13,000 cardboard cutouts...

I'm a Weetabix man

'never landing meaningful blows' You failed to competently refute any of my points.

Alternatively they thought it would make a difference but it doesn't apply to them.

The article is utter nonsense. Hardly surprising given it is in the Daily Star.

Any reason why that lost merits a "wow" or is it a secret?

Semmens said the person is currently employed. So the delayed season and delayed transfer window will have an impact.

No .

Why can't you answer the 4 yes or no questions?

An ABC news poll found... - 61% of Americans believe the account of creation in the Bible’s book of Genesis is “literally true” rather than a story meant as a “lesson.” - 60% percent believe in the story of Noah’s ark and a global flood - 64% agree that Moses parted the Red Sea to save fleeing Jews from their Egyptian captors These people are more likely to be Republican voters. Republican voters picked Trump... Trump impacts the world including you and me.

It was him unable to read a 2nd paragraph... not me.

I guess you decided to skip the second paragraph in my post which explain that!

1) Do people pray for others to be healed from cancer? Yes or No 2) Does cancer naturally go into remission? Yes or No 3) Yet do people claim it is the prayer that healed the cancer? Yes or No 4) Has an amputee ever grown a new leg? Yes or No

If Mary from Tennessee runs for Governor or President then her actions based on her illogical beliefs impact others in wider society. It doesn't even need to be her running for office, beliefs impact actions and actions impact society. Collectively a large number of Americans believing Noah's flood literally happened impact on the global community.

Can you explain why I'm wrong about prayer? Apparently it works for cancer (which can go into remission on its own naturally)... but not amputees! Strange that!

You were talking about the pub and barbers to attempt to show that names of places doesn't mean people who go there believe it is literal. That is irrelevant in the case of a pub or barbers. The Noah story has no bearing on a pint or a haircut. However the vast majority of people who go to a museum in a giant Noah's ark that claims the story literally happened would also believe it literally happened.

Lots of Christians think it is literal. That is why they goto the Ark museum which claims the flood literally happened! How do you decide which bits of the Bible are metaphors and which bits aren't? Leaving it to interpretation leads to schisms and wars!

1) Why has prayer never grown a leg back for an amputee yet people claim it has healed them from cancer? 2) Could it be that cancer naturally can go into remission without medical treatment and people are thinking prayer did it? 3) Growing a new leg does not happen in nature for humans and so people cannot claim prayer grew a leg 4) The lack of amputees growing new limbs proves prayer does not work.

That post does not move the goalposts. It is very much on topic of allegory and metaphor. So what is your answer?

How do you decide which bits of the Bible are metaphors and which bits aren't? Leaving it to interpretation leads to schisms and wars! Why would a kind and loving god do that? He sounds inept at getting his message across!

Yet again... another completely flawed comparison. - The name of a barbers or pub is irrelevant to getting a pint or haircut. - Why would a non literal Noah ark believing person want to visit this place...? It is a museum full of claims of the literal flood story! The exhibits claim it literally happened!

This is deeply flawed and irrelevant as The Bible is claimed by many to be the infallible word of god. It is not comparable to a person using such phrases.
