Um, kyurious, do you even know what a forced loan is? Do you understand who's "lending" to who here?

People swore that the Oracle of Delphi was accurate, too. Are we now supposed to believe in Apollo?

You got that part right.

I have sought him. I haven't found him. Quite the opposite. I am not offended at him--that would seem just crazy to me. How can I be offended at a God who does not exist? And I am familiar with the history of the Jews. I do not see signs of God capturing my attention through it.
