If the Christian god can do anything, can he make a rock so heavy even he can't pick it up? -Kerry O. There is nothing the Christian God cannot do.....Faith can move mountains remember that......mountains are pretty heavy hug... 
IMO, that's one of those 'stop thinking here' type platitudes thrown about when someone wants to give that in which they believe credit for all the good things that happen in the world while at the same time shirking any of the blame. My ancestors had a rather different, grittier saying: "Wish in one hand and **** in the other and see which fills up first." Example: World Peace. -Kerry O. Kerry--we don't agree one bit on politics or the nature of that animal but we agree on this issue. Your assessment of what sometimes come off as glib responses to serious questions is dead on accurate. I asked a Christian friend not long ago about birth/life/death similarities of Osiris-Dionysus and how it almost matched perfectly with the story of Jesus's birth/life/death and the response I got was just sad: "Well, Satan is crafty in that way and even though they were born before Christ, Satan created the similarities in advance in order to confuse the soon to come followers of Christ." 2400 years before Christ (in Osiris's case) and the Devil went back in time to create a future scam? That might be the worst bit of logic I've ever heard. -Drew  I know what you mean. I have asked these questions and this is the kind of dumb answers that I have gotten too. Thats how I realized that only a few people understand religion. Most people dont know anything they are talking about.

OMG Mirror, we agree on something. This cannot be--there must be a mistake--wait--OK, I'm coming to my senses--we are supposed to argue about everything. OK, so maybe not and thanks for the response! -Drew |
