    I have nothing against Christians. I upvoted the free bibles deal. But this?? No.
    How is it any more a bargain than free air?
    Was anybody paying for it?

    But happy Easter all! I'm glad your God rose from the dead, even if I'm not sure an immortal being can actually die in the first place.

    Also free streaming: Monty Python's Life of Brian.

        The bible authors were expecting his imminent return. Here the courts can rule a person "presumed dead" if they have not been heard form in seven years. It has been nearly 2000 years in Jesus case, so let it go. He is dead and ain't returning. Be satisfied with the wisdom and ideals that he left behind. Few people have had so much influence on the world. Is that not enough for you?

            @inherentchoice:

            You have expressed doubt that your own immortal being can actually die

            Ah, I see the problem. You're working from the assumption that we each (or maybe only a few) have an immortal being. I'm going to have to see something to back that up.

                      @banana365: And because there is doubt, then all the more reason to investigate what may become of your immortal soul, correct? Could ANYTHING be more important to investigate than doubt about the reality of eternity for your own spirit/soul?

                      Or are you ignoring that issue?

                      Or are you saying that you have absolutely no doubt that you do not have an immortal soul? That would be a different position we could certainly discuss, but was not what my reply is about here.

                        No, because there is no immortal soul. No immortal anything. The only people that think there is are those that have been brought up to think there is and not to question their teachings by anything more than mild semantic discussion. Stop pretending I'm questioning what happens to "your immortal soul", it's clear from my first comment that there isn't one. FFS man, do keep up.

                          @banana365: Right, so that's a separate issue which is off-topic from my reply to a comment expressing doubt.

                          But I would suggest that you are still in the same boat by ignoring the issue of no immortal soul, unless you did have some other good evidence or reason to do so.

            @inherentchoice: There is no contemporary evidence that Jesus execution took place on the Passover. It may well be that this date was applied to the story much later for symbolic purposes, before they were written down.
            Note how the biblical stories of Jesus birth (2 inconsistent ones - Nazareth and Bethlehem) are not consistent with a birth on the winter solstice. Oral tales get embellished over time.

              @bargaino: Thank you for your reply.

              I think you are proving my point. So I think your evidence that his crucifixion was not on Passover was because his birth was not on the winter solstice? Is that your best evidence?

              Meanwhile let's just ignore the question about immortality for you/us living today.

              • +1

                @inherentchoice: It might have been on the passover, or maybe not. The point is you cannot draw any evidence of prophecy from the date, when the people who told us the date wish to show he fulfilled the prophesy.

                • +2

                  @bargaino: And yet the people who would wish to show that it was not the Passover in 33 AD did not have any dispute about it, perhaps in the same way that they could not produce the body… while you in 2025 AD are relying on something about his birth rather than his death. And I would say there is no dispute here about his birth.

                  • @inherentchoice: I think the biggest mystery here is why Abraham was blessed with a child when he slept/married his sister? Like it was approved by the lord himself?

                        @inherentchoice: Yeah that's my problem though, where in the bible does it mention anything about defects? Yes it mentions they're perfect but in what way? Didn't the bible also say not to add anything or subtract from the teachings? Interpretation in itself goes against this. It's just mental gymnastics.

                        Then you have jesus cursing a fig tree because it didn't bear fruit - when it wasn't the season for it to bear fruit and he was mad hungry looking for a quick bite. So gods plant was defective? Didn't realise it was our saviour that needed a snack and couldn't magically bear fruit outside of season?

                        Entertaining that book really, then you get to the adults only old testament that was shun.

                        People pick and choose as they see fit

            • @bargaino:

              There is no contemporary evidence that Jesus execution took place on the Passover.

              There is no evidence outside that bible that verifies Jesus even existed.

              But religious people love a good story. He died and came back. How's that for a good reason to believe bizarre supernatural claims.

              Who needs evidence when you've got a good story? And it's written in an ancient book so it must be true.

              And he did magic too! So he must be the creator of the universe. And it's described in an ancient book written by sexist, racist, slavery-endorsing shepherds who thought the earth was flat and didn't have an ounce of scientific knowledge about the universe, so it must be true.

