All right, I'm being a jerk now. Help talk me down. |
|
I've spent way too much time in GD over the last 36 hours. I've posted more in 2 days then I have the entire rest of the year so far. I passed 10,000 posts and didn't even notice.
My beautiful wife is in the next room and even SHE can't calm me down. HELP!!!

Actually, I listened to the audio book.
If you want to see a completely different perspective on the authorship of the Bible, read a book called Misquoting Jesus. It proves that we can't possibly trust that a single thing that the Bible says comes directly from the mouth of "God".

I used to call myself an agnostic, too, only because I was scared of death. I'm still scared of death, but I've been reading a lot of science books and listening to skeptics podcasts, and I've finally decided that if the evidence isn't there, then the evidence isn't there, no matter how afraid I am.
I think I'm getting too heavy for my own thread. :D

12. I like snarking, but I also want people to like me. |
|
How pathological is that?

9. If he helps the Giants this year, I'll believe in him. |

If the Giants win the Super Bowl AND Tom Coughlin gets fired, I'll become a monk.
Yes, SB, I know you don't know what I'm talking about. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it. :hide:

14. At least you HAVE a wife. You'll probably lose her if you can't get calmed down. |
|
:shrug:
(I'm also presuming you wish to keep your relationship intact...)

23. Eh, people will believe what they want to believe. |
|
All you can do is put out the facts as you know them. You can't control whether someone else is going to accept it, or learn something, or at least be curious enough to investigate further. So, no sense getting too worked up over it.
Keep in mind, though, that in any such thread there are readers and lurkers who never post, and possibly they learn something along the way.

24. Oh, it's not just that thread. |

I've been involved in one of the other major controversial topics in GD today, and I'm a little burned out. :D
