    Hate to over use it but it's quite an accurate assessment of sorts in my view.

    I'm fairly certain that the 'body of christ' aka communion is literally the flesh of jesus, a product of the process of transmogrefication or something. According to the Vatican. Are you saying that moses didn't part the sea, there was no Ark, or Garden of Eden? Most Irish catholics haven't a clue what's in the bible, which the church would accept is a fairly important book, for them.


    Have you even tasted the wafer? Did it taste like flesh to you?:) It is clearly a symbolic concept, regardless of what the RCC says.

    I don't believe Moses parted the sea, or there was a global flood, or a garden of Eden, or for that matter God handing Moses a stone with ten commandments. I believe these, along with much of the bible, were visions by early mystics who were on hallucinogenic mushrooms.

    I was referring to the more liberal churches such as the Episcopalians and the Unitarians.

    "Bad Atheist Arguments"

    Rightly asking for evidence or proof, but then either never considering or deciding what evidence or proof would be personally sufficient for you.

    That is itself an absolute. Ergo, Everyone in Star Wars is a jerk.

    Asking for evidence or proof and then decrying it as insufficient, is actually the theistic position.

    It is perfectly clear what will get us atheists to change our position re god, ie testable, repeatable and independently verifiable evidence of his existence.
