But I think it's funny, too. Guess I'm an idiot.

Mouse pretending to be fox bounds into the henhouse; shouts -- "Boo! De debbil gonna git you!"; the chickens all begin scampering around and squawking; mouse dashes out again, giggling...Might make a cute cartoon....

As you point out, it could be the doppelganger* of some AskGod habitue* rather than the habitue* himself. Doesn't really matter much.

Don't you think that whoever it is may not just be horsing around, but really believes he can "reach you"? That he may feel he needs to adopt a fresh identity for you to take what he says seriously? (I do think AA is a he, not a she.)

*For the benefit of Lab Sharpshooters: my computer can't handle umlauts, accent marks, circumflexes, or any of that stuff, because it is programmed to read those marks as Cyrillic letters. So don't bug me, okay? (Defensive sna-a-a-a-rl.)

Although my strongest hunch is that she's something like his wife or his girlfriend or a buddy, whom he's asked to come in as reinforcements.

That thought hadn't occurred to me, but I think you are probably right.

As though we need this!!!!!

Do you feel as I do, that these people cheapen God somehow?

Agree-I have always respected Shalom and also think he has a neat sense of humor; he has taken a lot of abuse without getting nasty in return. That was a throwaway line, Cobe, and I hope Shalom would take it as such.
But in case he saw it as nasty-- SHALOM!!! You KNOW I LIKE YOU! HAVE ALWAYS LIKED YOU! WILL ALWAYS LIKE YOU!!!!

SHALOM CobaltBlue,
Shalom means the wholeness of God. Wholeness in every area of
a child of God's life. That is The Father's promise to his children. Wholeness in EVERYTHING. There is not much time left, there is much
to fight and pray about. I will receive SHALOM from my Heavenly Father.
CBlue I do not know Chris, well a little now because he wrote to me here. Thank you for the semi-cool statement.
I hope to hear from you again.

†...Thank you CB...†

for your faith in me. I was quite moved, thank you.

You are quite right indeed. I do not have time to play religion nor would I think of dressing up as someone else.

My credibility means too much to me to be so dishonest as to post as more than one person. I have established a solid reputation in the community which I live and work, and even in this community of SI. I can be nobody but who I am...me!

In all I do, I always do it in honesty, and always straightforward.
Playing games is just not my style, and I'm truly grateful that some here are able to see that.

That reminds me of the preacher, who one beautiful spring morning got up and wanted to go play a round of golf, but remembered it was Sunday and he had to deliver the sermon. So he called his associate and played sick. His associate agreed that he would do the sermon for him.

So the pastor got dressed and went out of town to a most challenging and beautiful golf course. He noticed that not a soul was around and concluded it was because everyone was in church. He took his stance, addressed the ball, and hit it with utter grace. As he watched the ball fly high and glide ever so smoothly, he was pleased with his shot. And then lo and behold he realized he got a hole in one!

Now up in the heavens was St. Peter who also saw it. In amazement and wonder, St. Peter looked over to God and said, "Why did you let him do that Father, he lied to associate Joe, and he is not preaching your word as he was supposed to be today"? God looked back at St. Peter and said,..."Who is he going to tell"?

Thanks again CobaltBlue

Have a good evening
Shalom...><>
