"I never said I didn't believe god created the universe"

You never said you did either. When I asked you directly, your answers were so heavily qualified and evasive that I had good reason to question what you meant by that statement. Further: when you laughingly call into question whether or not God is personal and refuse to even capitalize the word it leaves a very distinct impression that you believe God to be impersonal

"what did I lie about?"

"TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!"

NO NOT FINALLY, INITIALLY!

"go back and see how many times I asked you what it was!!!!"

Yes lets do that. Lets look at the first time the question was asked.

Question: "That's spelling it OUT? What is a 'personal' god? I think there is only one, but what the hell do I know!?" Message 25727657

Answer comes the very next post

ANSWER: Catholicism has always held that God (with a capital G btw) is a personal (actually tri-personal) being.

A personal God is one that is self aware, rational, volitional, has emotions, and is able to act.

"God acts just by willing: he wills that things be a certain way, and they are that way. (God said "Let there be light"; and there was light."

My point is very simple. If you believe that there is a Creator then you are by definition some kind of Creationist. No big deal and certainly nothing you need to be ashamed of.

As to you repeating the question over and over, I simply reply; Asked and ANSWERED.

Here's a question for you; Is lying a sin in your universe?
