Catholics will replace leviticus with the goblet of fire

2018-01-22 23:53:37 UTC  

its all nonsense anyway

2018-01-22 23:53:42 UTC  

i mean

2018-01-22 23:53:46 UTC  

i shouldnt say nonsense

2018-01-22 23:53:47 UTC  

but

2018-01-22 23:54:01 UTC  

You don't believe it, it's okay to say it

2018-01-22 23:54:07 UTC  

if you're going to take some of the bible at its word, i dont see what problems some of these technicalities cause

2018-01-22 23:54:35 UTC  

well i said nonsense but i just meant not necessarily accurate recollections of events

2018-01-22 23:54:37 UTC  

I think ooze turning into fish that turn into monkeys that turn into people is actually far less believable than a powerful cosmic wizard

2018-01-22 23:55:00 UTC  

neither of those are reasonable interpretations of the very complex ideas they represent

2018-01-22 23:55:10 UTC  

i dont think the bible is nonsense

2018-01-22 23:55:21 UTC  

How did the big bang happen is my main problem

2018-01-22 23:55:34 UTC  

I disagree with, but understand evolution

2018-01-22 23:55:38 UTC  

An idea making sense to a person is predicated on it agreeing with their understanding of how the world works

2018-01-22 23:55:42 UTC  

The big bang is a fallacy

2018-01-22 23:55:51 UTC  

how is the big bang a fallacy

2018-01-22 23:55:54 UTC  

like deux ex machina?

2018-01-22 23:55:57 UTC  

We wuz chemicals in space

2018-01-22 23:56:07 UTC  

How did the chemicals,get@there?

2018-01-22 23:56:23 UTC  

In a formless universe, why would there be a chemical reaction of any kind?

2018-01-22 23:56:24 UTC  

that same tautology works with religious explanations

2018-01-22 23:56:35 UTC  

there's a god? well then who made him?

2018-01-22 23:56:44 UTC  

Mormons have an answer to that

2018-01-22 23:56:45 UTC  

Religion accepts that God is cosmic

2018-01-22 23:56:56 UTC  

how many answers, though?

2018-01-22 23:56:59 UTC  

i'm not familiar with it

2018-01-22 23:57:00 UTC  

One

2018-01-22 23:57:03 UTC  

A cosmic wizard who doesn't follow the rules of reality

2018-01-22 23:57:15 UTC  

yeah its definitely possible

2018-01-22 23:57:28 UTC  

but to come to that conclusion from the evidence presented in your lifetime

2018-01-22 23:57:29 UTC  

God was created by a prior God, and that God by a prior God in endless succession

2018-01-22 23:57:46 UTC  

thats not really an answer though is it?

2018-01-22 23:57:58 UTC  

We openly do not know where it started

2018-01-22 23:58:01 UTC  

at least not to the satisfaction of anyone who would ask the question

2018-01-22 23:58:16 UTC  

Time doesn't have to work exactly the way we understand it

2018-01-22 23:58:21 UTC  

for sure

2018-01-22 23:58:33 UTC  

Further, we believe creation involved only organization of preexisting matter with no idea at all where the matter came from

2018-01-22 23:58:53 UTC  

I accept that "god time" is beyond human comprehension

2018-01-22 23:59:09 UTC  

i dont disagree

2018-01-22 23:59:27 UTC  

what i'm asking is, how does any of this make you reach god as a solution?

2018-01-22 23:59:48 UTC  

When I read the Bible it seems true
