As God is my witness you had better come to terms with the fact that it's extremely detrimental to your soul to persist in this manner Do you think I haven't dealt with those details? God has accepted my eternal sacrifice to allow for the redemption of a few billion of my associates. We have agreed on eternal burning as the thing that would give God the best feelings overall. I have agreed with God that this seems a very fair, and an extremely intelligent and creative punishment, for being born with that old original sin. Oh, you were included by the way; So if you wanna do a little shoplifting...it is already on my bill You're welcome, Sport. I'll speak with you later, when this opium has run through.

<< As God is my witness you had better come to terms with the fact that it's extremely detrimental to your soul to persist in this manner. >> Although this was from your post to X the Unknown, I have a few comments. First of all, if God couldn't find Adam, when Adam was hiding behind the bush, and God didn't know that Adam ate the apple, which was God's most important order to Adam, then how could God possibly keep up with X's profaning in the name of the Lord? Profaning in the name of the Lord happens billions of times a day, all over the world.

You THINK it is detrimental to my soul. God, if he exists, made me just the way I am and is probably regretting he made you. Of course I don't think any God, as any human can imagine God, exists. I suspect if there is anything at all, that is "godlike" it is the laws of the universe / organizing principles of matter and anti-matter. It is not detrimental for me to believe this, nor is it detrimental for me to leave my mind open. The best people, the most congenial minds, some of the most gifted men and women of history whom I greatly admire, reject everything you spout. And quite frankly I couldn't stand being in any heaven that allowed people like you in it. Your belief may or may not be detrimental to you. Unlike you I can't judge YOUR life for you. I can judge that I don't like you. And I can judge that I don't like what you believe. But you might be less happy and fulfilled without your mission and belief- I certainly can't say, so I won't say that what YOU are doing is detrimental if you persist. Of course I am a better person that you are. Jesus would like me better. :-P
