No, I do not own a gun; have never needed one. I’m not opposed to them, if that’s what you are implying. Even the apostles were told to own a sword even at the expense of the clothes off their own backs, after all. Now that’d be neat to own, a sword. Would make a great conversation & mantle piece.

Anyway, what kind of mental gymnastics are you implying I’m using? To what are you specifically referring to? And how is it inconsistent with the rest of my worldview? Being inconsistent with another’s worldview doesn’t bug me in the slightest.

That being said, you’re welcome to drop by the IRC channel I started; 9pm on Fridays (GMT-5) is the weekly chat time. There won’t be any beer, but our channel bot serves ice cold Coke, pizza, and spicy tacos…. Or something to that effect.

#Brethren on DALnet (irc.dal.net) if you’re interested.

Mr Beckman, you should read my blog. I’ve come across plenty of people such as yourself. I write in honour of people like you, because I find your distorted views of the world hilarious.

I think the world would be a happier place if someone like me could sit with you over a beer (if indeed you drink) and discuss the amazing mental gymnastics required for you to keep you bleatings consistent. Unfortunately, you are on such a moral highhorse that I don’t think this would be possible.

Oh, and you don’t own a gun, do you?

I really wish I didn’t waste my time and emotional energy reading those links. Becoming enraged infront of a computer screen is not healthy.

Where to begin? How about with reading comprehension? Nowhere did I ever say rape was a gift from God.

However, if God is the only giver of life, it follows that a child is a gift from God no matter what the circumstances are, and that God is capable of working even rape for our good.

Or would everyone be happier with a God that leaves us miserable and imparts to us nothing good through something like rape? Yeah, that sounds much better.

Thanks for the link, though. Good day! (Or night, as it is currently.)

well, it would be, if it weren't for the fact that he attempts to claim that rape is a gift from god...

Not only was that comment irrelevant, you posted it twice.

To borrow a phrase from your good self:

“Idiot!”

Will attempt to start a flame war with your mate though.
