Don't take this wrong, but the evidence that the Grail exists is weaker than the evidence that Indiana Jones exists.IndySeven said:The Grail is probably in an ancient temple someplace in the Middle East. It would be interesting to find out where it really is.
Great, can I come?IndySeven said:How about I go on a little trek to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon to straighten this all out!
Now my young friend, no one said it word by word, but if you read the message I quoted recently, you'll notice that's exactly what it says, just in other words.WillKill4Food said:I don't recall that being mentioned by anyone here.
Funny, how something similar can be said about all of Biblical history.WillKill4Food said:English literature invented the Grail as we know it today. The chances that it still exists in a recognizable form are like .01%

WillKill4Food said:That's fine. I agree with you. It was the doubting about the story of Jesus's existence that made me question your words.
It says that a million people afraid of the name suggests that there is something divine about it. But, that's not a valid argument, like you said. Billions fear the swastika, too. However, there is much support for Christianity that I'll gladly post if needed.Finn said:Now my young friend, no one said it word by word, but if you read the message I quoted recently, you'll notice that's exactly what it says, just in other words.
One single council that happened centuries after the last book of the Bible was written can hardly be considered Biblical history. Catholic history is a much better word.Finn said:Funny, how something similar can be said about all of Biblical history.
You said: "And of course, all of this is assuming you believe in the story of Jesus anyway."In my defense, I never doubted Jesus' existence. I said something along the lines of "if you believe that story at all," and left it up to the reader.

Good, then there's nothing to disagree with. Like I said, there are good arguments, "strength in numbers" just isn't one of them.WillKill4Food said:It says that a million people afraid of the name suggests that there is something divine about it.

In similar manner, it's stupid to say that it's the Arthurian legends and such that have formed our current understanding of the Grail, especially when those are allegedly renounced as mostly fiction by all of us. I wasn't actually pointing out an infallacy in the content of your arguments, but the argumentation itself. And you made my point yourself, beautifully. See?WillKill4Food said:One single council that happened centuries after the last book of the Bible was written can hardly be considered Biblical history. Catholic history is a much better word.
Perhaps if you had read the article, you would know that the council was held to answer and mend Protestant concerns so that the Catholic church could condemn us for not following them.
It was the result a squabble that developed because of corruption and heresy within the church, and has nothing to do with Biblical history.
Even though monkey suggested that everybody in Tennessee is a Christian, that's far from the truth.Man, you seem like one of the only people here who agrees with the stuff I say, and It's very pleasing to read that someones not afraid to admit there're a Christian .
The Arthurian legends have formed much of what we think about the grail.In similar manner, it's stupid to say that it's the Arthurian legends and such that have formed our current understanding of the Grail, especially when those are allegedly renounced as mostly fiction by all of us.
Which point? You are being ambiguous.I wasn't actually pointing out an infallacy in the content of your arguments, but the argumentation itself. And you made my point yourself, beautifully. See?
After skimming through your latest contributions, I honestly wasn't expecting you to.WillKill4Food said:Not sure I follow what you're saying.

Jesus, what do you need me to do? Draw you a map so you can locate the simplest insult I just flinged at you?WillKill4Food said:What's that supposed to mean?
I did, and therefore...WillKill4Food said:Read my edited post.
Luckily I didn't.WillKill4Food said:If you are suggesting that the Bible is fallible because the grail is infallible, you are direly misguided.
I knew it was an insult.Finn said:Jesus, what do you need me to do? Draw you a map so you can locate the simplest insult I just flinged at you?
WillKill4Food said:I would assume that as a moderator you are above insults during what should be an intelligent discussion.

Going pseudo-intellectual, eh? Atta boy.WillKill4Food said:However, like I said, you have made many points, and some I have agreed with and supported. Others I haven't. So, there were many you could have alluded to.
I'm so not going to spell out the paradox in this statement.WillKill4Food said:I would assume that as a moderator you are above insults during what should be an intelligent discussion.

Admitting that you are unworthy of the job?Finn said:And that is why you fail.
Non-existent. Kind of funny to hear that word from the mouth of a devout Christian.WillKill4Food said:You enjoy making non-existent points, don't you?
And yet again, I recommend you to actually read what I say. I haven't been once sarcastic during this discussion.WillKill4Food said:Because I used vocabulary higher than a fifth grader?
You know, when I have to voice the thing out in my head to get it to make sense, it's kind of not a thing that exactly brings credibility to the argument...WillKill4Food said:That makes since, being that there were known.
