Socrates didn't exist, don't you know?

I recognise that is a law in the UK and in other European countries ... that you are put in jail for fucking a family member

He was made up by marble bust companies to sell more busts

Whether Socrates actually existed or not doesn't actually matter

Because we don't worship him

We just read his literature

Are you pushing the "Jesus didn't exist" thing as a counter to me when I already conceded that Jesus probably did exist?

and no kidding they had a pet like this

Socraties realised that people needed some form of belief structure.

so I dont know what to believe anymore

Oh, but when you have an ideological enemy that has a supernatural ultimatum, you just deny he ever lived.

I deny that he lived because it puts Christians under pressure to prove that he did exist

That would be foolish. Never assume the negative, work on the evidence.

Which rattles them, because they worship HIM

Not just his teachings

are you saying jesus is satan HIMself?

No

I mean shit, he might have been. Lucifer was a cool dude.

And as an angel, he _is_ the son of God.

good because that wouldn't be kosher

1 Corinthians chapter 8
**Concerning Food Sacrificed to Idols**
``1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. 3 But whoever loves God is known by God. 4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.``

I am pagan so I believe in many gods

It's not like the Bible has his entire lineage from the beginning of time or anything.

I do not get punished for believing in many gods in my country

All 6000 years?

Even if that's just the beginning of recorded history, that's a hell of a lot to disprove.

Recorded history goes beyond 6000 years.

I am all for the different forms. I just think that Christanity evolved and it was able to accept paganism

It was just way fucking harder to read

I think this is the reason why many times over they tried to tell people to give up but they are clear with it and would enforce some kind of non- islamic doctrination like they have done in Austria.

I make a comment about racial and ethnic claims leading to infighting and injustice, and he comes at me with every possible offhand reference to justice and jurisprudence, and that somehow means that injustice never existed?

I don't consider Christianity to be a threat nowadays. They've been pacified by the shutdowns and debunking, and unlike Islam weren't willing to behead everyone and start constant wars over who was right.

It's like trying to list all the legal subdivisions of homicide to disprove the existence of murder.

That's not debunking.

thats why they should release the kraken

i mean the Old old testament

or the new new testmanet

I think that Christianity needs to be more of a threat because most of you do not get that they form the laws in European countries. You are indoctrinated from birth in most countries

Christian ethic teaches that stealing is unconditionally wrong. Islam teaches that stealing from your enemy is okay, so you should make enemies. In the Old Testament, when there is a tribe that needs to be wiped out for a very particular reason, God forbids looting and punishes people who loot.

@juts kill nme What is your preference?

I think they've begun to fear their influence in the modern era, though. Being a very income-focused organization ever since the Romans started shit, they cower when any bad thing said means less income, and less followers.
