Start making sense. That'd be a good start.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

What can I say? Learning to laugh at stupidity makes living in Texas a lot easier. Wink

You must laugh a lot!

From what I keep reading there's a LOT of stupid in Texas.

Luckily there are plenty of smart people, too.

Given all of the appeals to the authority of his/her parents, it appears possible that this one could simply be indoctrinated.

However the cause of sin is that he gave us all the greatest gift, free will.
Let me just stop you there. One little fact for you: free will doesn't exist. Your whole argument seems to be based off of free will, but it doesn't exist. I'm sorry.

Let me use the example of rolling a dice. The outcome of the roll depends ENTIRELY on the way you throw it, the gravity, the aerodynamics, etc. Please come up with a new argument as this one is now void.

I've let Jesus back into my heart.

Being a minister is not a warrant against being crazy.

I believe that your mum said she saw an angel. My neighbour's 8 year old son says he's a pirate.
