So, what's with the "just you wait" excuse that you keep using every time that people point out that you don't have any evidence to support one of your claims? Why should anyone believe you when you cannot do anything but post unrelated quoted from Isaiah, threats about future that you cannot support, and paranoid claims about how the justice system has been undermined by the Supreme Court. I would be surprised if you cared about anyone's opinion. It appears that you worship your own teachings and will never consider anything that anyone else ever has to say. It seems likely that your stubborn attitude makes life difficult for you. Quote

The usual atheist nonsense. There are innumerable existing gods, for a god is anything or anyone being called a god. Much like atheists insist, that anyone calling himself a Christian, is one.

We actually DO > believe in Jesus, and seek to submit our wills to His. Do you even know what the word paranoia means? I know the words "cynicism and paranoia" sounds somber and important, but they are utter nonsense in the context of this conversation. And I fail to see what "believing in Jesus" and "submitting our will to His" has to do with the topic at hand. We were talking about the nauseating Hallmark catchphrase "What Would Jesus Do", and why it is a complete misconception, why it is nothing more than a way to deflect responsibility. If this is the best language you can find to discuss this issue, then we have nothing further to talk about. Quote
