Edit to add: I’d start working on your reading comprehension. You pulled statements out of nothing. I’d almost think that was on purpose.

I was in a red neck bar when Ali fought the English champ, Joe Bugner. They were all going on how Bugner would “teach this N a lesson.”

By the time Ali finished Bugner off, they were all on their feet cheering Loudly for Ali.

To be clear, Ali’s brand of “Islam” is a mix of Islam and Christianity. It is tied to “black Islam”, and usually supportive of Western civilization and our democracy. This is also why B-HO is not a Muslim or Christian. B-HO is of the “religion” of HIMSELF.

Nobody knows what happened in that last millisecond before his soul departed.

You're treading on very thin metaphysical ice here. Why not say the last nanosecond? ... Well, that would be be ridiculous! ... Just so.

And yet, Jesus manages to find those who didn’t have the opportunity to hear about Him.

I’m on a handheld so won’t go long. Our pastor brought our church’s team to Iraq, Jordan and Erbil and heard from people who had never been ministered to that Jesus found His way to them. God gives everyone a chance.

Funny! In “sting like a bee’s day”, Pacquiao, with both hands tied behind his back would have cleaned c”ass”ius’s clock before the first ring of the bell, and then of course Manny, as now, would move on to his other part-time world achievements!

I suggest you take that issue up with the maker.

Well, why a millisecond? To me this is a a rhetorical gesture, no different than the “last second”, which at least jibes with our subjective experience of decision making.

It was I who was asking you the question, “Really?” regarding your use of the term millisecond. I guess it is in fact just rhetoric to you.

I did not intend to be scientifically precise. My focus was on the potential event itself, not on the unit of measurement. That’s why I replied as I did. I meant no disrespect.

I don’t use rhetorical tricks on a subject that is so important to me, and I certainly mean no ill will toward you. Thank you.

... but you did, however thoughtlessly.

and I certainly mean no ill will toward you.

I never thought so, and same here!
