What is their to chew? I provided legitmate reference material defining the word in question. You provided an endless supply of conjecture and commentary from such crediable sources as wiki, and yahoo answers. I stopped that conversation with you for one reason. I am not here to force anyone out of their current line of thought. My purpose here is to provide clarity and answers for those who seek it. It is obvious that you are dug in like a tick and have decided to hold fast to your current understandings, and have closed your mind to every thing that does not agree with what you already believe. Why? See my last post on death bed confessions. You need you arguement to work so as to have an out or some sence of hope for your current plan (just incase Christians are right) Again, Who am I to force it from you? So just because i let something go, doesn't mean I have nothing else to say. (It's an honor thing) I have made a declaration of intent and chose to stand by it rather than, satisfy my pride by arguing out of your position. You have enough of the facts to make a responsible decision on whether or not to change your mind.
In the end simply tell yourself what does it matter if God does not exist anyway??? The only reason it would is if the bible is right. So I challenge you to argue your conviction here.
