But since you've invoked it, why does your god have so much trouble saying what it means and meaning what it says? I mean I get it, lonely all the way back into eternity, probably doesn't have much practice communicating it's ideas to others, but ffs, throw us a bone! Every time you open your mouth to make an excuse for your god you end up inadvertently making your god look like an even bigger dumbass than he did the moment before.
Perhaps, and I'm just throwing this out there, you should let him go ahead and handle his own excuses? He might be better at it. He doesn't have to get to it today, I can wait. He knows the day of my death so he's got a handle on my availability.
Problem is not with God, it is with the people who pick and choose what they need to create an image of God after their own hearts. For the words are there, and concise. where you all seem to get hung up is in the numbers that denote Chapter and verse. Understand these numbers were not apart of the orginal texts, and the do not denote complete thoughts.
They are a study guides for students of the bible to find and mark passages and nothing else.

does this mean you putting me on 'ignore' was pretend too? If so I would agree on your assessment of 'pretend.'
