god must be atheist

You could have read the second comment, right after John27's, and the message would haver revealed itself to you. I am glad that eventually you came t...

Please give it two weeks plus a few days: discounts for the post-party sickness and pre=party drunkennes. Like time for time out during soccer matches...

"It's not winning, but participation that's important." Manifesto by the Committee of Modern Olympic Games, cca 1893.

Every emotion has its fifteen minutes of fame, too. Center stage. Limelight. The Shirelles were lip syncing, and doing a horrible job at it. I watched...

I am practicing to be good. Not to be obnoxious and rude and abrupt. It's either the spirit of the season, or else the psychological influence you hav...

Yes, Yes, but the proper PC expression, to invalidate future cancel cultural attacks, is "my poor spectrum boy." This may be misleading; so may I plea...

Objects are often anthropomorphized in stories... this is a refreshing reversal of that trend. Sigh... yes. Humans mistake empathy for apology. The wo...

You're funny. In an endearing way.

Because Prada makes purses out of lizards. It is frightening to imagine the inyards of a lizard which are not credit cards but other stuff. Caveat: my...

I think half of the board participants here said after reading, (or could say if they read the story) "Hesus, it's about me. How can I hide my shame?"...

That's why they have separate washrooms for men and women at work. For times when the tension is no longer just simmering, but raising the lid on the ...

Well, not quite. Because the story must also stir, to the point that the reader's entire body shakes in the sobbing cry he lets out. He must turn his ...

Yeah, I know I should have raised the bar higher. Sorry.

Dirty deeds. Done dirt cheap.

Plus it should make you cry with joy or laugh with joy, or cry with pain that goes away; give you insight, while you're inside, what for you it caters...

are we allowed to guess online in the comments section who wrote what piece?

I sell you one of mine for $9K. I got several, and they are all authentic. You make $1K, everyone's happy. (Except I just broke one of the terms of th...

I totally agree if you view it from our modern point of view. I wasn't there then, but I imagine that the Torah was accepted as physical reality in Je...

About the just vs unjust views of punishment in hell. I don't think we need to pull that in. An analogy: You're in a jail cell with a 230 lbs bodybuil...

I agree. However, I notice that you failed to answer the question I asked. How could you not see that this very one and the same component is used to ...

Thank you for raising these points. I actually disagree, and I can explain why. There are no parameters for specifically the acquired moral code but n...

Thank you, that makes me feel better. Thanks. So, accordingly, I must ask you again, now that we cleared the air on what was likely my misconception: ...

I can only agree with that.

Okay. How did you miss the difference in the role that "he is a thug" played in my post and in the OP, and subsequent posts by Banno? 1. He states tha...

The question is not how many things are present. I have already covered that with my definition of the metaphor. The question was "are there one-word ...

Tom Storm: you are picking on me. Of course it was part of the OP. And it is part of my post. So far so good. But you said that in a manner, that indi...

Thank you for your thoughtful reply, Altered. The difference in our opinion may stem from the difference in our approach to morality. You say morality...

I am not assuming anything. But you claim to have knowledge of that. What gives? Can you read my reply with the eyes that God gave you? Can you compre...

You state this as if it were proven. No, that is not proven. Much like the possibility of a physical world being all good is not proven. but that is n...

I don't think it's necessary or even practice to worship god on moral grounds. You worship god if you are a Christian because he is a big thug, who ca...

Let's bring out the bubblies, then! :party: :starstruck: :sparkle:

We must celebrate that. -- or did you want to write, "You're now a celery," with a "b" and an "it" that got in there by Google correctype editor.

I think I've been discovered. (That's what the Indian said. When he saw people paddle toward him from the "Pinta".)

I love your funky vowels. Those two are also on the HU keyboard.

obviously god is not Christian. He is not a Christian because he does not love his own enemies. Love is NOT sending someone to hell for all eternity. ...

You have to go to the Bible, the New Testament in particular, to find the answer. The punishment for those who don't become Christians -- whatever you...

Try to be logical about it. Don't let your emotions guide you this time. To start, you could ask yourself: how do I not fall into the same definition ...

Try to be philosophical about it.

I actually haven't done any analysis after that, per se. I did point out what had been said, what he should do, and I asked him questions to satisfy m...

I think we are converging on this discussion by your saying this. I'll take these three words at near-random from my list and show how they are metaph...

I think you should read your own posts too, Qmeri, not just reply to the texts written to you by others. You will learn a whole bunch of things new to...

Okay, I shalt refrain from analyzing your mind and your intentions. But I can't suppress my curiosity. So instead of trying to figure out, I ask you t...