                I love Richard Dawkins' description of the Old Testament biblical god:

                The god of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

                It's mentioned in one of the best arguments/interviews I've seen with an atheist vs religion very entertaining, originated on Al Jazeera.

            @inherentchoice: Look I'm a Catholic but you really aren't painting a good picture of Christians here. @bargaino has actually showed respect and restraint which was beautiful to see rather than the slandering that goes on here thanks @bargaino. You are arguing against him that relies on our belief rather than evidence.

            • -3

              @maverickjohn: @bargaino expressed doubt that an immortal being can actually die. I pointed out that is why people need to at least investigate what is on the other side of death for our own immortal being. Because actually that is the whole basis of why Jesus himself came as "Immanuel", God with us, coming as a baby and as as man who humbled himself unto death. Do you think it's showing a lot of respect here that 26 users gave a negative vote to my comment, but it seems none have given the courtesy of a reply, or apparently at least no reply with even ONE good reason or example of evidence to show if I am wrong?

              Maybe that's actually proving my point by demonstrating that people deliberately ignore and suppress this issue with absolutely ZERO good reason or evidence?

              If I or even any one single part of the entire Bible is so wrong, then it should be easy to prove, right?

              • @inherentchoice: I also negative votes you because your response was an argument that was destined to go nowhere.even you have to acknowledge that there are things that are embedded as a belief system. I certainly don't acknowledge everything as hard evidence. Particularly what's on the other side of death.
                Just take the blessings that people from other religious views are showing signs of respect. There is nothing wrong with doubt. There's doubts even within the Christian cohort about teachings.. I don't believe every word of the Bible nor do I of the all the teachings that get told..
                But I try my best to live by the good values in hope that if there is an afterlife you end up on the good side.

                Probably won't make it there. But I'll try.

                  @maverickjohn: Thanks. Doubt is healthy and hence is why we really need to at least investigate and discuss these issues.

                  Perhaps you think the issue of whether we each have an immortal soul is an argument that will go nowhere, but I would at least ask if there could there be anything else more important for each person to consider than the eternity or immorality of their own being?

                When your brain dies you will never exist again. All your emotions, all your feelings, all your thoughts are simply electrochemical activity in your brain. This has been proven by scientific experiments. You cannot think or feel without a brain. In addition, all your memories are stored physically in your brain. Without memories, feelings and thoughts, you do not exist.

                • @ForkSnorter: Thank you. +1 to your reply as it does present a good reason.

                  But what about all the medical and scientific papers which investigate people's near-death or out-of-body experiences? So how have countless people around the world had seemingly-impossible knowledge of what surgeons said, or even what their family in other rooms did, while they were completely sedated or had no pulse?

                  Also, are you and all humans merely a computer or robot with only a mere perception of the power of our choice or free will? Has any computer or AI come even remotely close to having the power of free will?

                  What about projects like SETI, so have they found any evidence of intelligent creatures outside of this planet?

                  Anyway… surely there needs to be at least some healthy doubt that each one of us is not merely a bag of chemicals and brainwaves?

                    @inherentchoice:

                    Near death is not death.

                    out-of-body experiences

                    Keep telling yourself that. You know it's nonsense.

                    So are you and all humans merely a computer or robot with only a mere perception of the power of our choice or free will?

                    Yes, all the scientific evidence to date supports this. Scientific experiments have been conducted where scientists can predict which button a human subject will press several seconds before the subject is aware that they have made a decision which button to press.

                    In addition, you are correct, an organism that is pre-programmed by DNA is similar to a robot.
                    We are kind of organic computers/robots with consciousness and the illusion of free will.

                    Has any computer or AI come even remotely close to having the power of free will?

                    We do not have free will. You are a jumble of pre-programmed brain circuits, physicochemical algorithms, chemical hormones, inbuilt instincts, unchangeable desires and fears, all of which are produced by your DNA, in addition to nurtured social programming.
                    All of the above determine what choices you make.

                    What about projects like SETI, so have they found any evidence of intelligent creatures outside of this planet?

                    Nope, and this is irrelevant.

                    Anyway… surely there needs to be at least some healthy doubt that each one of us is not merely a bag of chemicals and brainwaves?

                    How about some healthy doubt about your conviction that you will survive the death of your brain and go exist somewhere that is not supported by a shred of evidence?

