@Death Strike's Bat the concept of god as a "man" or the whole universe itself?

the concept of a prexisting universal ideas

@fallot is not speaking about universalism

fallot has different ideas about deities than their religions do

Universalism is within-particular-religion

also Jesus has way more evidence for existing than Muhammad

Universalism is within everything

it's not in any particular religion

certain religions aren't run by inbred jawas that chop your head off for questioning their mumbling book

My "universalism" isn't particularly different from Perennialism

but I wasn't going there anyway

What matters @Death Strike's Bat ?

that post-dates who they claimed to write it and I doubt he would've approved it in that form.

What is important

anything? nothing?

the gospels are the most copied books of antiquitiy and late antiquity

For most of the history of Christianity in the West I am sure you would be slain for denigrating the Bible publicly

isn't that true?

no

The Church just makes you say the church is right in manners of doctrine.

just ordinary people would lynch you I mean

Orindary people couldn't fucking read

doesn't matter

and even if they could, they often had different ideas of god than the churches

plural intended

seems pretty irrelevant to what I said

whether they did or didn't, they wouldn't take kindly to someone dissing the bible

would they just let that go?

Did I diss the bible as a text?

The bible is a much better example of it's time period in late antiquitiy and the dark ages

than the koran is

there are exponentially more manuscripts

Good afternoon, gentlemen

hi @MRB

@Death Strike's Bat you made a reference about inbred jawas having an unkind reaction to someone questioning their religious text, in this case the Quran

yes

I responded that this was the case for most of the history of Christianity in the west

essentially

no

present a disagreement then

the bible is not the word of god
