Hey thanks for that post, Aglets. Ok, I'll remember that. I always have a problem with the 'god created man in his, notice the male denominative there, image'. Now why would a god look like a man in the first place. Pretty suspicious stuff right there. It couldn't be oh, Anthropomorphism in action could it? NAH, not OUR god. So what about creatures on other 2 billion light years away and 3 million years in your future but hey, worship it anyway.
I was being facetious in that last comment, I don't actually believe in a God and I agree it is most likely anthropomorphism or similair problems of humans why God has to look like us.

Glad you enjoy my primary function, providing useless trivia to those in need of it.

woman to whom you are married or which bathroom you use at a
restaurant.

Is it 'faith' that you will have a johnson the next time you go to the can?

But it's possible that, even though it's never been recorded in human history, that you might
turn into a woman overnight. In fact, maybe it happens more often, but people are ashamed of
it and don't report it.

Are you sure it's not faith? The reason I ask is because there is no way for you to be 100%
sure that what I am proposing might not come true.

Well show me where a change like that has happened without effort,
just one example in the human race. I can point to what people
thought was true for a long time and later had to reject it, so you are
comparing apples to oranges in your new found line of questions.

Here are two that I know of from Greek mythology. I assume you disbelieve these as myths.
Does this not require faith on your part?

Why do you feel you faith is well placed in disbelieving these stories?

Now, you show us just one piece of evidence that the decay rate of radioactive elements has changed over time.

want to take the time, but will, if you don't believe me, and want me
to. I again ha ...[text shortened]... took personally.
You can get insulted and it not go to the level of being persecuted.

God. You are amazing. It's truly impossible to say anything to you without you running off and crying about it.

So in other words you cannot show me an example? If you want to
believe those stories fine by me, believe them, worry about turning
into a woman every time you go to bed. You may apply your faith
to whatever you desire.

So it's mere faith when you don't want to believe something, yet when we pull you up on it you start this nonsense?

I gave you examples from the past. You would need a living example? What difference would
that make, anyway? If I introduced you to a woman who said she used to be a man but magically,
without human interference or surgery, she woke up one day a woman, so what? You could think
that she was lying or just very confused.

The only way that you would have anything other than 'faith' is to have observed its happening
yourself. And, since you haven't observed every human being in the history of humankind, you
can't possibly know that everyone has remained the same gender. It's 'faith' on your part to
believe that you will not wake up a woman (your definition of faith, that is).

Do you see how this applies?

Do you think we got him so frustrated he ran screaming out of his house rippin off bits of clothing, tearing what little of his hair he has left, and is now in a cave shared by a bear and sniveling about god not understanding?
