For the people saying that God is "infallible"...
Remember, he DID call a mulligan with Noah's ark, so there's that.
Let's be rational about this, shall we?
Obama's press conference yesterday, was in a sense very early on.
It was absolutely correct from him to say what he said.
Jumping the gun is worse than not mentioning a point that has yet to be confirmed by the authorities.
And when Obama's statements were made, nothing was clear just yet.
Some things are still not known today over 24 hours later.
He said, it's been an act of terror and hatred. And that's perfectly correct for that moment.
Presidential candidates can say what they want. They don't have a responsibility, especially towards other leaders/nations.
"The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."
And this is where the per capita data gets thrown around.
Honestly the whole argument is boring at this point.
We are country of 320+ million and 400 million guns. We have a firearm murder rate of about 0.003% yearly. (a majority of which are gang related)
Good enough for me.
I wonder how much the cost of ammo will go up after this. I already cringe when I go through a 30 round mag.
You didnt say divinity, you said "Avatar of god". That is not what Jesus was.
I'm not sure why you drift to Paul when you still have yet to argue the main point, how is several disciples writting freely on the life of Jesus comparable to an angel showing up and having Mohamad and others write his command ?
This is the difference between a dictation and an interpretation. Can you not see it ?
You don't know stats very well then do you? A city in the US has higher gun crime than Germany for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ted_death_rate
Take a look at the UK and US. UK with what 60-70 million people? The stats look way off when you compare how many gun related deaths there are.
...There's only one divine being in Christian mythos, and that's God. If Jesus is divine, it's because he's an Avatar of God.
If the Bible is considered "infallible," then they can't be interpretations of events. They have to be perfectly transcribed, or else they aren't infallible words, they're tainted by perception and prejudice.
3DS Friend Code: 0146-9205-4817. Could show as either Chris or Chrysia.
Are you suggesting that all those other shootings done by Christians aren't relevant because they weren't very good at it? I didn't say "Christians are bad too", i merely mentioned that both religions are the same. Religions say one thing is good, one thing is bad, it is the mentality that a person has in how far they are willing to go to enforce their believes. But this has more to do with the whole cultural thing then it does with the religion it self.

The believers in Biblical Inerrancy typically preach that when writing the Bible, the disciples (and other authors) were directly inhabited by the spirit, and by this means his direct word was recorded.
Literally:
The idea that the Bible is the direct word of god really isn't a terrible uncommon one among fundamentalists, I don't know why you are trying so hard to deny this."Since everything asserted by the inspired authors or sacred writers must be held to be asserted by the Holy Spirit, it follows that the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings for the sake of salvation"
Pull me the source on that, Mr. Stats.

What I'm seeing is that a bullet is easier to survive.
In this very mass shooting case, there were more surviving victims than dead victims.
