Right, I was working from that presumption beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 08/09/2011 03:32:31 PM
I believe I've mentioned my affiliation here before (raised in Catholic schools, bounces between atheist and agnostic depending on how nice a day it is outside. FYI with all this rain on the East Coast I'm pretty sure we're alone in an uncaring universe.)

I enjoy seeing how religions account for apparent inconsistencies or contradictions in their faith. Part of it is schadenfreude, I suppose, but a bigger part is a love for trying to make all the fiddly bits line up with reality.

(Which I think is something I have in common with a lot of fantasy fans- every single person who gets annoyed that the One Power can't make you fly thinks like this)

I amuse myself.

Hm, so there's a broad Divine Plan, but it doesn't matter either way who wins the Super Bowl? beetnemesis - 08/09/2011 05:25:23 PM 312 Views
Your argument only works if you get to decide who and what god is, like I said strawman random thoughts - 08/09/2011 06:32:17 PM 344 Views
