I remember that whenever I find I've said all that I feel is necessary to say and the ignorant are none the better for it. I feel like that's where I am right now and I'm just having fun, not arguing with anyone.
Why did you quote this statement about Pat Robertson?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I thought it rather obvious, but here goes the thesis.
It was just a 'tongue-in-cheek' response to the 'tongue-in-cheek' response you had made. As my recollection of Pat Robertson is, shall we say, not fond? Your 'tongue-in-cheek' was, I assumed, jestly suggesting that you and Stimbo had sunk down to the level of the evangelist.

Oh, I c.
Well as I just told Stim, it's time for me to rest my cranium in bed. I am too slow to catch the obvious tonight.

Could be a variety of reasons. Maybe bacterial contamination. Maybe radiation in the geology in which the reserve is found. The C14 levels range from close to 1% (like it was deposited yesterday) down to expected levels.
Expected levels are zero.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Does this happen happen all the time. What's left not much, mostly prophecies about Israel and the tribulation. Of coarse the one Christians look forward to the most, the return of our glorious Savior, Jesus Christ.
GC And you call this bloodbath fulfillment of prophecy? I guess after 2,000 years those Jewish proselytes got tired of waiting for divine intervention and created their own fulfillment. It doesn't take a miracle to kill people but it does take a god to make people so bloodthirsty.
You call a people defending their country a blood bath, then the world as a whole is guilty. The real blood bath occurred during WWII, but then I guess you don't care about God's people unless you can condemn God through them. So who is it that has a real blood thirst.

I care very much about what you call god's people, since WWII is the reason why I don't have any extended family. It's only that most of the ones killed by Hitler, at least from my family, didn't give a single shit about being God's people. They simply were jews. And it doesn't keep me from ciritcizing rightwing turds likle Netanjahu without hating Israel.

I won't speak for everyone, but I think most here will agree that theists like yourself are welcome here with open arms and I personally wish more like you would show up in place of some of the ass-hats.
