It wasn't god who separated the water, it was an angry troll called Gretchen. You have to believe in Gretchen or you'll be sent to Scunthorpe. It's in the book

The idea is obviously conceived by many.Just unnecessary, and unevinced.Why misrepresent things in that way?Why bear false witness?Why target people? Why not leave people alone? If I thought you were interested in an exchange of ideas, that you wanted a fair discussion without baiting, I would have been interested.Why try to manipulate? Why do you refuse to address issues with an open mind and fairly? Why push your agenda onto others instead of trying to learn?

I'd like to respond and point out that if you think he was a nice guy, you acknowledge that he lived and that we have a record of him.

To just give Him a shot. It is so simple and so profound.
I might pick a nit or two with you here, BC. Some Christians believe that Catholics are the spawn of Satan, some believe that of Protestants. Presumably they have a choice in this matter? They certainly have a choice as to how they act upon their belief. Or is sectarian violence part of Christian DNA?
P.S. You don't need anyone's permission to be kind to others. If you have to rely on someone or something else to tell you how to treat people, then you are abdicating your own responsibility.
burning innocent people alive,
Did they choose to believe in the creed of Protestantism?Were they indoctrinated into Catholicism?
Could you choose to believe that I am 6 foot six?
