Hey Greg, what old bones said this? "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; and a MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOULD."

Do I believe they found the bones of Jesus, Greg? Does the following indicate that? "Do I believe that they found the bones of Jesus or the shroud of Jesus or that there was a flood that covered the mountains or that the sun stopped in the sky!!" Does this indicate that? "I didn't recognize that the bones of Jesus have not been found, Greg??!" How about this? "I don't believe that they found the bones of Jesus, so that proves what a disingenuous liar I am?" "One statement indicates one thing and the other seems to contradict it." Does it, Greg?? You are as phoney as a three dollar bill! "I wonder how she would feel if she knew that you are all those things and so much more??!" She knows I am none of those things! "You have this thread; which seems to be the center of your existence, and which sole purpose is to attack the God of the Bible." I hardly think it is the center of my existence! But it certainly appears to be the bane of yours! You do not appear to comprehend the difference between myths and real people. Whereas I permit the purported words and actions of mythological characters to condemn the brutal and absurd ideas which they symbolize and represent...you use your foul mouth and your unscrupulous disrespect for honesty, to attack the character of real people--including third parties. "yet your response to then is as timid as as a small child" I have always stood for freedom of religion. My response to them was not "timid as a small child". It was gracious and mature, and respectful--without in any way being supportive of the myths in the bible. Now why don't you go get a massage and get rid of some that hostility and tension?!
