The problem with your definition of God is that you base it on reasons for God. Our reasons for God always develop from our perceived need for God. Such thinking leads its opponents to say things like, “Man created God in his own image.” If we can get away from projecting onto God what we want Him to be, we stand a better chance of understanding what He might really be like.

Dear Prince, void of words,
Thanks

It was for none of your presumed reasons, and empowerment for women is nonsense.

Funny, nentwined never pisplaces my comments. Why yours?

Of course I know what averages are. What a long and silly way of saying I don't.

By saying I am merely one of a "kind" you exclude yourself any meaningful discussion.

I didn't say that they stop being athiests. You are probably right in saying that confirmed athiests stay that way in the face of death. But a person who has religious inclinations, even if they are supressed and/or denied, well, I've seen those come to the surface on a deathbed.

If I had the time, I'd gather all your prior declarations of nonfaith and set them beside this Confession of Faith. Then I'd ask mysely why I take anything you say seriously. Perhaps, like poetry, "guff" is the way you would describe all this talk about religion and faith.

Then you are a believer. I knew it all along.

I believe in telling. I think it's better than showing in many cases. But since you have expressed a like for this in general, my usual hard heart is softened, and I'll take a close look to see if maybe in this case showing might be better. If Dark Angel were to treast me with this kind of considedration, I'd let him tell me things instead of always having to destroy his ego and make him look like an ass.

To what silly things do you refer? Surely not that you have such a study with which to soil youself.

Did I not say that men ane women are unequal and different? If you want to argue, please do not go wandering off into some spatial unawareness of what the subject is. Many men are good at matching a dress to earrings. Many women can beat a man to death with his own shoes. If there were an internet simili, I'd be tempted right now.

Surely you were not up in the stands, were you? Crakyamuni wants me to think he was, but with such a lame description of how I looked, he only wishes he was.

If I say you are full of canal water, you will no doubt point to a study where men and women were asked certain defining questions. If an answer does not fit within the outlined limits of the study, the questionee must be asked again and told to slightly change his or her answer so that it fits the acceptable limits of our previously specified answer categories. If he or she does not change the answer, we must as good citizens of the world be tolerant, and kindly excuse him or her from our study. This is properly called the scientific method and gives rise to conclusions like men are more spatially aware.

No. I consider the sexes unequal and different. Unlike certain British commentators on this site, I think that on average men and women are equal intellectually. On average, there are differences in how women and men think, but not in their ability to reason and to think through a given situation and form good methods of dealing with it. Since we are different, it follows that input from both sexes is more likely to produce the best solution.

You returned and did it. Thanks.

It's that sort of thinking that gives rise to snake charmers and people who sit on mountain tops because somebody says Jesus will return on a certain day.

That's illogical! Why does accepting that there is a God imply that He probably created some paradise? You are a very silly person to think that.

I am not a bit concerned about that because your attack on womanhood was so weak that I made no defense except to point out that embroidary is really quite complex.

I'll let the two of you discuss me in private. Please continue.