                    The notion that we do not survive death proceeds logically from all our knowledge of life.

                      Thanks again for your reply.

                      You simply said that out-of-body is nonsense. But there is genuinely overwhelming numbers of individuals who report such experiencs, and this has been the subject of published academic articles.

                      That is evidence, along with the stunning accuracy and message of the Biblical account, whereby the 66 books from 40 different authors (including hardened fisherman and tax collectors) authenticate themself as one integrated and extra-terrestrial message from outside of our time domain.

                      So it seems you offer no logic or evidence to refute this?

                      Therefore I admire your faith to so confidently assert that humans have no free will and are only chemicals, such that you would have no doubt that people should simply ignore rather than at least investigate the man whose teaching on this subject we are reminded of every single time we read and write the date.

                      You also dismiss SETI as irrelevant but the whole premise is that if our electrochemical intelligence evolved by chance randomness here then it must have also happened elsewhere. So that is relevant that there is a distinct lack of ET life that they could find, meanwhile you and others deliberately ignore and dismiss the case for Christ and the Bible being of genuine ET origin.

                      • @inherentchoice: If I go look through 100 scientific text books (physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, biology, physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, etc.), what proportion of that information about our world do you think originated in the bible, and what proportion is the result of scientific investigations based on the principles of empirical science (e.g. scientific skepticism, falsifiability, reproducibility, empirical evidence) conducted during the past 400 years?

                          @ForkSnorter: Well arguably the scientific method itself is born out of the church and the Judeo-Christian worldview that truth exists and is worth investigating, rather than some Eastern cultures which promote everyone deciding their own truth.

                            What you mean to say is that the scientific revolution kicked off in Europe back in the 16th century when everyone was religious.

                            Do you have some empirical evidence that man evolved from Apes, other than the fabricated plastic and bronze skeletons?

                            Where did this come from?

                            If you don't think all life on Earth evolved from a common ancestor, you either don't read books, didn't pay attention in school, or you like to "decide your own truth."

                            Humans didn’t “evolve from apes.” We are apes. We share a common ancestor with other apes, including chimpanzees—our closest living genetic relatives.

                            Just like you and I share a common ancestor. If we trace our family trees back a few hundred, or at most a few thousand years, we’d likely find a shared ancestor.

                            Keep going back millions of years, and you’ll reach a common ancestor of both humans and chimpanzees.

                            If we look back through the fossil record in reverse chronological order, we find: first, no hominin fossils identical to modern humans; then, no hominin fossils at all. Further back, no ape fossils matching living species, then no mammals, then no land-dwelling vertebrates—and much, much earlier, only bacteria.

                            Genetic data tells the same story. The fact that genetics and the fossil record independently align is one of the bedrock confirmations of evolutionary biology.

                            • @ForkSnorter: Thanks for that. Appears you have avoided providing any clear example of something empirical though. And I guess you accept the bronze and plastic?

                                @inherentchoice: Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs based on what might be pleasing to imagine, rather than on evidence, rationality, or reality. It is a product of resolving conflicts between belief and desire.

                                Motivated reasoning is a cognitive and social response in which individuals, consciously or sub-consciously, allow emotion-loaded motivational biases to affect how new information is perceived. Individuals tend to favor evidence that coincides with their current beliefs and reject new information that contradicts them, despite contrary evidence.

                                Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs.

                                You are exhibiting these tendencies when you choose to deny scientific facts without knowing anything about them.

                                Here is a list of some of the important fossils that inform our understanding of human evolution.

                                Here is a summary of evidence from all the different scientific disciplines supporting evolution. Notably, all the evidence from each discipline is consistent with the other disciplines, which means they independently corroborate each other.

                                Here is the evidence for your worldview:
                                1. An internally inconsistent book written by sexist, racist, slavery-condoning sheep-herders who thought the Earth was flat
                                2. Wishful thinking

                                  @Donmega123: Well you will be pleased to know that there are many complete dinosaur skeletons, and they are not the mostly-plastic or bronze idols like Lucy is in the Smithsonian. T Rex bones have also been found in Alaska complete with red blood cells.

