how so

2018-04-27 20:40:42 UTC  

How do you answer that question?

2018-04-27 20:41:04 UTC  

are you saying that yahweh is a literal real entity that exists

2018-04-27 20:41:12 UTC  

to clarify

2018-04-27 20:41:54 UTC  

I prefer "God" and my answer was probably.

2018-04-27 20:42:18 UTC  

do you have any evidence to prove the existence of this god you speak of

2018-04-27 20:42:59 UTC  

Not the sort you may be used to

2018-04-27 20:43:08 UTC  

what do you mean

2018-04-27 20:43:51 UTC  

can you tell me about this

2018-04-27 20:43:55 UTC  
2018-04-27 20:44:59 UTC  

What evidence would you normally expect in this sort of conversation?

2018-04-27 20:47:06 UTC  

probably

2018-04-27 20:47:12 UTC  

"god exists necessarily"

2018-04-27 20:47:19 UTC  

something like that

2018-04-27 20:47:47 UTC  

"god exists bcus the book inspired by god says so"

2018-04-27 20:47:51 UTC  

How would that be evidence?😂

2018-04-27 20:48:20 UTC  

it isnt

2018-04-27 20:49:17 UTC  

Ok... Then what sort of **valid** argument would you expect?

2018-04-27 20:50:02 UTC  

There is actually no valid argument i have heard for christianity

2018-04-27 20:50:20 UTC  

so when you said something different from what i would be used to i was interested

2018-04-27 20:50:31 UTC  

😂

2018-04-27 20:51:16 UTC  

Think of it this way... Why would you believe in a god (if you did)?

2018-04-27 20:52:18 UTC  

because you are told your whole life that sky man is true and will have you stoned if you are a homosexual or if you work on the weekends

2018-04-27 20:53:24 UTC  

The last 2 have nothing to do with Christianity... And I very much doubt that is why **you** would ever believe in a god.

2018-04-27 20:53:50 UTC  

hm

2018-04-27 20:54:00 UTC  

Doesn't answer the question

2018-04-27 20:54:01 UTC  

@An Elbow in the bible it says those things fyi

2018-04-27 20:54:08 UTC  

So?

2018-04-27 20:54:32 UTC  

I don't know why I would ever believe in a god

2018-04-27 20:55:33 UTC  

Have you heard of the words "history" and "context"?
They are EXTREMELY important for religion.

2018-04-27 20:55:51 UTC  

Explain please

2018-04-27 20:59:06 UTC  

Not working on the Sabbath is a Jewish custom. Not Christian. It's in the Bible for historical reference.
Homosexuality is a sin according to Christianity but we do not stone people. Again, that is for history's sake.

2018-04-27 20:59:57 UTC  

mk

2018-04-27 21:00:20 UTC  

would you say it is morally wrong to stone people

2018-04-27 21:00:58 UTC  

Depends...
I assume you mean in the context of punishment for sins?

2018-04-27 21:01:45 UTC  

in any situation is it good to throw rocks at someone until they are dead

2018-04-27 21:02:04 UTC  

Yes

2018-04-27 21:02:17 UTC  

That's why I said it depends

2018-04-27 21:02:39 UTC  

Since you weren't specific, I have to say yes

2018-04-27 21:02:43 UTC  

so i have another question

2018-04-27 21:02:55 UTC  

But if you said as punishment I'd say no
