If God always existed without beginning, always had his qualities inherent to his nature, etc then why is he the only thing that could do that?"
A passing appraisal of the trouble with the argument in and of itself. Of course the trouble with this argument as it applies to the world outside of the argument, is that it is completely and woefully lacking any evidence. What can be imagined, what can be argued, and what is are not always the same thing. Similarly, cause and god are not synonymous, except insomuch as some would argue that they are, without being able to contain themselves to that definition after having tried to weasel it in.
This is not my quote. I'm considering reporting you.
It is definitely what you said.

Uh, no. It's the second paragraph of the OP. (I am not the OP author.)

Post #59, report away.
(don't get pissy with me if you can't handle quote tags)
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!

He said it. I replied to the post. He seems unable to find the reply (quote) button so that was written in quotation marks. He could go ahead with his threat and make a report about it but he will look really dumb and I suspect he will end up banned soon anyway.

Ah, yes. Apologies, man. It is confusing when people don't use the quote tags.

That's fine, lol. I was just quoting his post, again, if he can't handle quote tags that's not my problem. Chalk it down to a mis-communication, but avoid accusing me of misquoting, agreed?

Phil, this segway has not gotten you off the hook. Werewolf and I are still awaiting the explanation, IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

I won't bud, and you shouldn't either. They're just words after all.
