King Rat

Hmmm, I'll see if I can spell it out for you...

Your interpretation of my post was completely different from it's original intent. It was, however incorrect, a plausible interpretation. You decided to interpret my post in a light that shone positively on you, instead of negatively. This made me wonder how often you do the same thing when reading your holy texts. I would imagine that if you suspend reason long enough, you could talk yourself into accepting anything.

May God bless you with all the love you deserve, I mean that with all the faith I have in my heart.

Why King Rat I do not know what you go on about. I am only a meager apologist, amateur at best, with a penchant for bad spelling errors...Of course I am a positive person. I am a Christian. What do you expect: someone full of negatively and gloom. I will look at your post in the most brightest light. I also take your final comment in all sincerity because I know you have faith even if that faith is misplaced.

May God give increase your wisdom and let you experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.

King Rat

Wow! I didn't think you'd bend over so far to prove my point for me. It looks like you used spell check too, although you missed a couple. i.e. you used negatively instead of negativity.

You should have taken my last comment sincerely, that is how I meant it.

This one too:

May God bless you with spelling ability commensurate with your reasoning ability.

Well why the complaint? I think you have been an atheist way to long. You see enemies when there isn't any.

Gosh thanks...I have been told by quite a few people that I am very smart. I don't see it. The spelling improvement I deffinitely could use whether I have the aide of spell check.

King Rat are you still here?

p.s. Grammer and spelling seem to be fine on this one.

Can't... resist... It's spelt 'Grammar'. Oh, and there probably should have been a comma after 'King Rat'.

For those who want to read about non-mystical explanations for music here are two articles to read:

The Genetic Mystery of Music - Does a mother's lullaby give an infant a better chance for survival?

Music of the Hemispheres - Why can a toddler sing? Why is even the most ordinary human brain a library of melodies?

As far as love goes, I haven't got any links for articles about it, but I think it involves a signal that the brain seeks (i.e. it desires it) that occurs when we experience a connectedness (a sense of belonging or attachment) with someone or something...

HD, what the hell are you talking about? My complaint about your reading comprehension is only reinforced by your last post.

You still infer only what you wish.
You still cannot spell.
You are barely a challenge, let alone an enemy.
You still have no data to support your position.
You still cannot prove one of the basic tenets of your belief.
You have balked at two opportunities to save souls.
Your fifth proposition is still nonsensical.
You cannot prove that music is a gift from god.
You cannot prove that love is a gift from god.
You still have only a passing acquaintance with logic.
You cannot resist witnessing.

Why do you continue to post claptrap? Do you truly believe that you can sway people who highly value logic and data with neither logic nor data? Can't you see the futility? I and others have told you exactly what we require in order to believe your mythologies. Continuing to witness after your failure to provide data supporting your position makes you look like an imbecile.

King rat,

I truly love your post. I might just agree with every single point you have made but then what you need to believe has more to do with a supernatural intervention than logic filled explanation. Ever heard the song 'How great Thou art?' God certainly can cross any barrier and of course I still must post to you. I have not given up on that.

BTW you gave me the best compliment in the world. I am truly NOT an enemy.

King Rat

Excellent.

You pretty much would have to agree, if you have any conception of honesty at all.

Maybe, how about trying a more prosaic example then? Hmmm, wait there is no prosaic way for your god to prove himself to me. All of the ways I can think of would require a supernatural intervention that you seem to imply isn't possible. I guess it is too much of a conundrum for an omnipotent god to solve, pity...

Ever heard of the song Voodoo Chile? Jimi Hendrix can stand next to a mountain and chop it down with the edge of his hand. Certainly, Jimi Hendrix can cross any barrier.

Of course you must. If the strength of your faith is not enough to convert me, something must be wrong with your faith. To give up is to admit that you and your god are not up to the task. And this brings us right back to another opportunity for you to write a new Hallmark card post. It's all a beautiful circle...

Where would such a polarized position originate? Certainly not with me.
