Sorry, I was being testy and perceived an insult that didn't exist. Try not to let it bother you. I did mean to sound like that, though for bad reasons. Its only that its hard to talk about this on two fronts on the same journal entry. One where you accept Christianity as a premise and one where you do not. When you try to do that you find yourself having to try to prove the Bible ever time you open your mouth, or you are forced into an impractical situation where you have to tell people every time you say anything whether its intended for one group or the other. Do you see where I am coming from? Even to say I have an "easy way out" when talking about it is unfair, because it wasn't meant to be a secular discussion.
Take your above reply to the scripture I put up. The argument was strictly meant to be confined to Christian dogma and theology. This was made clear by me and also I think from the nature of the question. You know I value your opinion, but on this if you simply don't have one that includes any kind of theological backing I think maybe it would have been a *better* option not to comment. Although I think that you could have since you *are* knowledgable about theology to an extent. In any case, none of this excuses the way I responded though so again, I apologize.
Im not sure what you mean by your second paragraph though, but I was asuming that you meant that you asked "where does it say that" and I read "it never says that", because thats basically how I responded to it. Maybe a more neutral phrasing was in order?
