danot Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 You can only agree with me surely.Not really... as I don't believe the child did anything wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwhine Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I wa referring to Jesus and the Bible !!!! No you were not. Here is the post to which I replied... But you still refer to the tooth fairy and Santa by their proper names. Whether one blieves or not I do not think ridicule is necessary. You only refer to the tooth fairy and Santa. Even if you did mean jeebus and the babble, ridiculous (and unsupported) claims should expect to be ridiculed. They've had 2,000 years, give or take, and the best they've come up with is this piece of circular reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwhine Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Not really... as I don't believe the child did anything wrong. At least we agree on something, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danot Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 It does when you compare a situation where someone has no authority with a situation where someone has some authority.At what point did the teacher have "some" authority to do what is alledged?. Originally posted by redwhine i.e. they overstepped their authority as opposed to the vicar who has no authority to overstep. .............................................................................. I still don't follow. Let's compare both situations: On one hand we have a teacher overstepping their authority.. which they are not permitted to do!. We agree on that. On the other, we have a vicar acting without authority.. which they are not prmitted to do!. We also agree on that. Yet somehow, we continue to disagree that authority make the two situations different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed a vicar would probably be prosecuted if they allowed smoking in church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither can the tooth fairy nor Santa. They're all ficticious. If the claims made about jeebus were true, he would be able to answer back. (...as in 'the living christ'.) Omnipotent, but unable to sort out one measley human being. Sad, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
