Sad, but it would appear by the pack mentality that exists here that "Having fun" with people is a popular past time here. It would also appear that quite a few of you are more than familiar with evasive tactics, "Booty-Style" would be a decided regression.

Why the fear?

Booty-style reply: why do you think I'm afraid?

can you please tell me what your meaning of pack mentality is. mine might differ from yours. but in your definition you have to define the words you defined it with. and so on. actually, it might be easier if you try to convey your thoughts using only the five senses. but then we'd have to be in close proximity. nevermind.

Please defend your statement that humans chose to suffer. Please explain how this applies to victims of rape, famine, child abuse, disease.

If you do not know, simply say so. But do not make such statements if you are not prepared (or able) to defend them.

Why the coy questions? The condescension? The failure to get to any point? The avoidance of our questions? The assumption that we fear, when you claim to want to learn from us?

Then let's establish a common tongue

Faith: believing that something is true because you wish it to be true.

Any problem with that definition? I have never seen anything to contradict it.

Excellent definition, now when you start to believe, we will start to develop a common tongue based on our mutually shared cultural base.

Heh. I love it when a Christian calls me a pack mentality kind of guy!

Booty wants to sell you a carton of something. He won't explain what's in it until you buy.

Good idea. You go away, and we'll call you back when we become believers. Then you can return and continue the discussion from the mutually shared base.

ROFL!

he is really good. I think he's avoided this particular question at least 10 times. that's got to be some kind of record.
