Yeah, there's no use arguing with him. He will listen to his viewpoint only.


I see that a lot in here (and everywhere else)

just do what I do and make fun of em without trying to engage their arguments


I'm all for people debating. It's when they get angry and start insulting those who don't agree with them is what I don't like. I guess some people just can't do that.

I see it as insecurity. They are really kinda weak in their position and see any disagreement as an attack

its more fun to ridicule them. especially if you can do it in such a way that it goes over their heads but every one else gets it

That’s why I backed off. I felt he was making it personal when all I was doing was bringing historically grounded and objective data to the table. When people can’t respond effectively, their next instinct very often is to behave like a cornered animal, snarling and drooling.

You did the right thing. He was making it personal, you were not.

Jesus lived in a place where traders came from all over. Scholars think it is most likely that Jesus was Arab or African.

Also, lovemeifyoucan said that Jesus is not Arab, he is Jewish. Well...there are tons of Arab Jews - Judaism is a religion, not a race. Just like there are tons of Arab Christians. (And by the way, when Arab Christians pray...what word do you think they use address God? Allah = God = Dios = Dieu = Dio = 上帝 = 천주 = 神 ...etc.)

Sorry...I'm just tired of people thinking Allah is some sort of pagan moon God. God bless our biased Western media!

It is both. That is why I just find it easier to refer to "Hebrew" indicating a specific ethnicity and "Judaic" denoting a specific religiosity. Someone can be of the Jewish faith and not ethnically classify themselves as being of Hebrew descent.

By the way there is no such thing as RACE that was term used to justify and divide cultures for the sake of so-called scientific study (origins anthropology is one)...............so lets get somethings clear............happy

This could have been construed as you implying that the Pagan Moon Goddess is insignificant and how dare those American infidels compare Allah to her.

I didn’t think you meant that though as you come across as quite intelligent so I didn't jump down your throat about it.

Peace.
