Is it a coincidence that out of all the religions, the one you say is the only true one is also the one you were raised in Sir?Indeed, and that's where good ole common sense comes in. There is a world of difference related to the historicity between the vedas and the gospels . I recommend Fr John Hardon's books on comparative religion
I used to think the same. Now I see God actually became human to put an end to 'religion' and all confusion. And to free us from the bonds of sin. He gave us His mother on the cross too.Is it a coincidence that out of all the religions, the one you say is the only true one is also the one you were raised in Sir?
Who? Plunkettsghost or God?He sounds like a strange dude to me Sham.
Didn't know there was a difference (at least in Plunkett's head).Who? Plunkettsghost or God?
Yeah, he should be called "they" or "trans-inclusive non-binary Creator."One cannot blame atheists for some of their doubts. Calling God a "He" is a world away from being a universal creator, but it is significant and not to be ignored . . .

You sure you wouldn't feel more at home over on Gaychat Love?
Easy answer - Christian values are Human values, have become Godly & Devilish values to the point of mostly overriding God, bar the hopeful reassuring bit.
Thanks for the wonderful post, I had a few points in regard to a quick skimming of Hollands original vid, but you have served up a banquet of thought here to study and learn anew.Do you see

I've briefly read some of the earlier famous christian philosophers some years ago and now coupled with this new post of yours is going to take a while to understand accurately and adequately enough to engage in a satisfactory reply/conversation. Cheers
What originally came to mind when Holland was comparing Humanist V Christian values I thought "Hold on a minute" what are these christian values? - Did he say?? Because as he continued to talk all I could think of was "Which Christians"?? Meaning that I'm aware that there are thousands of different christian sects in existence and many are quite opposed to the doctrine of other Christians.
Look, I appreciate the good things he had to say but I'm also aware of the darker sides of some sects such as early Spanish Dominicans, church of jesus of latter day saints, CNK of the KKK etc and the powers they wield from their doctrines. Sorry for hitting on the low points but they are a questionable part of Christianity.
In addition there is the question of Blasphemy and all it entails especially in the context of applying the doctrine to those outside the church, and in too I guess.
Another one is how an invading countries church will enforce their spirituality, doctrine and rules on an other population, even cancelling banning prohibiting the local religions in the occupied territories.
So, I didn't even get a chance to consider much outside of just how different to itself is Christianity.
Oh and there's Christian Humanism to consider as well . . .
Please pardon the edit above. Another great, interesting and worthy presentation you treat us to, good to see and it deserves proper attention to understand in context and engage with.Difficult time to discuss . . . . . . . That's a heavily compressed couple of sentences that doesn't make a lot of sense, so forgive me for them but there's a little skirting around that question that needs to be done presently. . . . etc etc
I only recently heard about an interesting phenomenon were millions of Muslims claim that Jesus appears to them in their dreams and instructs them to speak to someone who can guide them in converting. When they follow the instructions, they appear to be legitimate to what was said in the dream.
This phenomenon doesn’t just happen with Muslims, there are people of all religions claiming the same thing

Perhaps? But I’d imagine it’s rare if it happens at all.Does he appear in the dreams of atheists as well?
