You are the 15th out of 50 posters on that thread. That goof is 23rd out of 50. Yet he pretends (lies) to this thread) about the matter. He wonders why he gets no respect. Can anybody say, VI??

Maybe I should rethink buying this book. It appears too hard for atheists to get past. This reviewer and his son were both converted to Christianity after only a few pages. amazon.com "I've been an athiest for 10 years. I bought this book 2 weeks ago, and read it from cover to cover the first night!! I have now accepted Jesus as my personal Lord & savior thanks to Pastor Deacon Fred and Brother Harry Hardwick's tear jerking sermons. My son, who is 14, took up the offer on page 3 to "Accept Jesus Christ as Your Personal Lord and Savior and Get a Free Playstation 3" promotion. He has been enjoying his Playstation, and his new friendship with Jesus, ever since. Anyone wishing to get to know God on a much more personal basis should buy this book. I was so excited, I bought 5 more copies to give to local libraries, so generations to come can learn the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ." Enjoy. There is also a review by a VI (they are everywhere, eh?!) "Nothing holy. Godless blasphemy"

It wasn't a lie, I hadn't seen you post there before.

If more people could live truly moral lives, it would be so good. These two from Topeka definitely set the gold standard for moral living. Knowing that sin does not suddenly become a good thing because of being able to afford a license, they have decided to light a beautiful candle for the world. Very moving story... larknews.com

Gulliver meets someone from the Evolution thread! "The mare soon after my entrance rose from her mat, and coming up close, after having nicely observed my hands and face, gave me a most contemptuous look; and turning to the horse, I heard the word Yahoo often repeated betwixt them; the meaning of which word I could not then comprehend, although it was the first I had learned to pronounce. But I was soon better informed, to my everlasting mortification; for the horse, beckoning to me with his head, and repeating the hhuun, hhuun, as he did upon the road, which I understood was to attend him, led me out into a kind of court, where was another building, at some distance from the house. Here we entered, and I saw three of those detestable creatures, which I first met after my landing, feeding upon roots, and the flesh of some animals, which I afterwards found to be that of asses and dogs, and now and then a cow, dead by accident or disease. They were all tied by the neck with strong withes fastened to a beam; they held their food between the claws of their fore feet, and tore it with their teeth. The master horse ordered a sorrel nag, one of his servants, to untie the largest of these animals, and take him into the yard. The beast and I were brought close together, and by our countenances diligently compared both by master and servant, who thereupon repeated several times the word Yahoo. My horror and astonishment are not to be described, when I observed in this abominable animal, a perfect human figure: the face of it indeed was flat and broad, the nose depressed, the lips large, and the mouth wide; but these differences are common to all savage nations, where the lineaments of the countenance are distorted, by the natives suffering their infants to lie grovelling on the earth, or by carrying them on their backs, nuzzling with their face against the mothers' shoulders. The fore-feet of the Yahoo differed from my hands in nothing else but the length of the nails, the coarseness and brownness of the palms, and the hairiness on the backs. There was the same resemblance between our feet, with the same differences; which I knew very well, though the horses did not, because of my shoes and stockings; the same in every part of our bodies except as to hairiness and colour, which I have already described." literaturepage.com