                                  The Chinese zodiac does feature 11 real animals that are alive today, plus the dragon. Their historical records say that the Emperor did have a pet dragon, so assuming that was a dinosaur then perhaps they could be tamed at least somewhat? But the Chinese certainly didn't manage to conserve them in a zoo or maintain them in captivity until today. Komodo Dragons are at least conserved on one island though.

                                  The Bible itself suggests that only God himself could come near to the largest dinosaur with a sword, as per Job 40:19 which I have quoted below 👇. But there were of course smaller dinosaurs and the largest of any dinosaur eggs found is only the size of a Sherrin. Juveniles were probably what boarded the Ark with Noah.

                                  He moves his tail like a cedar… His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword.

                        It is in no way evidence of the truth of the Bible (which, by the way, does not have a message of "stunning accuracy", because it was collaborative fiction written decades/centuries after the events it purported to report on)

                          @Crow K: Thanks. As you at least admit the experiences though, so that is still grounds for why people should at least consider their own immortal being. A lot of the evidence though is more about people's observations of the happenings in the hospital around them rather than any encounters with spiritual figures.

                          I note your assertion about the bible is offered without evidence or reason.

                          Meanwhile it seems the best evidence offered so far in support of the negs on my comment is that "science" has examined dead brains and flesh and found them to be dead. I guess we have no disagreement over on that but it is surely irrelevant.

                          • @inherentchoice: "Admitting the experience" is the same as admitting dreams happen, though? The fact that apparently spiritual phenomenon matches what the brain was expecting to see is a mark against the reality of the process, not for it.

                            My Bible assertion plainly states the fact the Bible was written after the events? If I wrote a book now telling everyone what happened in the 1929 Great Depression, would you be impressed with my "stunning accuracy" ?

                            If you want to posit that there "must" be souls and more than this, that's all fine, but it remains purely an evidence-less belief. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and it's up to you to find some proof for this. You don't challenge scientists to prove things you choose to imagine actually don't exist; the burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

                            • @Crow K:

                              Sorry I must have missed that.

                              Are you aware the Septuagint was written 700 years before Christ? Jews today are still looking for their Messiah as promised in that text.

                              I am saying there is at least doubt and it's therefore worth investigating, perhaps more than anything else that people may investigate in their lifetime. Each can consider for themselves if their own free will is merely an electrochemical illusion. But maybe some scientists already investigated some dead brain flesh and decided there isn't? In the same breath you demand evidence you also dismiss the Biblical account, apparently with zero evidence…

                              • @inherentchoice: Things that are asserted without evidence (e.g. the literal truth of the Bible) can equally be dismissed without evidence.

                                I linked above our last run in where you were telling me Lots Wife actually turned to salt and linked to some bizarre YouTube "proof" of a guy pointing at some tiny rocks and going "look you can see all the bits from when God smashed this place".

                                We've already danced this dance before. The Bible isn't literally true. There is not credible evidence that it is. No, I will not watch more bizarre YouTube videos of guys crouching next to rocks as "proof" of the Bible.

                            • @Crow K: There's plenty of prophecy too, Augustus standardised it way back when. The Catholic church holds back all sorts of prophecy. They also have a time machine viewer device.

      A few corrections. Jesus is the son of God; it's the soul that is immortal (not the physical being); his resurrection is not related to his immortality.

    • Thanks for your comments, there are plenty of books that can explain why “an immortal being can actually die in the first place” if you are not sure and you really want to understand why.

    • same reason why watching rugby live is way better than watching it on TV i stil don't understand why people watch rugby on TV they miss so much when your at the game live.

      • This broadcast has been delayed by about 2000 years.

    • It should be quite easy to imagine\accept the idea that the omnipotent universal creator could make a living being, allow it to die and then bring it back to life, surely?
      With quantum physics, the possibility of creating and destroying matter or even entire galaxies for a mere moment, so the challenge to create a single life form even trillions of them and have them perish and be reborn within moments is somewhat trivial.
      What then do you doubt the power of the almighty

      Behold, the shocking revelation revealed unto us! Our Lord Jesus's body was discovered not as scripture proclaimed, but adorned with Nike sneakers upon His holy feet! These otherworldly footwear connect Him to the pyramid builders of Mars, who first gifted such divine craftsmanship! The powers conceal this truth, yet the evidence remains—Christ walked among us in celestial shoes, marking His path across worlds!
