Indeed. I wouldn't want to accidentally give us a good name.

Perhaps, but even if that turns out to be so, it's still
interesting to me to try to see exactly where the argument jumps
from reason to faith.

Consider: this cup has no coffee in it.
The claim is not that the cup is empty, the claim is that the cup
has no coffee in it.

You are equating "negative statement" and "untestable statement".
Why?

My example was Head Start which IS a federal program therefore
negating most of the following.
If there is a federal program that is aimed at improving you I'm
unaware of it. I've been happy with federal insistence on clean
air, clean water, and reasonably safe prescription drugs (not
satisfied but pleased that something, however inadequate, was being
done). It appears this is likely to change. I don't think you'll
like the result of federal inaction in these areas

A "kill the messegner" evasion. Aren't they clever!
Did anybody ask him (yes, I know as much as a futility as the first)- if
his godling wouldn't ask for a sacrifice just who is it that determines
such a thing. My answer would be the very same people who made up the
godling story in the first place.
The whole Jesus story is so contrived as to be laughable. If you changed
the names of the characters- the story would

OH I agree. People can get lost semantics losing focus on the subject
all together. You could end up with a ream of meaningless double
speak; gobbly gook the authors' explaining away the actual subject as 'a
mystery' only God knows! (("Landru Gude Us!"))

Mormon student may be excommunicated

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) A graduate student with Mormon family roots
says he will probably be excommunicated next week for articles he has
written questioning the validity of the Book of Mormon.
Thomas W. Murphy, 35, published an article in the May Signature Books
anthology, "American Apocrypha", that uses genetic data to discredit the
Book of Mormon claim that American Indians

However, assuming that "x" is something definable and detectable, you
can prove the negative claim that "x" does not exist within reasonable
boundaries of time and space. Did you read the article? Here's the URL

Do a text search for "negative" on that page and you'll find the relevant

prove a negative. He
My proof is...
He was as fundie a Catholic as you could get in the US.
Remember the thread between me and him about the Minnesota exorcism
book that unfortunately it turned out for him that I had an e-text

There is a poster using the name "God Dam!" who is not Dan Ceppa. This is

You bet it sounds odd. Source would be most scholarly
commentaries on the Gospel of Thomas. I think Elaine Pagels, for
example, mentions this in her book on the Gnostic gospels. There's
a Gospel of Thomas web page if you want to dig deeper.
Just who he was supposed to be a twin of is open to speculation.
The narrative of David slaying Goliath is 1 Samuel 17. It says
that this is how David came to Saul's attention, in
