Extract

You have to understand: I work, socialize and post in circles where the only Sunday sacrament is brunch. I move mostly in the world of “nones,” otherwise known as the “spiritual-but-not-religious. “ Many of them don’t look kindly on Christians; they don't even think they know any.

So I sometimes feel I’m on the wrong side of history, and that makes me self-conscious about opening conversations about faith. But sharing posts, memes and tweets makes me feel like I might be able to, at the very least, let the nones know that Christianity isn't what they may think it is.

I have since left the guy, he has no honor.

He says something, when u tell him to provide backup, he calls u liar.
When u provide ur own backup, he mentions u without addressing what u have presented.
And still claim he is making a point.

The guy made claims on koran, bacteria, marriage, God on this thread without a single backup.

Then he keeps screaming liar, liar.

I doubt his mental capacity as of now.
Honestly.

Dalaman is one compulsive liar . His special subterfuge is to accuse you of lying then tell barefaced lies as a rebuttal . . How can you accuse another of lying then lie Only Dalaman can

damogul:
Dalaman Glenn Greenwald who writes for salon is an ANTI-THEIST

Mary Elizabeth Williams who works for salon is an atheist

Amanda Marcotte who works for salon is an atheist

Heather Digby Parton who works for salon is an atheist

Scott Timberg who works for salon is an atheist

Michele Filgate who works for salon is an atheist

David Daley who is now the chief editor in salon is an atheist

Should i continue?

www.salon.com is known everywhere as an Atheist media

Can you deny it?

damogul:
I suppose you do not know who an agnostic deist is and that the only difference between an atheist and an agnostic deist is on the issue of creation. You really are not so bright are you?

Its either you are an atheist or you have an atheistic leaning before you can work for www.salon.com

Since she said she believed in God did you not read the extract i provided free of charge from the same interview? Does that sound to you like someone who is a Christian despite "believing" in God?

She believes in the God idea but not the God of Religion. You really need to wake up.

Why not showw me other writers who are Christian and working for salon. Can you?

KingEbukasBlog:
Mister man even Christians say that God is not a man . Or God does not think like men .

Numbers 23:19
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

So yes , God does not resemble man in form or in mind

Deists also believe that God can interact with men and have a relationship with Him and even believe God can be worshiped .


So show me what kind of signature that God would leave in nature and stop this pathetic attempt to evade the question

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

Joan Walsh Is not a Christian. She is an Agnostic Deist and has left Salon since 2015 because they frustrated her out. She has slammed her old newspaper repeatedly for that. Since she was not in favor of much of how they wrote anything they frustrated her out and she is now with THE NATION MAGAZINE,

Before you can work for Salon you need to have an atheistic leaning.

Extract

Do you believe in the afterlife? Does your spirituality extend to that?

I think it’s more I-don’t-know. I can’t see it all ending completely; I think I am one of those people who believes in Something Else, but I don’t know what it is— a kind of Buddhist, we-are-all-united kind of oneness that we will rejoin or become conscious of that we don’t have. I sound like a nut! You’re making me sound like a nut!


As you make decisions, do you think about God?

I think as I’ve gotten older I definitely still pray but I don’t think of God as directing me in a particular direction. I don’t see it that way. I think prayer is very good for self-calming and as a way of organizing your thinking about what you want. I don’t know that I think it actually creates an outcome — not to get too touchy-feely about it — but just in case… I’m a little bit of a just-in-case prayer.

Stop lying for Atheism

Dalaman you are a deceiver and a fraud who uses biased Atheist news sites to refute stories that add credence to the Jonah story. Keep up with your lies and deception

damogul:
www.salon.com was founded by David Talbot to promote his atheistic views same way Seun opened Nairaland to give his atheistic views a voice. Before you can work in salon.com you must be an atheist. All their writers are atheists.

This is why the Militant atheist killings of 2015 in Calgary was given biased reporting and tagged as the new Religious scapegoat against atheism on his website even when CNN gave all the facts.

I will be giving that story on a thread soon.

The writer of that Whale swallowing story Ben Shattuck is also an atheist.

If you opened a company for a purpose as the CEO would you let the purpose be diverted? This is why much of their patronage and fan base is from Reddit.

I provide facts and not fabrications. Your man and website is compromised.

