@NathanBozeman2 @logistrix You said "... hence why I am a Christian." I thought that might mean you either became or remain a Christian due to a bayesian analysis.
English

@Barrett_McC @logistrix That isn't what made me a Christian, no.
But that isn't what I claimed. I said that a Bayesian analysis, with reasonable priors, will show that Christianity is the most reasonable worldview. If that is correct, it is true whether that's why I became a Christian or not.

Why are we still platforming Trent Dougherty?

Tonight, we will demonstrate (mathematically) that Christianity is 99.99% probable based on the evidence. Join us!

@NathanBozeman2 @logistrix You're a Christian and/or remain a Christian because you did a bayesian analysis?
English

@logistrix It is a pretty bold claim, but I do think Bayesian analysis does show, with reasonable priors, that Christianity as a world view makes the most sense. Hence, why I am a Christian and try to show others they can be too.
But 99.99% is bold lol. I wonder how they get it that high.

@CapturingChrist @worldviewdesign Like when we ask you why the church won't release the data, samples, methodology, do actual independent analysis etc of your claimed eucharist miracles?
English

@worldviewdesign It’s a common strategy used to neutralize a threat.

He is risen! Not metaphorically. Not ‘in our hearts.’ The tomb is empty, the grave clothes are folded (and preserved), and death has been swallowed up in victory. Whatever you’re carrying today, the Resurrection means the last word belongs to God, and that word is Life.
Have a blessed Easter!

@darthgently @CSI_Starbase Silly them, able to discern reality and all that junk. It's much better to reflexively lash out and never truly introspect.
English

@CSI_Starbase You are unhinging yourself. Get a grip. Muting til you do.

This is what happens when your military commanders say
"Sir I think this is a bad idea and I don't want to put out people into that situation"
And your response is "IDGAF GTFO FAFO, WHERE'S THE KEG?"

@CapturingChrist @redeemed_zoomer Redeemed zoomer is now in the race for bottomest of the barrel apologist! Who will win??
English

@redeemed_zoomer You missed the point. The point is that the inference type you just called silly you think is licit in other contexts. It’s a double standard.

In short, early Church gatherings were intimately Catholic.
Gavin quotes Justin Martyr in his video saying the following:
“For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.”
This is simply not compatible with Baptist theology.

What would it have been like to attend a worship gathering in 150 AD? New video out today, recounting Justin Martyr's description and drawing implications. I am also going to make this one into a shorter animated video, Lord willing (will be a few months).

@HwsEleutheroi @CapturingChrist @javierperd2604 Ahahaha that's gotta hurt, Cam. It's why he's winning the race for the bottom of the barrel apologist.
English

@CapturingChrist @javierperd2604 And the devotees of those systems say the same thing. I do serious debates, not carnival side shows. The very fact you find this stuff compelling says a lot about how far you have gone from where you once were.
English

I'm actively looking for a Protestant that is willing to debate a Catholic on Eucharistic Miracles. The Catholic is Ethan Muse.
Tag a Protestant in the comments. (No need to tag @javierperd2604--he's not willing to do it.)

@timotheeology @RealCandaceO There is something about obviously gluttonous women who have not been able to find a man to marry them, who spend their time policing other people’s lives online.
They often claim authority not theirs, attempting to fulfil masculine roles, acting like clergy or something. V odd.

@NewReaganCaucus @999vamit Say you're right, and the numbers are wrong, how wrong are they? Are they off by 10,000 civilians? 20,000? What number makes it's okay? They could be off by an order of magnitude and you still have thousands of civilian deaths. Just saying "blame hamas" is reductive and childish.
English

@999vamit @Barrett_McC We don't understand why people are so credulous about Hamas's own figures.
English

@NewReaganCaucus @999vamit Are you really this credulous? Hamas's own numbers? At least pretend to engage with intellectual honesty. These numbers come from many sources not limited to the WHO and peer reviewed papers in journals like the Lancet. This is blanket reality denial.
English

@NewReaganCaucus Oh, did hamas drop the bombs that killed 60,000+ civilians?
