Kind of like "Manos the Hands of Fate". It's boring AND a horror story. And it's badly written. And it contains badly thought out characters with strange motives. And it's impossible to sit through.

All it will take is for someone to set someone else on fire for not liking it, and people would go to church on Sunday to worship it.

That doesn't answer the question I asked.

I am telling you you are mistaken as someone who was specially commissioned by God by signs and miracles, revealing to me that I have a specific ministry to a group of people and based on the knowledge of the scriptures that God has supernaturally revealed to me, I swear before God that I am not lying and that I am in good psychological health and my perception of the absolute certainty and clarity with which I have this knowledge could not possibly be colored by anything else besides the personal commission of God to share the revelations that I have received.

You can make fun of that all you want, but it won't change the fact that I know it is true and I know you are guessing about something that you don't understand.

If you were honest, you would take my testimony seriously as you have no reason and no evidence that I am lying, but I don't think you are honest at heart, I think you would rather mock religion than get to the truth and I don't think you care whether what I am saying is true.

But if you are honest, you will investigate it on its own terms. If you don't care, then you won't know.

Seriously, my neighbor just warned me that she'd call the cops if I didn't stop laughing so hard. Is that your master plan!??

Just curious, what would evidence that you are lying look like? (That is not to say I don't have reason to believe you are lying mistaken)

You could give an example of the 700 or so posts that I have made where you can prove that I made a mistake to such a large degree that given the things I seem to know about it would seem like I just made it up. You won't be able to find anything.

What sort of motivation does someone have to make something up?

Funny, you're especially (he asked me to fix your misuse of specially) invited to suck my dick. Not that I wouldn't enjoy it, but God told me you have to suck my dick. My Christian wife initially had a problem with you sucking my dick; however, when I told her that God said it was to be so...no fucking problem. In fact, she is now a camera toting participant.

God said you have to suck my dick, and so you must.

What? You say God doesn't want you to suck my dick? Are you sure? Can you be certain? Your eternal soul is at stake. If you suck my dick, you get to enjoy an eternity of joy. Not fair? I don't make the rules.

Are you fucking stupid? Laying claim to 700 excrement laden posts just leaves you with a big pile of shit.

Just once, try to prove yourself with quality...not quantity.

What signs and what miracles?

The personal kind that cannot ever be scientifically verified, and usually are just a combination of more-likely-than-you-think coincidences and wishful thinking. Just like all other signs and miracles...

OK, I am a Christian and I reject Jesus as my savior, Jesus was a man and NOT God and human sacrifice is pagan.
Am I going to Hades or Tartarus? For an age-lasting period of time?

To suggest that you made it up would attribute to you originality you do not display. Someone else made all that shit up and you're just an obnoxious parrot.
