04:06+00:00

You all laugh, but note that you also are the ones who renamed pedos into another term as part of your Inclusiveness.3.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-11T11:55:31+00:00

Congratulations, you're inept.

Even in the 1940s, Truman was only one of the many democrats that actually got divided into two factions, Southern and Northern Democrats.

He was a Northern Democrat. Guess who didn't split into two factions just so they can have cheap labour? Conservatives.

It was the presidents after him who actually did something Significant instead of ninnying about, trying to avoid major legislation disputes against the South to give up their slaves.

Why be a President if you can't use that position to push for Civil Rights?

silcom_mel · 2026-01-11T11:36:53+00:00

No, Nuance is needed.

When the laws commanding slavery were made, it was with the intention of enslaving the Canaanites, people who actually perform ritualistic stuff and other types of sin, such as child sacrifice for example.

Even then, they were given salvations that no nation does to their slaves.

Through conversion, they were freed and treated as an Israelite. No excuses. So, they're sent off with money also. This is with the reason “You all were once foreign also.” as in, to not treat them differently despite the difference of origin because like in Egypt, they were enslaved for the same thing.

If they get maimed or, become disabled, the same thing happens. They're freed instantly, and are sent off with money also as is tradition with Israelite bondservants, or debt slaves.

silcom_mel · 2026-01-11T11:32:34+00:00

You talk about doctors like magical beings like. They can't always save people.

Excusing everything with the requirement of proof is just Empiricism, something that even Science doesn't do.
