How many atheists would do theology studies?

I actually think it would be quite interesting, but from a religious philosophy perspective (also imagine the argument material )

 

[katie tully]

Yea for sure, but learning any crylic langauge

But hey, the Jehova's Witnesses never bothered learning languages. I read the other day that their original 'translation' team for the New World Translation of the Bible (1961 lol), consisted of only one member who knew another langauge (Hebrew) and only self taught...

I mentioned this yesterday when they came door knocking, was quite funny.

hahahaha yeah.

i critiqued someone earlier today for implying no intelligent people are Christians, in regard to JWs however, one could be forgiven for suggesting that it doesn't take much looking into to see that most of the main doctrines of JW (and indeed the way they were created) are just not intellectually defensible

nah i know an athiest who has read the entire Bible and Qu'ran, and now he's doing a masters in theology. he's never really given me a conclusive answer as to why he does it all.. but he must find it interesting, i mean he's sacrificed nearly a decade of his life to it.

I actually think academic studies of ALL religions would be a motivating factor in strengthening atheism. Given that it would present such detailed accounts of all major religions, the conflicting views as to who is right or wrong, the implications if one is right and the other is not, philosophy of religion (and critique, unless you were a dog and didn't elect it!) etc

These reasons alone influence my own personal reasoning.

It's quite specific when Ezekiel says tyre would never be rebuilt.

And yet, here stands modern development on the exact site of the old city

?

The tyre you are refering to is modern tyre. the one the prophecy speaks about was the tyre located on the island off the coast of modern tyre. Wich according to the prophecy no longer exists. If you read it carefully this is quite clear.

The link I posted addresses this quite clearly

Over the course of the last two and a half thousand years the coastline has changed slightly, so that the island is now connected to the mainland. As you can see, the (ex)island site and mainland parts are heavily built up.

Ezekiel said that Tyre would never be rebuilt and would never be found. Can you find a city in the picture? Did Ezekiel's prophecy come true, even if we grant that he was really talking about Alexander the Great when he mentioned Nebuchadnezzar.

The Encyclopedia Britannica says 'Excavations have uncovered remains of the Greco-Roman, Crusader, Arab, and Byzantine civilizations, but most of the remains of the Phoenician period lie beneath the present town'

So the present town was built on the remains of the Phoenician town.

The Tourism in Lebanon page states ' Near the market you will see a busy fisherman's port, in Phoenician times referred to as the "Sidonian" port because it faced north towards Sidon' and 'The walk to Area Three takes you through a residential part of Tyre called Hay Er-Raml or the Quarter of Sand. You are in fact walking on what once was Alexander the Great's causeway.'

So the port is in the same place as the ancient port and a residential part of Tyre is built right on the scene of the fighting.
