Jason:
Yeah, i have changed my moniker. (you want brownie points for figuring that
out?) Who is my friend that isn't courageous enough to defend the answers
here?

POOBAH
I was pointing out to DDD who you were, it wasn't obvious at first.

As for your friend, I have no idea who he is, but here is a quote you
attributed to him on April 5:

Once again, I don't see the problem.  When you understand linguistics and
customs and culture of the day, the problem disappears.  Again, I don't know
what the atheists' problems are (by the way, to be an atheist you must first
presuppose the Christian theistic worldview, and then borrow from it--their
worldview wouldn't exist without ours).  It was a common thing of that day,
and even our day, as I already used in the hospital example, of using the
word "dead" or "killed" to mean "mortally wounded."  But to clear up this
so-called "discrepancy," here is the following suggestion taken from a
commentary, which of course will not satisfy your atheist friends, because
nothing will:

He's real courageous in attacking atheists who have no means to respond, but
doesn't seem willing to defend his beliefs here, the coward.

Jason:
*WHAT* i don't see the relevance of is your useless badgering of the Bible.
Debates i see, but idiotic insults of the Bible is a bore. It's obviously
your free will to do so, but it makes you look silly. AGAIN, probably just
me. But i doubt it.

POOBAH
Useless badgering of the Bible? As usual, you make no sense to me. If you
are talking about the bantering between me & the rev, well if that makes me
look silly then silly I'll be. If useless badgering means pointing out the
contradictions & discrepancies between the Bible & Christian practice, then
I for one don't consider it useless.

Nonetheless, this exchange really is a bore, so I won't respond again.
