Holy crap... 120+ reps by age 6. You're a prodigy.

It'll come as quite the shock to Chad, who only pitches his arguments at that level because nobody over that age can read them with a straight face.

A proper reply to your request will take some time to craft. Before I go to all that effort and reply are you seriously interested in what might say and give it fair consideration?

I'll try my very best. If you once mention anything from mythology, or make similar appeals to unverifiable assertions, and if nothing you say supports what you're trying to claim and is as simple and compelling as finding a stone in my shoe, the jig is up. I'm not in the market for buying a bridge, however pretty you may tell me it is.

However, if your evidence passes all that - and it's not exactly unreasonable - and is at the very least convincing to you, go for it. I'm all ears.

True also. After all, how can these murderers expect to keep up with the latest hotspot killing grounds if they're only using dial-up?

And what have we learned?

Make appeasement to me in the form of human sacrifice and if it pleases me, I increase your Internet speed. The figures prove it - what can't speak, can't lie.

Though I'm afraid I'll have to substitute a fruit fly. Jesus doesn't seem to have asked any sacrifices other than telling the rich kid to sell all his possessions and get on the flower power bus...

That loser. No wonder his dad kicked him out.

And the whole thing of loving Jesus more than your own family.

Hate to break it to you there is no god.

if god does anything to mess with the world or even showed the slightest bit of his power it would
mess with the laws of physics because this is a being with infinite power of course. But he never has
and there would be some sort of prints left on time space left from him and again nothing. No god
its all made up lets move on and go to Denny's tabs on you.

Almost. But not quite.

Reading more carefully, we find "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:37). So, what if you love Jesus and family equally?
