His point was that the bible would stand in court. That is sheer idiocy. I'm not sure which part of this we are not understanding each other.
I am not going to go there but I agree the Bible or any other book/religion could never make the cut in court.

This needs a new thread but if you believe the bible can be discredited then  why do you believe it's 100% true. To me the logic doesn't flow, it's as if you're saying I believe 100% in something that isn't 100% true.

If it were to be proven wrong hypothetically, why would you continue believing its true?
seriously? ever heard of "makom hinichu" it wouldn't be emunah if it was so pashut

Sorry "makom hinichu" only means that the Torah can't be proven right, it does NOT mean that it can be proven wrong.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Like what Moko said. It would need to be proven 100% to be evidence in court, and that is contrary to having free will.If it could be proven 100%.

I am not going to go there but I agree the Bible or any other book/religion could never make the cut in court.
Aha, so we do agree. You were just trying to make.trouble :P

why would the secret service help the Satmar Rabbi?
It's possible the Israeli's don't know the difference between the different law enforcement agencies in the US. I hope to get the Blatt today to read their account.

I read the Blatt, and had the same question. I would say either this story is a "dimyon" or it was the NYPD. The Secret Service does not protect rabbis.

I can assure you this story is not true...
I know Mr. Greenberg, and he's a well known
day dreamer... And Der Blaat has always been
looking out for sensational news...
