Jews stole the land. The owners want it back. That is all anyone needs to know about Israel. That is all there is to know about Israel.

Even tho it's mumbo jumbo gobbledigook, I think you missed what the fools were saying.
1. cor. 15:13 If there is no resuurection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And IF christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
IN 15:29 the key word is "for" the dead, not "of" the dead.
So i gather the message to be- IF you don't believe in the resurection, then your baptism is for nothing and is meaningless without Christ. ( or something along those lines of monkey-shit)
"...but truth is a point of view, and so it is changeable. And to rule by fettering the mind through fear of punishment in another world is just as base as to use force." -Hypatia
Yes, that is the most common rationalization for why the words cannot mean what they say.
As Groucho put it, are you going to believe me or your own lying eyes?
