If you read my 1400 posts maybe starting with post 7667 (pg. 192) you will find out. If you don't like the evidence then so be it.What evidence do you have that it's not?

Once again, "In God We Trust" was not put on the dollar bill until 1957, and it was only because of the time and Mccarthyism, THE BIG RED SCARE.

The first "In God We Trust" showed up on the Two Cent Piece in 1864 during a Civil War.
Funny how we turn to God when times are tough. The churches were packed after 911. And Lincoln mentioned God or Providence 11 times in his second inaugural address (during the Civil War).
It must because you always use slaves instead of servants even though the vast majority of translations say servants. And you never mention that the punished servant in the parable beat several maidens and several manservants.

because servant is highly misleading. Dolous is a type of slave, a servant. It is entirely dishonest to pretend that the servant being described is the same as a maid for hire. Sorry, but Jesus condoned slavery and the beating of slaves.
the bible condones slavery.
The bible condones the slaughter of children.
The bible is a horrible source of morality.
Actually, no. it say that if a slave knew or didn't know he broke a rule, he'd get beat. only the severity would be different.

No, it is funny that you do, and it is not we thank-you. The founding father's would have been upset with this "GOD" stuff put on the money. And it doesn't say which god to begin with, a flying one comes to mind.
Paul
And on Lincoln, it is called, "Playing to the crowd"

Doc, I have read every one of your 1400 posts in this thread. I wish I hadn't, believe me. I want that time back. But I have. And you have yet to produce anything that is actually valid evidence.
All you've presented so far is the circular "The bible is true because it says it's true" and the argument from popularity "X number of people believe, so it must be true."
Those sources/"pieces of evidence" would hardly prove that I exist, much less that the supernatural exists(ed).

You got it
, good, it is the same so-called god reasoning that we have gotten so far. The bible says the bible is right, so the bible is right because the bible says so, The bible.............Paul

Actually, I think it goes more like:
The bible says the bible is true, and since X number of "important" and X*10^100 "not-so-important" people feel that to be sufficient, you should as well because the bible says the bible is true.

Now that I know you don't have me on ignore, would you define the above logical fallacies for me, please? And explain why they are logical fallacies?
Where did they all go? How did they vanish without trace? Surely such a substantial nucleus of a church, of eyewitnesses, would have led to a thriving community of believers in the area; where is it?
You mentioned this before; even if Nero did blame the Christians, that in itself doesn't prove there was any more than a visible handful of them, not a substantial church.
