Someone (john) drank too much bitch kool aid this week or somethin. Didn't i tell you to stop derailing and trolling this thread?

*Mod cap on

STOP DERAILING AND TROLLING THE THREAD
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

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.

I got a few...13g, 7g, 5g, 3b, 1b then..... there are those nameless faceless bastards spread across the globe....but I don't know how to quantify that. You're all going to be under the cruel boot of my progeny someday.
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!

Two girls 17 and 15. Both of them belong to both of us, so we're spared the step-parent gig.

Yeah my father in law keeps telling me that, and the popular phrase 'getting old sucks'

Age has advantages. None of them are physical. Wink And at some point the short term memory. . . . what was I saying?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

That is actually how I sleep at night...if they leave space for me on the bed. Sometimes I leave little treats on the floor...so they wake up, stumble down there to get it, forget what they were doing, and fall asleep on the ground.

A Pennsylvania family certainly didn't spare the rod on one of their kids.
