Debate is good mate .Broadens the mind even at if at the end no quarter is given . Empires have fallen through absolutism .People want truth not an idea . Some people like debate , I'm not interested tbh. The Bible was probably used for absolutism in the past but I'm sure as a species we've evolved away from that . Like I've said before I don't take the Bible literally , how easy is it to slightly alter a story for it to make sense .. Say Noah and his ark for instance what's not to say he was a farmer during a rainy season and his farm was flooding and he prayed and then he decided to put his best breeding animals on a boat he built to escape that flood .. and over the years Chinese whispers and such it's been slightly exaggerated . I'm a Christian but I also believe in science and evolution btw , lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
