Jesus (who's obviously in a class all by himself) is the number one person of all time!

[/ QUOTE ]


That may not be so obvious to a lot of other people

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure it is. Either he's the greatest man of all time, or he's the greatest scam artist of all time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hardly a scam with a line of prophets spanning 1500 years promising he'd come and saying what he'd do before he got here.

[/ QUOTE ]

I nominate Splendour and a few other people on here as either the greatest trolls of all time, or the most insane people of all time.

He flew up in the skies right? Do you realize that he still isn't out of the galaxy yet (traveling at the speed of light)?

An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

I actually never bait anyone. I may be controversial, but I am usually just giving a diametrically opposed view to the vocal majority on this forum. When the name calling commences its not me doing the name calling. I guess I speak more boldly and that's bound to elicit a stronger response.

If posting scripture is considered "outrageous" I find that interesting. Scripture has been around for a couple of thousand years so how is it an outrageous message? It's certainly not a new message unless someone has failed to examine it thoroughly.

Yeah leave splendour alone if it wasn't for him we wouldn't talk about christianity in 99.9% of threads here and instead we'd be blabbing about the details of science or real philosophy or even math.

I was thinking about this the other day. I think Einstein in 1905 had the single greatest year in human history hands down. I have no idea what/who/when number 2 is.

Gandhi had a fantastic season once. Helped drive out a superpower and led the league in home runs.

We're talking greatest person, not an overrated, irrelevant philosopher.
