HEY!

Look at it like this. We have the internet. We have the string theory. We have microwaves. We have fucking cars, we have lightbulbs, we have the power of God in our hands with science; we can even make our own humans now, and enhance pre-existing ones with gene theraphy. We have never known so much, or been able to do so many things.

Jesus and his followers thought that maggots appeared in meat because it got too old.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE?

jesus was an ordinary guy

the christian church made up that other stuff

I actually know Christians who believe mental illness is demon possession. We're never going to get anywhere with people like that running the world.

Technically they weren't completely wrong that maggot appear in meat because it gets too old. Granted that's a pretty rudamentary way of looking at it, but hey. And what're you trying to prove? What's the argument here? Who are we supposed to believe Jesus or modern technology? Hmm, that's a conundrum. Should I side with a dead so-called prophet demi god or a collective of inanimate objects and theories that can't even form an opinion of themselves?

You're comparing apples to elephants here. Modern technology doesn't prove that Jesus was wrong, and what was Jesus wrong about? Jesus never said that modern technology was wrong. Really, Jesus (fictional or not) was pretty right on, and I really just don't see how the two coincide.

It would be correct to understand that it's both logic and intuition.

That things stem from both a local and non-local source.

Logic is just as flawed as anything else. To qoute Plato "All I know is I know nothing." To be logical you have to accept that within logic there is always room for error. Science changes, the world changes, theories are proven, species are discovered, laws of nature are proven wrong, myths are uncovered, genius becomes idiocy. To say you prefer logic is naive considering logic is just what we know as logical right now. It could be proven wrong or become wrong at any moment, thereby making it illogical.

Jesus was probably the most enlightened person ever to exist.
