I have Jean Claude Van Dammed that “Beast from Brussels” story a few times. Once we learn to think critically rather than to think magically we can almost “know” that a story is false. Not all swans are white so it can pay dividend to look for black ones. Michael, you now say the story is preposterous but for how long have you believed it to be true? How long have you believed that you can communicate with the Creator of the Universe? Do you think it likely that the “true” followers of Jesus will become immortal?
i was never aware of the full story. I thought that it was a statement of fact that a computer in Brussels was called the beast. I was never aware of the fantastic details that followed the story. As such, I had no reason to question it. Certainly the full story is preposterous. There is a laundry list of preposterous ideas in mainstream Christian eschatological literature. I encountered 40 years worth of it.
Talking snakes and transubstantiation are from Roman Christianity and non – biblical The assumption of the Virgin and mariology are also Roman and the bases for the belief in the false apparition. The virgin birth and the talking serpent are biblical and can be questioned by nonbelievers.

There are apologist refutations in same wiki article, but in regard to Tyre, relative to the original island state, it was completely destroyed and the island no longer exists as such. The land got absorbed and a redistricted area is named Tyre built on ruins which are not from the original island city state.
Come on man! Lets learn something. EVANGELIZE! Give your world view. You have as yet done nothing (from my perspective) to separate yourself from the theistic pack. You say you have high iq…you say you have devoted a significant portion of your life to this endeavor. Convince us. Give anything at all that is probative or makes us reconsider or wonder.
I don’t heal the sick, cleanse the leper nor raise the dead, so I don’t have the signs of his true body. I financed trips to Jerusalem and Alasehir ,Turkey
looking for the remnant that works wonders, without which there are no sign of them that believe. I went to Solomon’s Portico every day and had someone canvas Alasehir to receive the second birth that Christ spoke of. To receive the comforter that will dwell with me forever. Roman appears to have martyred the entire body for the assemblies in Asia Minor and Jerusalem don’t appear to exist anymore. However we are inundated with offshoots from the Roman Church who haven’t fallen very far from tree and are Babylon-ish. With every thing from Church steeple (obelisks as at the Vatican for the defied Nimrod), crosses for the god Tammuz, Mitered hats for the fish god Dagan, Christmas holidays (winter solstice observance, Sunday worship, window clerestory, the Trinity, praying to Roman saints, worshiping Mary, the Babylonian Goddess Isthar Astarte repackaged, incense, statuary etc. The promulgation of the Lie and it’s imposition by the sword with its martyrdoms is my greatest evidence that true body once existed in much greater numbers.
