You should also assume no one takes you seriously in your sniveling and twisting of words you're too much of a weasel to stand behind.

But keep setting the bar low and slithering under it, by all means.

I never said you did, but it's obvious that you made an observation, then you acted upon it. How's that little corner that you continue to back into?

I'm actually glad to see you're not going to stick to your guns on this; the Bible is a pretty crappy weapon, no matter how much your heart is or isn't into it.

Why no miracles? Because Jesus is dead and Morgan Freeman is too busy taping his science show.
