I guess I'm lost for now. Hopefully, I'll find time for it in the future and become unlost.

You are a book away from being lost.

Pastafari:
The fallacy of equivocation occurs when a key term or phrase in an argument is used in an ambiguous way, with one meaning in one portion of the argument and then another meaning in another portion of the argument

I didn't ask you to define the fallacy

I said you should prove that I'm guilty of it

You are guilty of lying if you say I used anything ambiguously

You asked for my definition and I gave you one


Your own definition doesn't matter to me


You have repeated or used your definition in vain


I'm stuck to mine

Pastafari:

Sounds like when some say I am darned to hell if I don't believe their book.

OK. Good luck then

Looks like you won't get it until you actually read the book

I hope you realise its a similar idea to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot?wprov=sfla1]Russell's Tea Pot[/url]. Like a modern form of it used to ridicule those who wanted to introduce intelligent design into the Kansas School Board?

Now you are getting it. keep reading

I got it from Russell! Many many years ago!

Pasta. Maybe you should spend some time knowing buda.

Buda, you need to spend more time knowing the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Just about as much time as I need to spend reading books about fairies and Father Christmas, or angels or messiahs and Physics and gods I suppose, just that there's unfortunately only 24 hours in a day and my eyes only work for 3.

Its why I'm on here so much. I'd rather spend those 3 hours reading what you write than a book you say you believe. You are far more interesting than a Flying Spaghetti Monster, is what I think.

No one will finish reading a good book in a day.

Calm down budaatum is far more nuanced than she might appear.

Buda is a female?

Budaatum is both he and she, use anyone you like.

LOL. Budaatum is he. I know, trust me

budaatum:
I gain a lot from reading that humans were described as being so dumb that Adam believed that Eve was a rib. It helps me appreciate how far we have come.

The "rib" thing is a play (pun), in the Hebrew, on Eve's (Babylonian) name. They got it from the Babylonian myth system, as well as numerous other mythological concepts, including one of the many sons of their chief god, whose name was Yahweh. There is a line in Deuteronomy which accidentally confirms this, as well as states that Jacob was the allotted apportioned part of the human race given to Yahweh, by his father, El Elyon.

Scholars have not always understood where Yahweh came from. His relationship to Babylon/El Elyon was not fully understood until the Royal Library of Ashurbanipal was discovered at ancient Nineveh in the late 19th Century.

budaatum:
Also is it written that you should, "ask and knock and seek with all your heart and soul and mind", so "just reading" is clearly out of the question for those seeking to understand.

Scholars know a great deal about the texts, and many, if not most would not agree with that. It's a religious excuse for not actually doing the real work to understand ancient Near Eastern literature, and that there may be things the texts are saying which are not there.

Depending on what you mean by "asking and knocking", without the academic work, is worthless.

Tamaratonye1:

LOL. Budaatum is he. I know, trust me

I am maintaining my fantasy that buda is a she.

Tamaratonye1:

It means, do extensive research, instead of believing only one book.

budaatum:
So long as my mind is open, buda is extremely very delighted.

.....Then why does buda feel the need to spout gibberish ...... and condescendingly start accusing total strangers of being blinded and other barely coherent rubbish ?
.......Is buda suffering from Dunning Kruger..?


........Why can't buda bask in the great openness of his/her non-judging mind ..... and not inflict his/her blathering on people who did not ask for it ?

And btw, your attempts at humour are even more laughable (no, not in a funny way) than your attempts at coming across as intellectual and enlightened.... Bro, It's a bit embarrassing,.........

........ and most of your latest posts is utter gibberish, intelligible (possibly) only to you........... But I think buda is used to talking to his/herself

budaatum:

my pending blindness stops me.

WTH?? O my dear buda what ailest thee? No surgery or treatment options?

While I am glad you are at least reading buda, do know that if you want to understand buda you'd ask questions.

Punishment for reading too much with bad light. Eyes now give up after 3-4 hours reading to free me to do other more interesting things like write.

What's funny, HellVictorinho, your demons following you whatever your moniker.

According to you

NO I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO JUDGE YOU. RAISE WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT THE BIBLE IS OVERRATED OR EXAGGERATED AND I WILL ANSWER YOU.

I think it's overrated because it doesn't deserve to be as praised as it is


It shouldn't be taken as seriously as it is taken
