So I'm not the only one who noticed that. Do you think it was intentional, or an error on Adams' part?

Given that the letters ran out after that, and more were expected, I'd say it was intentional.

Wow, I'm not chosen by a non-existent god, and I don't comprehend things of the non-existent spirit. Woot. Thanks for telling me that.

The Bible says that one is saved by Faith in Jesus.

Or is it works, or is baptism in there too, or following the law, or selling your goods and giving to the poor, or...

Faith is hope in things not seen.

Since you (atheists) can not sense it with one of your HUMAN senses, things of the spirit are not real to you. So Sad.

So, you need some kind of non-human sense to sense spirit? Just what is that sense? Is that what John Edward has? Oh, wait; you probably think he's a fake.

It is only the testimony of others that can lead one to God. Yes lead.

That's how the Jesus Meme works; you catch it like a virus from a carrier. Inoculate yourselves while you have time! That thing's deadlier and more pernicious than SARS!

"The missionaries go forth to Christianize the savages-- as if the savages weren't dangerous enough already."

Even those who are chosen must be led.

Yeah, cuz god wants you to be a sheep. After your brain's turned to mush, someone will have to lead you around - and demand 10% of your income for his services.

For how would they know they were chosen if they were not led to God? This is the purpose of God's people, to lead others to him.

Much like those zombies in Night of the Living Dead, they're after your brains. Turn you right into zombies just like them.

The Scripture says "all are called, but few will follow". This is the best example of what is free will and predestination. Another way to say it is "all are chosen, but few will chose".

Many people, fortunately, just aren't that gullible. But since there's some 2 billion Christians in the world today, this statement of Jesus' seems a bit odd...

There is at least one person who this message is meant for, otherwise I would not be writing it.

Oh, I think you'd be typing it anyway. That Jesus virus has your brain locked up.

Yes, I know. Sounds like a spooky Christian trick, huh?

No, it sounds like the same tired old Xian preaching we get all the time around here.

[b]Well it is. It's a trick on the ruler of this earth!

I hate to tell you this, but Satan can read. Your secret's out! Your trick's bound to fail now, 'ole Nick is onto you.

If you have felt a tug on your heart, this message is for you....

If you have a spark in your brain, you'll ignore it.

Thats my final answer.

Answer to what? What was the question?

Does this person enjoy candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach, too?

I thought I felt a tug, but it turned out to be a rowboat instead.

And here is my response to you Tarnaak. I've just edited your remarks to fit my perspective.
