I'm really not fond of an endless stream of "Nuh uh" "Yeah huh" exchanges so it's past time we agreed to disagree on this point. I've stated my case and you've stated yours. Time to turn it over to the readers to decide for themselves.
Quote:I'm not reading into your posts - I quoted you saying "entire" fan-fic, and now you're backpedaling because you're clearly wrong.It's neither clearly wrong nor am I backpedaling. You've decided to fan fic your way out of the problem and have written the plot. Whether or not you write it out is beside the point. What part of this are you having trouble with?
Quote:Or, as I noted, God is using a common teaching technique.A bad one. We may have to agree to disagree on this point as well.
