No. He's right. By putting a period where you like in the middle of one of his (run-on) sentences you are putting your words in his mouth. You could've avoided this just by using an ellipsis where you put the period to acknowledge your trim job on his sentence.
So Steve, would you have complained if he'd represented your

Imagine a dvd representing the whole of time. now imagine on that dvd you know it's contents like any favorite movie. now take the dvd outside the player and place it on the table. You are now outside the "time line" of the dvd. did you suddenly become retarded (anymore than normal I mean?) What I am asking now just because you do not live at any central point on that dvd does it mean you know any less or more of the history on that dvd?
Now to answer a couple others with the same analogy imagine on the same dvd everything had a creation or birthing point of some kind. Now if you created the DVD would your creation then also be required to be on that DVD? No As you and your origins are pre time. As I said the DVD contains all of time and if you have it then you are outside of that time line, that dimension.
It's so funny when I see Christians explaining God as living "outside time and space".
When you think that by the time the book of Genesis was written people used to believe that the earth was flat, that the sun circled around the earth, and that the blood of goats appeased angry gods. Yeah, surely back then people revelled in the theory of relativity and were meditating upon the space-time continuum.
If god were real you'd expect the bible to read something like "in the first femtosecond I decided to make the universe on Newtonian lines, in the second I looked at quantuum mechanics and decided to go that way, in the third I got bored and said'yerra fuck it, a perplexing mish-mash of both systems will do fine'".

What? Why would gawd need to decide anything at all. He is infallible. Whatever He decides becomes the law. Up could've been down depending on what side of the Bed he got up on.

No way. If he wipes it was needed. If he doesn't, he was clean as a whistle. And you can bet His shit doesn't stink.

If MellisaClarke came here looking for sympathy, help or answers she certainly didn't find a whole lot. If she is/was serious well:

A vote for a troll, completely subjective, of course.

I saw another meme some days ago about God that I am having problems thinking about.

I always think the above as correct.
The meme continues: "Since God has no creator, God is not a thing to be created, or no thing to be created, i.e. nothing; God is nothing".
Am I a true Christian for having problems with the above? Help!
I’m with Catholic Lady on this one. I’m not sure why you’re asking a forum full of atheists if your beliefs qualify you as a True Christian™? I won’t pretend to fully understand the qualifications to call yourself a “true Christian,” but I think all you have to do is self-identify as one, and poof: You’re a True Christian! If it helps, I can dub you a True Christian, and then you can refer anyone who questions your authenticity to this post as evidence that you are indeed a True Christian™.
I hereby bestow upon you the title True Christian, and grant you all rights and privileges associated with that title.
