I'm not a believer.
Nor a non-believer.
​
If God appeared in the clouds, I wouldn't know whether to consider it a big hoax or to repent. I'd probably look up for a few seconds, and then get on with whatever I was doing.
​
As for Nuggin's question, evolution seems like a useful scientific theory. So I use it. Creation / ID aren't so useful. So I ignore them.

I don't want a large Farva, I want a goddamn liter-a-cola.

Hi Faith, you missed the point. Maybe if I say it in a Bible-compliant way, you'll catch on. I'm doing this just for you though, and just this once, because I like you.
​
  • If I heard God's voice, I wouldn't know whether it was just me or if it was just God.
    • ​
    Maybe that will satisfy your urge to respond with random Bible-facts which have nothing to do with the thread.

    Well, the only time anyone is going to get to see God appearing in the clouds is when Jesus returns to rule the planet, and the Last Judgment is the next thing on the schedule. Ignoring the event is not going to be an option.

    Living in fear must be exhausting.
    ​
    Why reply? Why go for the bait? Why not bite your tongue? Why willingly follow the lead to a random march away from the point of the thread?
    ​
    These are rhetorical questions. Really, I'm just disappointed... and I'm voicing it.
    ​
    When we insist on carrying around with us... and linguistically communicating... our differences, even to threads like this one, ... sigh. What's the point of having topics, or trying to discuss, at all. Are we linguistically-endowed animals, or are we prefrontally-endowed humans? It just boggles my mind.
    ​
    I'm not looking to debate this. Take it for what it's worth, as it is. Thanks.
