Literally everyone believed that, dipshit.
Just because you don't personally believe it now doesn't mean hundreds of generations before are in agreement with you.
There is no possible strawman, you fucking chode. Strawman, defined as an intentionally misrepresented proposition set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's actual argument.
I'm saying those who worship the being as god should care what his fucking name is.
Seems respectful, no?
On that topic, since no one believes in the Mary and Luke and Peter monikers, what are the apostles names?
The entirety of my point was that it seems disrespectful of an adherent to use a nickname for a being whose actual name was known.
Call your Horus analog whatever you please... I've heard he's a pretty forgiving guy.
He has many names and titles. I just don't see why I should refer to him in anything other than my lengua materna.
Was just talking to a spanish speaking couple. They thought the author of the book that comes after "Hebrews" in the NT is "Santiago." And that's fine, it's a tradition. Like us calling him James. But the Greek (iakobos) would be better transliterated as Jacob.
Your straw man (cope harder) assumes that people don't realize English came about much later??
This is the problem with you people, there is no definable strawman argument occurring. There is no cope, it is not a relevant assertion. You can disagree, you can take issue with the position. But you're choosing to be an asshole. The fact is, 2000 years of fanfic and apocryphal narrative have given you more of your names and titles than canonical scripture. Call your god whatever you want, if they take issue with any particular aspect of the practice they've demanded and generation after generation has modified to comfort - then you will be made aware of it at the appointed hour. Until then, there isn't a single fucking syllable you can utter that changes that reality. Just as there is nothing that can be said to you to convince you that anything but your subjective opinion of the desires of the divine are gospel truth. So fuck it, call your dude whatever you please. But drop the rhetorical faggotry. Search 'logical fallacies' and pick up a couple new words. You can only get so many miles out of strawman. Go in peace to love and serve your personal narrative.
Praise KEK.
canonical scripture
See that's the thing. I know it, and you don't. You sling mud and pat yourself on the back, but I'm the asshole?
Just say you don't believe the scripture was faithful preserved for these years. Believe that there is a substantial textural variant anywhere in the NT... seriously, which major pillar of Christian doctrine is not clear in the consensus text? Any from, say, the Nicene creed that you don't think are supported by the manuscripts?
Fact is you just put all your hate in the cannon, aim it as some jerk like me and conclude that your deeply-held belief that God doesn't exist must be true.
