I don't assume to know what people are thinking, no.

You should also assume no one takes you seriously in your sniveling and twisting of words you're too much of a weasel to stand behind.

But keep setting the bar low and slithering under it, by all means.

I never said you did, but it's obvious that you made an observation, then you acted upon it. How's that little corner that you continue to back into?

I'm actually glad to see you're not going to stick to your guns on this; the Bible is a pretty crappy weapon, no matter how much your heart is or isn't into it.

Why no miracles? Because Jesus is dead and Morgan Freeman is too busy taping his science show.

That's not true. God invented the rainbow to remind him not to flood the Earth again. God needs mnemonic devices to jar his memory because he keeps forgetting what the hell he's done.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...B;CJB;NKJV

People knew that God had a lousy memory and that he would forget what the rainbow was about so when they built the Tower of Babel they waterproofed it.

Since rainbows only appear during sunny days after it rains God has to hurry to pull the drain plugs to drain the rising rainwater. Sometimes he's sleeping and people and animals get drowned in the floodwaters. When it floods at night he's none the wiser.

Ah, my mistake. I gave Yahweh more credit than was due.