KingEbukasBlog:
Xenophanes in his criticism of anthropomorphism said that God does not resemble humans in form or in mind . Signature is a way of showing ownership for humans . God is a not a human , so why would God who is not human leave a signature in Nature ?

Please leave me transfixed with your response .

damogul:
ironically he has shown me repeatedly and spoken repeatedly and it matched scripture.

damogul:
The owner of www.salon.com is David Talbot and He is an atheist.

No wonder he dedicated his small tabloid to disproving that true story as that would prove the Jonah tale was possible

Maybe mount sinai was volcanic or so

Randomperson and dalaman i hope you are both reading

An interesting sidepoint is that Jonah says:

"Weeds were wrapped about my head
at the roots of the mountains." (2:5)

Geologist Harold L. Levin wrote:

"Eighteenth-century scientists had little knowledge of the topography of the ocean floors. They lived at a time when depth measurements were made by letting down a lead weight on the end of a rope. Not only was this method time consuming, but in the open ocean it was virtually impossible to prevent error from lateral drifting of the weight, or the ship, or both. As a result of these problems, only a limited number of soundings were made except in bays and offshore areas where such information was vital for safe navigation. Oceanographers interpreted the few measurements available as indicating that the ocean floors were monotonous flat plains. With the advent of continuous topographic profiles from echo-sounding devices, it was shown that the ocean floors are as irregular as the surface of the continents. Beneath the waves lay canyons deeper than the Grand Canyon, and mountain systems more magnificent than the Rockies."
(Levin 1981 p. 320

I don't imagine that Jonah saw the "roots of the mountains" in the Mediterranean Sea by peeking out of the mouth of the fish. Perhaps he guessed; perhaps he was "inspired". At any rate he got it right.

KingEbukasBlog:
Alright then .

But it still does not automatically validate their story .

Jonah is also historical figure and Nineveh is a real city which is close to Mosul in modern-day northern Iraq.

damogul:
Plus the story you claim salon has refuted has been authenticated by another which is actually a Naval source. So who is lying?

KingEbukasBlog:
Can you provide proof for this claim?

It still does not make the story untrue , its still a personal opinion .

how many hours was he swallowed for and even within that short time, he needed treatment... very incongruous with Jonah's story
and respond to my earlier comment where the story of James Bartley was proven to be a fiction

KingEbukasBlog:
Salon.com is just like naij . There are stories naij would post on their site but can't be seen in top news site like Punch , Vanguard , ThisDay

The site is just for personal essays by employed workers that can elicit reactions from people that's all . Its all about the opprobrium of generally accepted facts or beliefs .

Chicago, IL – An Arkansas man is alive after being swallowed by a whale on Saturday while visiting the Shedd Aquarium. Jonah Anderson, 24, is being treated for mild dehydration at Chicago’s Mercy Medical Center after being regurgitated early this morning.

The incident happened while viewing the Beluga Whale exhibit at Shedd. Witnesses say the whale, Puiji, came out of the pool, grabbed Anderson, and proceeded to swallow him whole. Anderson remained unharmed inside the whale until this morning when he was spit back onto the viewing platform.

“This is the first time any of our whales have exhibited aggressive behavior,” Shedd’s vice president of communications Andrea Smalec tells us. “We frequently allow special guest to interact with the whales, our staff even occasionally swim with the whales. This is completely unexpected.”

Animal trainers tried unsuccessfully to extract Anderson from the whale during the three days. Anderson was able to communicate with outsiders through text message during the stay. Friends and family tell us that Anderson remained positive and relaxed during the time.

“He seemed really upbeat,” Jonah’s girlfriend Mary, who was with him on the trip, tells us. “Of course this is not the first time something like this has happened. We were on a boat tour outside San Francisco last year when a whale snatched him from the side. That one scared him a bit, this time it all seemed routine. Not sure why this keeps happening.”

Doctors expect to release Anderson from the hospital later today. He hopes to return to Arkansas to visit his cousin Daniel who is in critical condition following a fall into the lion exhibit at the Little Rock Zoo.

It is a blog so the author can write anything he feels .

The same way I can declare the story true on my blog

God made a big fish to swallow Jonah . Isn't God powerful enough to keep Jonah alive for as long as he wants in the big fish What makes Him a SUPERnatural being then

How this is even an issue is beyond me
