In order for that to be true - I'd have to consider you a person, rather than a walking, talking stereotype of a brain-washed christian pseudo-intellectual.

Ah, see unlike you, Randy, I know when to stop throwing good money after bad.
I tried having a discussion with you, and it devolved into you copy/pasting catechism and dodging questions.
I'll pass from here on out. I will, however, enjoy watching you making yourself look more and more like are a Catholic automaton that doesn't have any ability to relate to human beings. You've wasted your conversation tokens with me.

An empty claim, Mike, but a common one. Folks say, "I tried discussing this with you but..." and then they cut and run.
Yeah. But I'm still here.
So, if there is a question you think I dodged (which I doubt), ask again.
You know where to find me.

Well, then - you have a lot to learn, because accusing me of liking Pixar movies is really lame as far as insults go, Jesus-breath...

If people keep telling you that, Randy, maybe it's time to listen?

If people keep SAYING that, maybe it's just a convenient dodge.
Now, if you think I dodged your question, ask it again.

Almost as convenient as "it's late, I'm tired, I'll answer your question tomorrow"? That one comes up a lot.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
