Oh you're at the infantile "I'm gonna name a fallacy as an argument" stage of your development. Congrats on turning 16.

Unfortunately, what you're doing is called argumentum ad logicam.

More commonly known as the fallacy fallacy

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 1 week ago

You literally sent me a graphic I had to zoom in on alleging 439 "contradictions" in the Bible and telling me that my argument is invalid because I am refusing to answer every single one in a lemmy thread. I volunteered to answer any one you propose to me. Just not all 439, for the sake of time.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Sent "you"?

No, I posted one, and no I'm not saying that's the reason.

You're saying that the Bible being literally filled with contradictions doesn't matter, and you base that on there being too many contradictions to answer in a Lemmy comment.

If you were arguing in good faith, you could arbitrarily pick some and show why they're not actually contradictions. But you can't. You can't do it to a single one, let alone all of them.

And despite that, despite whatever, there is NOTHING that you would accept as proof of Christianity and monotheism being bad.

Literally nothing.

It doesn't matter that historically monotheism is obviously violent and crazy, it doesn't matter that the Catholic Church has been systematically raping little boys for God knows how long, NONE OF IT MATTERS TO YOU.

You're literally arguing in bad faith. Yet you pretend as if naming a fallacy makes you right. Then you get even more ashamed when I point out how nerdy and wrong it is to larp a philosopher by answering with a pretentious latin form of a fallacy. I point it out with a pretentious Latin form for the fallacy you used. Then you still refuse to actually produce any rhetoric.

Like I said, there is NOTHING that would change your mind in this. The ultimate bad faith.

You posted a graphic with 439 alleged contradictions. I need to verify them actually being contradictions to answer your comment. But I have literally spent my time as I have grown up reading and investigating these alleged contradictions and couldn't find any holding water. If you want me to arbitrarily pick one for you, I can. I just thought it would be best to let you pick a favourite.

I don't see how other self professed monotheists raping little boys disproves monotheism. That's like saying evolution isn't real because scientists in that field also argued for eugenics. And yes, it does matter to me. Child abuse disgusts me at my core and I would love nothing more than to see these people drowned with a millstone... Although that's probably too kind to them.

Anyway, Random number generator told me "205". "At what time of day was Jesus crucified?"

Mark 15:25

And it was the third hour when they crucified him.

John 19:14-16

Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,

Precise timekeeping is a modern innovation. Back then, they divided the day into quarters. Third hour could mean any time in the late morning or afternoon. Sixth hour could mean early or late afternoon. These people were eyeballing the sun.

That would require actually reading the Bible. Have you? I have. As I told the other person, I've had a Christian confirmation when I was 15.

don't see how other self professed monotheists raping little boys disproves monotheism

Disproves? As in, we're going to argue whether a single God actually exists? Don't be childish.

My proof is that the the Bible isn't the word of God is the Bible itself.

Eventually God can't make a triangle which doesn't have three angles. Because then it wouldn't be a triangle, see? You can go ahead and start looking into those contradictions, although I assume that if you actually do, that will be the most Bible you've ever actually read.

would love nothing more than to see these people drowned with a millstone... Although that's probably too kind to them.

Yet you defend the system which makes it possible in the first place, became the act of rape is so disconnected from you supporting Christianity that you think it's morally alright to still "believe" despite the massive and SYSTEMIC raping of children the Catholic Church did.

It doesn't matter what hour Jesus died in. It matters that there's contravening accounts. If there's a contradiction, both obviously can not be correct and thus the Bible can not be the infallible word of God, despite claiming so.

Yes I have read the Bible. I was Baptised in my early 20s. A triangle with four angles isn't a failure of power, it's a failure of language. We have a four angled shape God can create. It's called a Quadrilateral.

Rapes happen in hospitals and schools - does that mean proponents of healthcare and education are defending a system that makes it possible? Shame on them, I guess.

If you had a criminal court case, and you only had one witness, it would be less reliable than one with two witnesses.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

a failure of power, it's a failure of language.

And what is scripture made out of again? God .. or language?

You're really gonna make me go through all the tedious examples of how illogical monotheism is? No thanks.

Yes I have read the Bible

The whole Bible, not just bits which you found through googling it? The actual, whole book, from cover to cover?

I was Baptised in my early 20s

You read the whole Bible before deciding everything in it is true and thats definitely possible, despite there being sentences like "God can create triangles with angles of ≠ 3?"

Alright, well, you do you m8.

Rapes happen in hospitals and schools - does that mean proponents of healthcare and education are defending

If you show me a healthcare system that has as much systemic rape in it that Catholicism does, I'll show you a healthcare system which I criticise and advocate to reform.

If you had a criminal court case, and you only had one witness, it would be less reliable than one with two witnesses.

I'm sorry but I'm not smoking crack and can't keep up with you.

If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying "a guy threw red paint on my face", and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying "a guy threw red paint on us", especially when you then don't find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don't even recall ever seeing any.

I've read the Bible. I don't just Google it.

I'm literally a Protestant. I oppose "seals of confession" which allowed most of this abuse to happen. Abuse can still happen, just like how it can happen in schools and hospitals. I don't tolerate it.

If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying "a guy threw red paint on my face", and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying "a guy threw red paint on us", especially when you then don't find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don't even recall ever seeing any.

Except that's not what's happening. One guy said "Jesus was executed around Friday morning" and another guy said "Jesus was executed around the afternoon", and these are two guys from 2000 years ago who's only method of timekeeping was to look at the sun, and they split the day into quarters, it is a lot more understandable. Now say Jesus was executed at around 11am. That would both qualify as morning and around noon. If anything, it shows that they weren't corroborating a made up story and actually witnessed something, since they both gave their estimates of the time.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
