No, I am a vile and contemptible creature rising out of the depths of the sea eating the flesh of fat beasts and throwing away their broken bones for the birds of the air to feast on..Who's that? You? Pope Hob the first?Did you tell the Pope that you've figured out the bible and why it seems like total nonsense?Yeah...I don't bother with hobelim. He has his own 100% interpretive approach to the bible where not a single word in the Bible actually means what the word means that literally no one else in the entire world subscribes to, so, no matter what you discuss with him, "It didn't happen", because it wasn't about the actual words, and events, it was all allegorical. It's a rather inventive way to insulate himself from reason: Oh, science says the sun can't stand still for 6 hours? That's okay, because the sun was just a metaphor for..,.So Jesus wasn't actually resurrected?
So, since his only rational response to any claim that science says that couldn't happen, his response is that's because it didn't, there is no point in discussing the matter with him.
On the other hand, hobelim is the quintessential example of the problem with the interpretive approach to the Bible. If any of it doesn't mean what it says, the none of it does. Ironically, that's exactly what hobelim says- that none of the Bible really means what it actually says.
You are wrong professor. The bible means exactly what it says when it says that Jesus rose from the dead.
What I have done is merely shown the only way to interpret that claim that conforms to and can be confirmed by reality without adding subtracting or altering a single written word.
lol...Nah I never bothered. Even so the odds are that the poor sod is feeling a little bit silly right about now..wearing that costume and all.
Hmmm, I wonder if he will know which is the right course to take..
Tune in next week for some more of the adventures of Captain Strangerthanfiction.
Who are you? Private Numbnuts?
Oh yeah, I remember. You're doing a bid in purgatory for eating a baloney sandwich on Friday when you were still just a supple and tender little boy..
