You can't even figure out how you're abusing the term digital yet you want us to take everything you say at face value. Fuck that!

Are you ever going to actually reply to any of the posts I've made beyond your one lame answer?

Some of these peoples "religious views" are quite comical.

I;m sure you could...but why Quick...why....lol?

I get that you're not here fishing for men, like our boy CDF (and I appreciate that, btw)...I just don;t know that what you just communicated about your beliefs was instructive. 

I bet there;s a better way to communicate whatever it is you're trying to say.

I get that a lot :p

Yeah, I can;t for the life of me understand why people saddle their religions with this sort of shit.  It can;t help...it can only hurt.  It;s high maintenance. I guess it might seem like a good idea..in the bubble of belief, but that comes off to me as remarkably short sighted.

What happens when a persons belief system is so intimately connected with a given bit of psuedo-science, that it being discredited creates an existential threat to the faith position?  I'd say our new friend CDF is what happens.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It;s not...but why would it matter if it were?

It is true and it has great theological implications.

It;s not, and it has none.

Would you like to know more?

I can't respond to all the posts here.  It is digital.  It is a 4 digit digital code (not binary 0s and 1s).  Digital does not always mean binary.  Research Google for this.

You are still trying to argue that that which is not rational has no basis in reality. I don't believe this as you do.

I was actually responding to your comment about the silliness of some peoples religious beliefs...but...no, I;m not making any argument to that effect, at all.

I noted that -I- couldn;t believe what you believe based on your description of it, and, ofc, what that description lacked.  It;s not really a choice I make.

Have fun with this chew toy, guys. His willful ignorance and his refusal to actually engage with anyone is too much.
