    a failure of power, it’s a failure of language.

    And what is scripture made out of again? God … or language?

    You’re really gonna make me go through all the tedious examples of how illogical monotheism is? No thanks.

    Yes I have read the Bible

    The whole Bible, not just bits which you found through googling it? The actual, whole book, from cover to cover?

    I was Baptised in my early 20s

    You read the whole Bible before deciding everything in it is true and thats definitely possible, despite there being sentences like “God can create triangles with angles of ≠ 3?”

    Alright, well, you do you m8.

    Rapes happen in hospitals and schools - does that mean proponents of healthcare and education are defending

    If you show me a healthcare system that has as much systemic rape in it that Catholicism does, I’ll show you a healthcare system which I criticise and advocate to reform.

    If you had a criminal court case, and you only had one witness, it would be less reliable than one with two witnesses.

    I’m sorry but I’m not smoking crack and can’t keep up with you.

    If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying “a guy threw red paint on my face”, and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying “a guy threw red paint on us”, especially when you then don’t find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don’t even recall ever seeing any.

      I’ve read the Bible. I don’t just Google it.

      I’m literally a Protestant. I oppose “seals of confession” which allowed most of this abuse to happen. Abuse can still happen, just like how it can happen in schools and hospitals. I don’t tolerate it.

      If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying “a guy threw red paint on my face”, and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying “a guy threw red paint on us”, especially when you then don’t find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don’t even recall ever seeing any.

      Except that’s not what’s happening. One guy said “Jesus was executed around Friday morning” and another guy said “Jesus was executed around the afternoon”, and these are two guys from 2000 years ago who’s only method of timekeeping was to look at the sun, and they split the day into quarters, it is a lot more understandable. Now say Jesus was executed at around 11am. That would both qualify as morning and around noon. If anything, it shows that they weren’t corroborating a made up story and actually witnessed something, since they both gave their estimates of the time.
