Default Off topic digression on spelling split from Heresies

http://onelook.com/?w=heresy+of+mythicism&ls=a

So is that the same as the disambiguation of heretic euhemerism or can we instead assume a diriment of convoluted dysphoria in the contretemps of punic devolution

Wow, quite a sentence. Too bad 4 words were misspelled and that you forgot to use a question mark.

Ted I'm flattered by the attention. "Punic" s/b cap but I can't find any spelling errors so you might elaborate

You're to be congratulated for this remarkable observation but it's a matter of style like when I omit the M. That way before I depart this earthly vale I will have saved—by actual calculation—375,442,017 keystrokes

I was just looking at the spell check..I didn't check the spell check. If it is wrong, I apologize.

Interesting observation and if death should indeed prove to have such a followup I've begun planning what to do with them all

…...noting I omit periods too

But actually the point is well taken. That very real uncertainty might provoke the more intelligent athiests in our midst to consider the possibillity of punishment in the afterlife. After all why take a chance

Everbody takes a chance. If God is the God of Islam (or indeed the God of almost countless other religions), Christians may be toast.

I prefer atheism as a best strategy. That way, I minimize my chances of annoying a God, who may pay more attention to actual opponents and either give me a bye ball or a lesser sentence. :]

Plus, if he's any sort of decent chap, he will accept the point that he gave me a brain to reason with but not enough actual reasons to believe in him.

To say nothing of many Muslims

Indeed, it's something like global warming where the left (green, blue) is terribly concerned but the Right (red?) insists it's all myth. One chooses sides I guess but She is probably much more tolerant of athiests and varying concepts surrounding Her existence wherseas if the Right is wrong about the weather Mankind is doomed

So why take a chance
