What is the most important human capacity?

That is the crux of the matter. For the sake of the argument let's pretend that "thus sayeth the LORD" is really real, that God has spoken.

If so, as this debate was about that at the start, (page 7-8) who in their right mind is going to tell God what He means by what He says?

The Bible, if the above is true, is not open to personal interpretation.

From where you get the ideology you propagate is not especially important to me. I'm just interested in the claims you make about things. Whether you have internalized tenets of Hinduism or Islam or Judaism or Christianity, it is all much of a muchness to me. Message board. Topics. You post your ideas. There is or there isn't discussion. There is no god or gods posting their ideas here.

Dang those cat videos, or maybe even the surfing dogs. I could watch that all day.

I am not talking about "God"; I am an atheist. I am talking about the various notions that different groups of people have of their personal god figures and the mundane ideologies attendant thereto.

When did this happen?

It wasn't that long ago that you were adamant that you were NOT an atheist. Now you are?

Pretty sure he means God’s ideas as revealed in the Bible.

How many interpretations are there now? Look, he didn't express an understanding, he expressed fact.. I called bull.

You must have missed it when I explained it 2-3 times last year. One of those occasions was in a conversation involving you and Ghost of a Duke.

It gets complicated. I'm aware of the damage that religion does. I'm aware of the good it does also. You're aware that logic reason facts science knowledge understanding

do not support faith, right? Faith is in a box and it should stay there. Just own it. Which means be quiet when people talk about logic reason facts science knowledge understanding.
