My God is perfect and true.Great. Do you think it would be a good thing or a bad thing for me and the grocery man and Finland to follow your God?

Now show there's something in there that makes those crazy-looking quotes harmless and cuddly.

He who provides the quote, provides the link and thus the context.
Them's the rules.

A follow-up to this is why would anyone believe in an imperfect and untrue God?Or one that orders the killing of every living person in an entire city.

One of the Roman emperors commanded the tides to stand still, but you have asserted that all existence bows to your personal wishes. You might be referring to King Canute.

To follow my God is one thing. To follow my concept of my God is another thing entirely. Remember, this will all be filtered through the human brain. Do you trust my interpretation of the Almighty's will? If I were you, I'd definitely think that one over before you answer.

"But if WE point out that all of the 'little changes' neccessary for Evolution to have actually occured in the amount of time postulated is likewise unimagineable, we get dismissed. "Strange....
Not really. The creationist attempts are intended to show the impossibility of evolution and their calculations have quite a few incorrect initial conditions. The calculations I tried to do were simply to show how fortunate we are to have found as many fossils as we have. I also tried to include as many factors as possible. The problem I had was in trying to determine the correct factors. That difficulty led me to abandon the calculation.
Besides, most of do not say the creationist calculations are wrong as much as we contend that any calculation is impossible.

Again, what's so bad about a nation led by God? Its not the Big Man so much as the A-holish minions claiming to carry out his will.

If it were possible that all the world became Christian, would that be a bad thing in your mind? I guess that would mean no more of those little Jack-Chick style flyers would be thrust in my face when I am on the subway. Maybe youre on to something.
To: VadeRetro
Speaking as an agnostic, it would depend on what exactly happened to all the agnostics. You would be sent away for "re-education" of course.
