    So, you get introduced to a term that you were not familiar with, and suddenly I am the bad guy because I used a term that I have had no need to use prior to this discussion on banishment. The official definition of the term totally wrecks your argument and you are now infuriated by my actions. Tsk Tsk. Grow up and face the music called language.

    You still have not shown where I have told a lie. You keep making the accusation but you fail to prove your point.

    Then you pretend to be a mind reader and declare that you know what is in my mind... Double Tsk Tsk.

    Trying to troll me for my choice of avatar is your idea of attempting to adhere to the rules of the forum, is it?

    That's OK, my confused friend. Perhaps one day you will find it in yourself to admit the truth.

    Do you really think people will not see through this garbage.
    You said I was banished from ministry.
    You posted the definition showing that a banishment is something done To something.
    Then you, caught in your own moronic drivel AGAIN, post a definition of something you never said, and declare victory.
    It's so sad to watch you.
    The more demonstrative you get, the more desperate you get, and the more pitiable.
    No matter what side of the theological debate one is on, this kind of behavior is an abortion of critical thinking, and a rejection of honesty.

    Yeah, don't worry about it. I can't believe the tack that Incorp. is actually trying to use here. It's truly laughable.

    But it keeps you and your ilk befuddled and unable to refute. All you can resort to is attacking the messenger. Personal attacks comprised of innuendos.

    You've been refuted.
    You've been humiliated.
    Now you only need either the humility or the awareness or the intellect to realize it.
    The rest of us already know.

    Yes I did and Yes you were. You were self-banished.

    Yes I did and I also showed where you were the official making the decree of banishment.

    When you failed to see the relevance of the definition of 'banished', I was left with no recourse but to show you that 'self-banishment' was applicable... this was done in a hope that you would comprehend the definitions of the terms. Seemingly, you were and are still not possessing that level of comprehension.

    It is even sadder for me to have to sit here and keep correcting you.

    I really believe that you should redirect that pity and direct it toward your own being.

    My behavior is definitely not an abandonment of 'critical thinking' as I have clearly demonstrated that I can be critical of the things people on this forum place in writing. Rejection of honesty, would be better demonstrated by your unwillingness to accept standard definitions of terms that you use.

    It's just sad now.
    You are a self-parody. (You see how that works. If I had simply said parody then you would have been someone else's work. In this case you do the work as well, thus self. The word "self" is a necessary and critical modifier to the original intent of the word "parody". They don't mean the same thing and your language comprehension does not exist except as a contorted attempt to feel like you have a brain in your head.

    And more personal attacks. Yet unable to refute what I have stated.

    It's his continuous modus operandi, and he doesn't understand how humiliating his assinine posts are. It's shocking really.

    I believe 100% that extra-terrestrial beings led by Yahowah once took and held humans on earth as Their slaves. It is very likely that They manipulated hominid dna to create modern man. I do believe your God is/was real. However, He lied about His abilities and His origin. While Their technology was quite advanced compared to humans from that era, They obviously did not create the universe, as Yahowah claimed. He was just another lifeform Who took advantage of primitive man and foolishly documented His exploits which survive today in the hands of NOT SO primitive man.

    I find it absurd that any humans would continue to worship these invading extra-terrestrials and don't have enough self respect to stand up for their homeplanet. Luckily, our technology is sufficient now that, should Yahowah return, His followers would never believe that it is really Him, and will willingly participate in the effort to turn back His invasion.

    That is indeed an interesting belief, however, just like the conventional beliefs of Christians and some other theists, it is rather difficult to prove a belief when you are forced by the inadequacy of human intellect and the derived language of human intellect, that such a belief is true as regarding all of mankind.

    Well, there is no doubt that it is 'absurd' in your mind. Let me ask you a simple question: What do you base your beliefs on? What evidence do you have of extraterrestrials and of the belief that human dna was provided by those extraterrestrials?

    But those 'asinine' posts are seemingly enough to keep you and your ilk befuddled and unable to refute the posts.

    God is an extra-terrestrial regardless of what your specific beliefs about Him are. Anything that didn't come from Earth is extra-terrestrial.

    The Bible, along with many other ancient texts, explicitly states that the extra-terrestrials created man in Their own image about 6000 years ago. I don't believe the people who wrote those texts were liars. They were ignorant about many things, certainly, but I don't think they would lie about something like that.

    I dunno. There is no mention of Their travel technology since They wanted us to believe that They simply "existed everywhere." Any revelation about space travel would have undermined Their efforts to convince us of Their omnipotence.

    The problem with space travel is that distance equals time. There's also the fact that an interstellar vehicle would have to be 100% reliable and impervious to wear and tear. On top of that the home world society that launched it (if more than one vehicle) would have to be extremely rich and stable. They would also have to know exactly where they are going and what they will find when they get there. Interstellar travel is completely different than zooming around your own solar system.

    Do you suppose he was buddy-buddy with the other gods of other cultures, or were they competing groups scrapping over us? Maybe organising war-games with our ancestors as the pawns?

    As far as time goes, I understand that if you get very near light speed, you can travel across the universe in what will feel like a relatively brief time to you, but time will be zooming by for everyone else. Thus, you could survive the trip, but you'd leave everybody and everything you knew long behind in the ancient past while you went, and of course you'd arrive at your destination far in the future of when you started out for that destination.

    So, the big trick here is beating Relativity. Can't imagine that happening, though.

    Clearly, Their society focused its resources on developing technology for interstellar travel, whereas human technology has always been devoted to building destructive weapons.

    I can't wait for those SOBs to show Their faces around here again.

    Are you drawing a distinction between supernatural and extraterrestrial? I hope so. Supernatural is beyond what we know as 'natural' or pertaining to nature. Whereas something that is extraterrestrial is not raised to the level of supernatural. My point is this. IF God is supernatural then He is also not extraterrestrial. . . Again, your attempts at saying that God is an extraterrestrial is requiring proof of claim....

    Also, show where the Bible says that extraterrestrials created the earth.
