The part that interests me of course is the identification on the part of the 'Marcionite' that Jesus died just before the year 6000 (29 x 20 = 5880). Still not sure where you're getting that though. AD. When did he descend to save humankind? MK. As it says in the Gospel: in the reign of Tiberius C...

It's in De Recta in Deum Fide. Will get it soon. I'm interested in this. Because I would assume the Marcionite retort to Tertullian's rhetoric "why did your god wait so long" would be Paul on the "fullness of time" probably interpreted that since with two gods neither is almight...

I think its a pretty good barometer of what's crazy to check if you support it. If archeologists 1000...

Leftists really believe their own narrative about Trump, so they think its history. Even their absurd future predictions are history to them. A thousand years from now if archeologists were to take their texts seriously, they'd think Trump put gays in gas chambers and banned all forms of birth contr...

Wouldn't some text on metaphysics (Aristotle or Plato perhaps) that that visibility is a property of body?

So, our modern expression "pillars of the community" or some similar notion you don't think existed back then?

I wrote a post blowing my top about the inappropriateness of these two terms as used by most people on this forum, which upon reflection I deleted, because I could foresee the banal responses I would get. But fuck it, I will people would just plain stop using the term "fiction" with regar...

Well, ok that is a better example but from your example I can speculate that the reason had to do with the desire to introduce racial diversity - a clear trend in media and society as a whole in the last 20 years. In the cases I've mentioned there is so little information provided about a couple of...
