No, you don't. That comment was not made to make you feel the way you did...it is just truth. Would you be "wasting" time on me if I didn't act like I wanted to know about your religon? Yes, you would. Next time you take something someone wrote, include the rest of it. I clearly stated that it is your right to believe what you believe. You are trying to make me out like I am putting you down, and that is NOT what I was doing.

You can talk talk talk until the return of Jesus, and it won't change anything. I know what you are saying, and I do believe. I know that scripture is turned around...and yes some preachers do it as well. Until someone has that relationship with God or wants to know about God, the Bible will make no sense whatsoever...1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man (unsaved man...read the bible and you will see that is what the natural man it) does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolish to him; nor can he know them because he is spiritually discerened." Ron, teach those that want to be taught. Don't waste time on people who don't want to know or understand the Word....no offense to any person who doesn't believe. That is your right. Not my way, but it's not my life.

Ron,

Really, your book of fables is so inherently abusable. That and the atrocities it has caused negates whatever message it gives. The playbook ain't workin' right? Toss it, or REVISE it, I say.

Ron, learn your ABCs:

An atheist is a person who does not believe in a god.
Babies do not believe in a god.
Consequently, babies are atheists.

Oh, I like that, Uberkuh. I need to remember that one.

Ron’s a raving fool. He’s clearly only interested in trying to irritate people, and he doesn’t even make good arguments. I’m not interested in playing with him.
