My independent non-denominational background leaves me ignorant of both Reformation Day and indulgences. I’ve heard of “indulgences” but couldn’t really explain what that is. I have no idea what Reformation Day is and never heard of it until you mentioned it recently.

A little more than three months later and I just got another tire repaired. So annoying.

This topic has been kind of nice because it is one that I don't really care about and it's allowed me to take a break from this thread.

Yeah, I think that makes sense. As I think about it, it seems bolzano's argument comes down to "the more detailed and specific your claims, the stronger the statement is that's being made." And, he's arguing, "God doesn't exist" becomes a pretty detailed and specific claim when applied to the...

I will admit that I have not been following this entire line of discussion. However, what I am commenting on doesn’t have to do with a responsibility to defending a position (burden of proof) as much as it has to do with making a particular claim or holding a particular belief. The argument is...

Good question. But I do think that is what most debates about God’s existence are like. Probably why I have grown to dislike the debate of God‘s existence.

His argument seems to center around the ambiguity of what “God” is. “God” is the English word we use to describe something that’s pretty mysterious. Saying “God exists” or “God doesn’t exist” is like literally saying “X exists” or “X doesn’t exist” where X is something we don’t how to really...

Yes. I just wasn't sure if you were saying certain parts didn't exist at the time of Jesus or if it just wasn't all put together into one "thing" yet. I assumed the latter. No idea what Paddington pictures when he says Jesus believed the "OT", but I think his main point is usually just to say...

I wonder how many people this historical method can confirm existed so far back in history. And, I wonder if this method would conclude in 3000 years whether or not I existed in 2025.

I’m not sure what you mean by this.

No chance they pitch to him in the ninth, right?

Well, at least I have the Wizards :bag:

But it’s the only thing you can do at this point.

Punting down multiple scores in the 4th and then not using timeouts as the clock ticks away. I mean, it won’t matter, but it would still be nice to see decisions that are based on trying to win.
