and let me, before i am corrected say that actually, on second thought green and orange do not make black.

as for your flag alusion, i'm quite certain that because your flag says so, green is not the opposite of of orange. so the challenge still stands.

and while we're on the subject, could god rhyme something with orange?

edited to add... or vacuum?

Oh I know we will not agree on issues of theology, nor doctrine, nor dogma. And I do truly apologize for my ignorance. When I studied about the Faithful, I always was under the impression that it was the same God.

Thank you for the offer, but as you appear to be comfotable with Mohammed, I am more than comfortable, you might even say ecstatic, with my quite divine Christ.

What makes your religion right and others wrong anyway? It's certainly not by way of overwhelming evidence.

Do jews go to hell?

Therefore, by Booty's own argument (proof by Irish flag??) God is the opposite of something that exists, ergo, God does not exist.

Perhaps you might consider skipping the writing and head straight to bed. Your acuity appears to be deminishing.

Sleep well and God bless.

This is a gaming site? One of those web casinos? Perhaps I should leave then? It's all about winning and losing is it?

You say he is omni this and omni that when all along all he is is omni-incompetant. If I had all those omnis, i could work wonders with this universe. but then maybe His definition of omni is quite different then mine...

So there's that agnosticism again. In order to know him, you must believe. In order to believe you must realize that you cannot know him.

You know I am trying to keep you all straight. There is the sceptical lady who cannot determine if an athiest is going to Hell. There's the leader of the pack that flies by doing touch and goes on the runway to the admiration of her fans. There is the confused young philosopher who really should be writing but appears far too tired to be coherent. There is the polite gentleman who is not afraid to actually discuss issues without flaming and wisecracks. And so on, will fill in the rest as I grow to know you.

Now perhaps you might do the same with me and differentiate me from other Christians. That way you might be able to cease assigning sayings to me that I defy you to point to the post where I entered them. Or have you just developed a set script that you have rehearsed so whenever a new Christian appears you just start performing?

Looking for you? Better things to do.

It doesn't surprise me that you dislike thinking.

<strong>I might say drop me a postcard, but actually I believe I would be too busy to read it. Oh well, you probably will be too busy to send it as well.</strong>

And there is the little matter of the language barrier.

<strong>So you are the Leader of the Pack here?</strong>

What Pack?

<strong>Is it an edifying role? Does it fulfill your inner needs?</strong>

Why, are you volunteering? Is that a come-on line?

Certainly, you do not have to go.

ok booty. quick yes or no question to get us on the same page.

Is your god omnipotent?
Is your god omnibenevolent?
Did your god create hell?
Is loving him a requirement of staying out of hell?
