Reconciling my own faith with that of Abraham is easy - my faith is lesser than his, and so God wouldn't even approach me with such a command. That wasn't the question though.

Quote:Since that seems pretty cut and dry, I'm fine with moving on to this newest evasion.  As I already mentioned..when a person orders a hit in our country, we charge them with a crime regardless of whether any murder is accomplished.

I didn't expect you to admit that moving to current law was an evasion, but yes, I agree.

scenario1)
Apostates and heretics flock to Atheist Forums and are converted to Atheism en masse.


[yawn]

scenario 2)
1 actual pious believer shows up, starts Witnessing the Actual Word, but then after reading some other posts here realizes he is compelled to embrace Atheism.



Obviously, the real thrill of being here is for the promise of scenario 2 someday happening.  Who gives a rats ass if a heretic renounces God?

Not me !!

You used to be an interesting poster. Now you're a 2-trick pony (Paul, day of crucifixion). I've got to share the yawn. I'm disappointed.
