Well spoken but at least partially wasted

But the whole point of the New Testament is to show that there is a faith that comes from God, by receiving the Holy Spirit, and through revelation. Not intellect. Now I could be the biggest bore and talk about confirmation-bias, memory bias, post hoc ergo propter hoc and the likes, but these things do not tell use anything about the faith that comes from The Lord Himself.
As I read the comments of someone who is clearly well-educated, clearly well-spoken, clearly passionate and positive about life, what saddens me the most is that you have chosen to spend what undoubtedly amounts to a large portion of that life engaged in a fantasy.
I DO NOT mean this in a nasty way, and I sincerely hope that you won't take it as such. I also sincerely hope that you are engaged in tangible charitable works or, raising a nice family or... any number of other productive things. The only point I make is that, in a very real sense, I consider someone like yourself wasted, as it seems that a major part of your life is spent in a fantasy world.
I HAD to say that to get it off my chest. Having said that, I thank you for your comments no matter how much I might disagree with them.
I'm glad cavediver found his wallet btw

Well, anyone who quotes from The Big Lebowski is allright in my book, even if we do walk different paths
(for the sake of my reputation, I must add that your comments in the Thuglican thread are disgraceful lol)
