Rhythm,


I agree some people do believe silly things.

Will you use my words precisely to try to prove what you said about them ?

Your words were shit, frankly, and there's no reason for me to repeat them.  I'll trust that you're smart enough to know what a non-sequitur is, or copy paste it into google yourself if you don't.
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!

Rhythm,



I don't mean this in a smug way and you may want to be smug towards me but remember you may think if you did that you may be compared to being a car hitting a mountain at 100mph and smashing to pieces.  You may think I asked you to try to prove precisely and that you have failed.

True godly " free will" is having the ability to make a choice or the ability to do something that totally surprises god.

You may think that...but it would be as silly as the last thing you may have thought....and for exactly the same reason. If you want to talk to me, talk -to- me, not around me....or the subject.

Rhythm,

__You may think that...but it would be as silly as the last thing you may have thought....and for exactly the same reason.--

There's no smugness in this.

Do you spend all day telling yourself how great you are or after you've done something cool, you can't stop yourself from thinking wow I'm wonderful people will really love me ?

RE: Free will
From my own personal perspective, I appear to have a certain freedom to align my will as I so desire. Thus, it is my experience that free will, or the freedom to express individual will, does exist.

I don't know about god(s), but that doesn't concern me, because I live on Earth, not in the ether of some god's imagination. If it turns out that I do in fact exist in some god's imagination, then that god has written code which permits me to operate with a free will, or at least the code is written to obscure the fact that I don't have free will.

Nope.  Why, would that rescue your comments? 

@ Spirian.  I have that same experience....how accurate do you think it is, and by what metrics?

Do you think I was trying to rescue my comments ? If you did, what makes you think precisely that I needed to ?

RE: Free will
It just keeps talking, lol.  Awesome.  Your comments need to be rescued, because they were non-sequiturs, and you may -not-  be ignorant, and may -not- be trolling us.

It might be said that it's a courtesy to clean up the messes others make, by some.
