Mr. Dritch,
I'm sorry if I persist on a matter you feel satisfied. It is likely my ignorance in the matters of the bible and Christianity. Or I equally apologize if I've simply equated your absents to my question with your already abundant time consumption. But I'm afraid, once more deeply sorry for your time, I've not understood.
Are the methods by you which you teach, instruct, the same as those used, employed, by Christ in the bible?
Again sorry for my misunderstanding. I only seek understanding from you.

Now be afraid. Be very afraid.

Of a chimp shagging a horse while beating it over the head with an automatic rifle?
Actually that is pretty intimidating.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Don't apologize to Drippy...he'll take it as a sign of weakness. If you think he is insufferable now that would only make him worse.

I've asked a sincere question and I think he (Drich) has the integrity to provide me with a sincere answer. I'm happy to ask again if my question was miss understood the first time.
I should not place the burden of doubt on him understanding my question. Rather I should strive to make it more clear so he can better answer it. i'm sure he will in due time.
I thank you both for your advice and concern.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Tell you what mate, he hasn't.
Let's let him decide that. Benefit of the doubt.

His track record doesn't leave much doubt.
