It's ridiculous to say you can be certain.If you can't accept my answer..why should anyone accept yours? I understand that it's important to you to spread the indignation around to others. Too bad. I wouldn't kill my kid. I'd piss my pants and run away...wasn't that the prevailing theory? Am I going to stop, at some point there, to bind my kid up, and haul him up a mountain? Seems like it would eat into my pissing and running time, to me.
Quote:It wasn't pious of me to say that I would probably not obey God.
Quote:You don't freely admit it. You qualify it....and getta out of here with this shit, lol.Quote:has more to do with your stated opinion of the perception of relative faithlessness involved in simply accepting that you, like every atheist who's ever asked you this question..would not kill your kid.
Huh? I freely admit that I don't have the faith of Abraham.
Quote:Sure. That was the point in proposing it to Abraham as a test of faith.Wasn't a problem for abraham, it is a problem for you (allegedly). This has absolutely nothing to do with -your- faith, and you know it. It has to do with you thinking that any such command is horrid. That's the entire point of someone asking you a question like this. That every person who's ever asked has to peel back 30 layers of christian onion to find a human being is exactly what they wonder about in asking it. It's not something that you could have missed..it pops right out at you too. You instantly grasp that some comment regarding your relative faithlessness is required to salvage the un-salvageable.
Quote:See above. I have no problem with a conversation when you actually get to your points. That just takes awhile sometimes.Particularly when I get three non-answers for every question.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
