That hardly seems in line with the scientific method.
Your hypothesis is that the Bible is crap. Devise your own experiments (i.e. read it for yourself) and test your hypothesis. Of course, you might find that the Bible is NOT crap, or at least, you can't conclusively prove it is crap, and thus you might be forced to amend your hypothesis.
You all SAY that you're not against changing your minds, but that's simplistic baloney.
Similarly we don't have to read every word of the Bible when just a cursory inspection of its words, and the multitude of flies attracted to it removes any reasonable doubt it isn't just a big old mound of crap.
My hypothesis is sound :]

Suzianne, recently on the 'Who is the bigger blasphemer?' thread:
[b]"Dogs understand having an unconditional love, and therefore, in some respects I can see dogs having a better understanding of God than some people do."
Is this a perspective that Christians here are inclined to agree with?[/b]
It is not even a religion.............but it is called Sanatan Dharma.
Mundane religion lends itself to belief systems and TRUE RELIGION has nothing to do with belief systems, but instead it deals with truth.
That truth is found in the Vedic literature about God.
In this Spiritual Vedic literature you shall find eternal knowledge of God and Gods abode and Gods pastimes and Gods qualities and Gods appearance and Gods attributes and Gods relationships and Gods power.etc
There is nowhere on earth apart from the Vedas where you will find knowledge of God.
The Best place to start is the "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" by Srila Prubhupada and the 18 volume "Srimad Bhagavatam" and then the 3 volume Krsna Book.
Prubhupada has written and translated many more books which you will discover when you look inside the back cover of any Krsna Book.
Remember..............You cannot find any truthful knowledge of God apart from the Vedic Literatures...................and only those literatures translated by His Divine Grace Srila Prubhupada. (this is fact)

Ok so now lets get down to business fat man. From what I suspect you are attempting to call into question my existentialist leanings that we are free moral agents and responsible for our own actions and can choose to act in a specific way regardless of genetic predisposition. This of course is self evident because we know that predisposition is not the same as a causation. I have of course pointed out on no less than three occasions that your attempt to undermine this reality by utilising an anomaly (in this case mental health) is not only disingenuous but flawed. One may have no jurisdiction over an illness nor its effects and thus this is clearly not the same when one does have recourse to the natural faculty of conscience and can exercise ones will. Please do not attempt to introduce logical fallacies like this in the future. Its been done and dusted. Now goooooo awaaaaay fat man!

Originally posted by OdBodwhy don't we become meter readers for domestic supply companies? the thing is OdBod we are only interested in people that are interested if you understand my meaning. We spend a vast majority of our time simply searching for people that are interested. Access is not really desired unless people are interested. Its a waste of our time and theirs otherwise. We are not sales people. I never try to persuade anyone. Either you are interested or you are not. If so then fine, if not well thanks for your time and have a nice day.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieDo you think calling another poster a "slap head" and also "fat man" at least three times in this thread alone is adding to your "positive" or "negative" experiences with posters here at RHP? In fact would you say that using these personal adjectives constitutes "personal abuse" which you seem to decry so much during what you presumably consider to be your "negative experiences"?
