Are you saying Christians ARE obsessed with smearing the devil?

No. But on the plus side I did not have satan kill Job's kids.

Those are two different statements. I do not doubt for a minute that nothing I write would incite you to riot. But it does not necessarily follow that what other people wrote could incite others to riot. You make the same mistake in your response to Whateverman. The fact that it did not incite...

Yeah, maybe that was a poor choice of words. How about they felt the bad publicity that would ensure a court case accusing them of inciting a riot would be bad for business. The end result is the same.

Both are extremely well supported by evidence, both are accepted as part of mainstream science by people of numerous faiths and no faith. The fact that a small minority of people reject one or the other for religious reasons does not change that one jot.

Is your hang nail argument really the best Christianity can offer? You cite CS Lewis. Did he use the hang nail argument? Or did he have something better to offer? Or something even worse?

The population of Germany was 94% Christian at that time, so I guess that is why.

Sure. Like the the world being round is "parroted by a lot of college students". They "parrot" it because it is true.

But it is likely that 30 day period is not applicable if the site is used to break the law. If, say, there was child pornography on a site they hosted, I am sure Amazon would shut it down immediately. So if it is inciting a riot, I would guess the same applies, and Amazon had the right (and...

It is the Bible that says Satan was working under God's authority. Not atheists, I am just telling you what the Bible says. Not Job's relatives; the Bible tells us nothing of their take on it. Job 42:11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all who had known him before came to him, and...

It is impressive what they have done, but... Is that right? There are documents over 2000 years old in the dead sea scrolls; surely they would be earlier evidence?

Says who? Surely this is entirely up to Amazon? Is it possible Amazon felt 30 hours notice was safer, in view of the risk of the platform being used to incite a riot? Maybe they felt this was the more socially responsible action.

And my point was that the opposing view to evolution, creationism, is pseudo-science. Students are not taught creationism because it is nonsense. It is not science, so has no place is science education - just the same as astrology and homeopathy.

Astrology opposes mainstream physics. Homeopathy opposes mainstream biology. My opinion is that that astrology should not be taught as a opposing theory to physics, homeopathy should not be taught as an opposing theory to biology, creationism should not be taught as an opposing theory to...

I was referring to creationism. When you said "Most colleges are not teaching opposing theories" I assumed that was a reference to the conflict between evolution and creationism. Was I wrong?

The rock exists; it is real. It does not matter what the rock knows about it. That is just the way reality is. it is all the stuff that is real. No. That is a possibility. It is also possible for you, of course. You just said I am being deceived about reality. Apparently you think YOU have...

Yeah, it is awful that the physics department does not teach astrology, and the biology department does not teach homeopathy! No, but seriously, the reason these things are not taught is that they are what we call pseudo-science. That is to say, something dressed up to appear to be science, but...

No, it is just a rock. You are confusing reality with knowing about reality. The rock is reality, but does not know about reality. Ultimately I do not; I might be dreaming all this. Hence, I said "may or may not be true and accurate". So what is your point? It is the same for you and everyone...

The rock itself is reality. The rock in your head is your model of reality, which may or may not be true and accurate.

You said they ALL fought on both sides. Pretty sure the royals of Germany, Austria and Japan only fought against Britain. Also, they got chucked out of the order for doing so.
