Quote from stu:
Expecting me to justify your own statement is one way to avoid the truth and the questions I asked you.
How am I expecting you to justify what statement? I just asked you a simple question: What do you say is the truth? I have already answered all your questions.
Deceit. An elaborate poetic image in the form of your own personal religion.
As a rule of thumb, we don't spin deciet. Spinner spin the truth, rendering it incomprehensible, ambiguous, contradictory...or otherwise "dead".
So, what "truth" do you say I am spinning?
You can start to recognize that reality , or construct more deceit as you would normally do , for instance, by pretending yet again you or your ideas are not subject to the same reality as everyone is.
I've said that reality is a Being. You and I are subject to that Being as much as anyone else. Time/mass is a decietful construction which would deny the real Being.
Your words not mine, and your religious posts demonstrate all three, as they do indeed, manifest themselves in the Bible.
What is a "religious post"?
The bible spins the truth. I simply point out what the truth was...before it was spun. You seem to be saying there was no truth to begin with. That's like saying that because there is a controversy (spin) about the fall of the twin towers, none of the Trade Center towers ever fell.
You might start with reality.
Reality = Christ. Most bible thumpers won't admit this. They use the bible to spin Christ into some sort of man.
I have been saying all along, it is the supposed truth according to millions of Christians . You are the one who is spinning a story about how the Bible is spinning a story.
It spins the testimony of an authentic teacher (Jesus) of truth. You seem to be saying that there was no such teacher. Which is more believable, your story or mine?
I am pointing out nothing more than Christ of the Bible is not all peace and light .
That's because Christ has been spun by those who walked in darkness.
Christ says some very nasty violent and threatening things in the Bible.
I don't believe Christ has been honestly represented by biblical scribes/collectors/thumpers.
It's there that your usual over exuberance into flowery speak took off. Spinning reality out into non-reality.
The bible spins Christ (reality) into non-reality (a man).
Spinning the Bible into being not anything Christ said, which is akin to suggesting Adventures in Sherwood Forest is about nothing Robin Hood said.
No it was you who said he (Christ, through Jesus) said everything in the book, or nothing in the book. I've said he said perhaps 5%-20%. You are proposing a fiction. I am proposing spin. Which is more believable?
Spinning, just like Christ apologists do, reasons why your personal religious absurdity is more true than theirs. You even tried spinning me into league with Christians!
To the extent that you believe in the reality of time/mass and the unreality of the true Go(o)d, you are in league with them to discredit the true Go(o)d and turn Reality (the real Being) upside down.
