Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off of your mattress.
Oh, and I don't cuss enough, and NOBODY thinks I am funny.

I think you're funny Brian
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Welcome,
At least we don't have to worry about a smartarse shortage- we've got loads of them on here and they all think they are president of the smartarse club.
Obviously - I am the president - but we do mix with the bunnies from time to time.

Don't we all? I've heard before (and I believe it) that the majority of people in the world consider themselves to have above average intelligence. But clearly this cannot be! It is my hypothesis that the ones who are wrong-may very well be the people that claim to be "bad test-takers".
You mean you're smart until we attempt to measure it?

I do. As long as your jokes aren't directed at a team with a star on their helmet...
