Boating related slant on your discussion:


Do you realize that the Bible is not a single book? It is a library of
books.

If you went down to the public library to learn about, say, boat
handling you might find one book that describes how to launch a cartop
kayak and select the proper paddle. You might find another that says
you will need a crew of 60 to properly set the sails, and still another
that describes sailing single handed. You might find another that
describes coordinating the port and starboard engines when manuevering
a power boat, and yet another that describes how to manuever with a
single screw. Are all of these books "incorrect" because they
contradict one another? Is all of the information in the library
invalid because different people at different times and from different
perspectives wrote about a variety of aspects of boat handling? Of
course not. An informed person would realize that trying to apply the
literal instructions for sailing a 19th century frigate, paddling a
kayak, operating a sailing dinghy,
or bringing a twin screw Bayliner to the dock to a different situation
or even simultaneously
on any single vessel would result in disaster. Yet each book in the
library could easily expand a reader's total awareness of boat
handling, and all are true and useful within their
specific frame of reference.

Simply because some books in the library come to different conclusions
than other books in the library or address the same topic from
different perspectives, that would hardly be a valid reason to dismiss
any of the books or the entire contents of the library as bogus.

Your reference to Genesis, for example. I absolutely believe that the
Genesis cosmology accurately reports how an ancient people expressed
their interpretation and understanding of a creative force in or for
the universe. There is a lot to be learned from that, but (IMO) the
lesson has been wasted on those who glean nothing more than some belief
that the earth is only 6000 years old or that life as we know it in
this current era emerged during a period of seven rotations of the
earth.

Nice clarification.

Do you think Jesus is a fictional character who did not live
approximately 2000 yrs ago?

Never said that. Never intended that. Sorry, Reggie, you can't put
words in my mouth.

In short, he could have been a real character, and could quite
possibly
been fictional. Do you have any evidence that he was real? And
again,
do you believe that the world is 6000 years old, or don't you?

No I don't believe the world is 6000 yrs old, do you?

Nope, it's much, much older.

Yes I do believe an individual by the name of Jesus lived about 2000
yrs
ago, do you?

No, no one has shown me any diffinititve evidence of such. I don't
however NOT believe it, either, same reason, no one has shown me any
evidence that there wasn't.


How do you know? Hearsay?

How do I know WHAT???

You stupid idiot!!!!! You just CAN'T get it right, can you? I NEVER,
EVER said the earth was 6000 years old. You can't possibly be that

If you teach Karate, if you are a black belt, then what do you teach
your students about self control? Do you teach them to never walk
away, but hold your ground and kick ass no matter how trivial the
confrontation.... even if just walking away would be infinitely
simpler?

Take a deep breath and a few steps back. See if you are handling these
words in a way that you would like your students to handle them.

Bassy,
Since you realize rec.boats is not real life, why do you get yourself
worked up into a tizzy so often? The antagonistic individuals who loved
to have long name calling flamefest have for the most part left
rec.boats and moved onto other forums for name calling and fighting,
take a chill pill and enjoy life.
