Regulator - There are numerous references to this conceit in the Bible. You might find those points interesting as well.

I've "slung" no insult. Why so defensive? What is a conceit, LeGrande?

Implying that I am conceited is an insult. If you are going to insult me, insult me like a man. I hate the mealy mouthed way you are attempting it.

As far as the center of the world, it's Ariel, known to us as Jerusalem, according to the Bible.

You think that because the biblical writers thought the earth was flat and a flat surface can have a center.

As far as the center of the universe, I'm quite comfortable in the knowledge that it's right here. You guys keep working on the material nuts and bolts; you're getting warmer.

It's all relative.

What’s your tag line supposed to say? It’s all jumbled.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 [gcide]:

Conceit \Con*ceit"\, noun [Through French, fr. L. conceptus a conceiving, conception, fr. concipere to conceive: cf. OF. p. p. nom. conciez conceived. See {Conceive}, and cf. {Concept}, {Deceit}.]

1. That which is conceived, imagined, or formed in the mind; idea; thought; image; conception.

In laughing, there ever procedeth a conceit of somewhat ridiculous. --Bacon.

A man wise in his own conceit. --Proverbs

2. Faculty of conceiving ideas; mental faculty; apprehension; as, a man of quick conceit. [Obs.]

How often, alas! did her eyes say unto me that they loved! and yet I, not looking for such a matter, had not my conceit open to understand them. --Sir P. Sidney.

3. Quickness of apprehension; active imagination; lively fancy.

His wit's as thick as Tewksbury mustard; there's more conceit in him than is in a mallet. --Shakespeare

I await your apology, LeGrande. Man up.

Also, Biblically speaking, the "world" is the Creation, as in the world being destroyed by flood in Noah's time. The earth remained. Do you grasp the distinction?
