Thanks for the birthday greetings guys! The best thing that happened on my birthday was a four generation virtual gathering using zoom, including my children, grandchildren and my first live view of my 3 month old great granddaughter (the only great grandchild, so far)! What a cutie! Of course all my grandchildren are beautiful as well! My 10 grandchildren range in age from 1 year old to 28.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Congradulations on both the birthday and the great grandchild!
Thanks!

Well that's kind of funny. I had no idea it was your B-day but I found myself thinking about you while out on a walk. Essentially I was thinking how much we have the same opinions, but you have a much kinder, gentler way of expressing them, and that your patience with the idiots on this board is remarkable. If your posts are any indication, you're a good man, Gunnar.
Happy birthday, sir!
And wow on the extended family. Why do I suspect you entirely deserve it?
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Good man, for sure. I keep waiting for him to reveal some kind of character flaw. In twenty years it hasn't happened. Not once. Not ever.

That is so heart warming! No one deserves it more, Gunnar. I love the thought of you visiting with everyone via zoom. Congratulations on your newest granddaughter, Gunnar!

Boy have I got you fooled! I am far from without flaws, believe it or not!
by the way, that was newest great granddaughter not just granddaughter, and so far the only great grandchild in the usual sense of the term, though all my grandchildren are great in other ways.
