The sacrifice of the crucifixion, and thus the basis for Christianity, means nothing if Jesus knew he was God, eternal, all-powerful. To such a being the crucifixion would be infinitely less convenient than a mosquito bite would be to us. What I wrote was a Christian apology given to me for this problem. It also explains away the factual inaccuracy of the mustard seed parable.
Try reading it for Truth, as opposed to seeking error.
I am a skeptic by nature.
Why do feel it necessary to make me the subject?
You are the one who went from debate to meaningless insult.
The subject is "should God be taught in the schools"?
To me the subject is "Should theology be taught as science in schools?" The answer is, of course, no.
This is America. We have freedom of religion, just as you have freedom FROM religion.
Many Christians disagree with you on the latter part of that statement, but I agree. However, having God taught in schools as indoctrination violates any freedom from religion. It is also opposed by many Christians who are afraid of their version of God not being taught. There has been a deadly riot in this country just over which version of the Bible would be used, Protestants vs. Catholics.
Me, I actually have no problem with religious courses in school as long as they stick to the educational aspect and stay away from indoctrination. There are many aspects of religion and the Bible that are perfectly valid areas of academic study, and to deny those is to deny a fully rounded education.
ou wish to place your doctrine as THE TRUTH, and all others as heresy.
Why must you misrepresent my position this way? It is either dishonesty or misunderstanding on your part. Several times in this thread I have stated that science can make no claim to "THE TRUTH" and that I disagree with those who say it does.
Got carbon credits?
I still think it sucks that I was too honest to get into this racket of relieving guilty rich people of their money. I could have been a millionaire by now.

Sorry,
