     Guess what? I have just as much right to express my opinion as you do!
If the sub moderator(s) don't want it in their domain, that's their
privilege, but it does not change the fact that the burdon of "proof" does
not lie with the defense of this issue. Look at the title of this message
thread and discover it has a greater relationship with issues of religion
than it does social conduct. You cannot disprove it, and my offerings of
proof do not interest those who are non-believers. That is exactly as the
Bible itself indicates, and comes as no surprise.
     Meanwhile, the sorrow is with your contention that it has no validity;
since if there IS any meaning or validity to existence, and if there IS any
creator of man and the universe, then he has thrown it all into irretrievable
chaos by allowing a book such as the Bible to exist on a planet of
intelligent beings who have the innate conscience to consider the fact that
it declares the existence (and proves it by the manner in which it was
written) that there IS such a God and that he HAS provided what is written of
... when all the while knowing himself that it is not true. Such an
omnipotent being would be showing outright contempt and irresponsibility for
the entire creation. To live under such a reality would be pointless and
mercilessly cruel.
     Keep it to myself, indeed.
