Re: Another Hypothetical
"That's right, the forum IS lively because we are thinkers and the questions and insights are far more interesting than the parroting and cut and pasting from a book."
The Book is part of the discussion is it not?
"What would the "real discussion" be about if we weren't here?"
It would be about Christianity, the subject of this forum.
"Perhaps you could argue amongst yourselves about which denomination is the true one. Or put your own spin on interpretation of the bible. Perhaps argue with the catholics. Or the mormons. Or the pentecostols. Or the methodists. Ad infinitum. One denomination is always superior to the next, that is why there are SO MANY!!"
That could be a possibility, though I am not denominated with any organization, so maybe my input wouldn't be all that extensive in such a case.
" I was a christian at one time, so I know all the arguments. Christians are not united and rarely see eye to eye."
This is ironic because IC and Spud tend to treat them as if they were in their messages.
You know all the arguments? Maybe you could write up a compilation and we could check it out...might be interesting.
