I'm all for comfort blankets, even when it involves lying to oneself. If it gets you through the day...

That being said, what very demonstrably accompanies this kind of belief (as evidenced by numerous posters here) is venom and hate. That part I'm not so cool with.

Of course he hasn't read them. He made an entire new thread dedicated to asking LinearAq if he's a Christian or not. That to me is pretty indicative of not having ever read any of the guy's posts - because it's come up on numerous occasions. There are the small details we all miss from time to time and then there are the details which make it painfully obvious that you're merely glossing over other people's posts and not bothering to actually read them. Look what I had to go through just to get an answer to how he thinks tanned skin is hereditary - I asked numerous times in numerous posts and then finally made an entire thread asking it. For that matter I believe Russell's and/or Mordred's question about his bogus "Darwin" quotation has also been unresponded to, despite that it's been brought up quite a few times.


I answer affirmative to all Russ's questions but he still doesn't "judge" me to be Christian. I think he's a little big for his britches. Sometimes I wonder if he isn't thinking he is starting his own church. He does have some followers.
