@Persixty @5Solas2 Did the enemies of Jesus embellish their stories to when they inadvertently admitted to his miracles, but tried to discredit him by calling him a sorcerer who got his powers from demons instead?

Yes, the Gospels record that Jesus' opponents (Pharisees and scribes) accused him of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons (Mark 3:22; Matthew 12:24; Luke 11:15). Later Jewish sources like the Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) describe him as hanged for practicing sorcery and leading Israel astray. You're right—this is a hostile-witness detail. Critics didn't deny the reported acts; they offered an alternative explanation rather than claiming "nothing happened." It aligns with the broader historical pattern around Jesus' ministry.

@Saanvi_dhillon You should think of array subscripts as offsets from the start not ordinal positions.
There are micro-optimizations to them that are now baked in.

Sure, happy birthday to Shakespeare, but it's a fact that he stole most of his plots. Like, one play is a total ripoff of West Side Story, but set in the olden days.

@PhysInHistory So long as you dont confuse the mythology of religion with the science of reality. There is no conflict.
In the same way, the magic of Harry Potter is also no in conflict with science.

@EduardoYukio_ @MudkipNerd_ If 2ab=0 then at least one a and b is 0.
So you're dealing with a line or a point in which a+b=c. Not normally considered a triangle.

@_TightWadBill Don't speak so soon. Mathematically they could finish above West Ham. West Ham lose their remaining matches by at least 1 goal and Wolves win them all by an average of 3 goals.

@Neosocratas @DeeWaynee94 No I don't. There's no external corroboration for the supernatural events of The Bible and all the fact-based evidence we have tells us with certainty at least most of them are mythological stories. We absolutely must not say they they're objective historical accounts.
English
@Persixty @DeeWaynee94 You confuse the Biblical record with mythology.
English
I know religion is man-made because it behaves exactly like something humans made up under fear, ignorance, power, and death anxiety.
Thousands of gods.
Thousands of sects.
Endless contradictions.
Somehow each one just happens to be “true” where its believers were born.
What a miracle. 🙄 🥱

@Neosocratas @DeeWaynee94 No such logic exists unless you embed it in your premises.
They're only based on objective historic fact if you confuse mythology with reality.
If you do that Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs establish Anubis as objective historical fact.
English
The God of the Bible requires a different set of data. We can establish that only one God exist by logic. Who that God is can only be revealed historically. Judaism and Christianity are based from objective historic facts, they did not "pop out" fully formed from a single source as Buddhism, Confucianism, and Islam.
"1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life. 2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us." 1 John

@Neosocratas @DeeWaynee94 We don't know so God must exist to be answer is a common but utterly flawed argument. Then assuming that it must be the specific God you believe in is doubling the flaw.
English
@DeeWaynee94 What happens when belief in God is the logical conclusion to scientific and historic evidence?
English
@southside_mafs It's called Apophenia. The tendency so perceive connections between unrelated things.
Pareidolia is a form it. The most common is to see faces in things. We all do it but sometimes people take it far too seriously.

Laminin, the molecule that holds the human body together, is shaped like a cross. God’s design is intentional.

@DeeWaynee94 Peer review by people clearly unable to distinguish between mythology and reality.
English
🤣 “The Bible is peer reviewed” is such a funny line.
Studied by scholars is not the same as peer reviewed, and peer reviewed is not the same as true.
People analyse Homer too. That doesn’t make Zeus real.

@DeeWaynee94 @darwintojesus The fact you dont know the Bible is the most peer reviewed book in existence is insane.

@Ernest1588761 Because when Christianity showed up people were already eating pigs and were unwilling to stop because bacon.
To force people is to say because they believe some made-up nonsense they have to believe more.
English
Why do Christians eat pork when the Bible clearly tells them not to?
Or maybe it taste better than the Bible lies?😂😂😂

@bull_feath95552 @AwesomEmergency His humour seems to end at The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
English
@AwesomEmergency One of the best things about George Lucas is that he doesn’t take StarWars too seriously. He’s passionate about it, that’s obvious, but it’s totally cool with it being parodied. He even voiced himself for a robot chicken special.
English
When Mel Brooks made the First Spaceballs. George Lucas told him he was cool with it, as long as Lone Star didn't dress like Han Solo...So he dressed him like Indiana Jones 😂
