You are a pretentious damn moron if ever there were one.

Isaiah 66:24

24 And they shall go out and look at the dead bodies of the people who have rebelled against me; for their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
But "their fire shall not be quenched" is a good thing, because they were commanded to "walk in the light of their own fire," right?

Or, you know, Isaiah was talking about different things. Interestingly, earlier in Isaiah, there's talk about "distress and darkness," of the kind that a "light [from one's] own fire" would chase away.

God could easily make it such that the sins of which we're unaware -- or that we erroneously, but with good faith, determine to not be sins -- don't condemn us. That He doesn't means that, even if He exists, He isn't worthy of worship.


Your opinion is duly noted and discarded.
Are you going to engage the point, or are you content to pull a Will Schryver here?

I'm not the one with the worthless degree. Moreover, you are the dullard who keeps attributing to me beliefs which I do not necessarily espouse.

You don't necessarily espouse them? Do you espouse them or not, you gutless crap?

Not that it really matters. The beliefs you have put forth are just as silly as any that I could erroneously impute to you.

Hello,

Perhaps Lehi and his company should have been swallowed up by a whale, and then commenced with their journey? I suppose spending a few days inside a creature somehow makes the story a little more plausible!

Oh, my. I suppose having noshed on my cache of Werthers is causing my unseemingly behavior. I do apologize.

Very Respectfully,

Are you able to suck on a Werthers until it's gone? Or are you eventually, inevitably, compelled to crunch it?
