what are you talking about. Plenty has happened. People are posting verses, poetry, critiques, and even a healthy bit of whining. The thread is a rousing success!😊 My mistake. When you said '& See What Happens!' I thought it was anticipating more than the enthusiasm of the credulous, which is never a surprise. Well, I did get more than that. However, the title is literally stating anything could happen.

Well, people have been posting bible verse for weeks now and, as usual, nothing has happened. It appears as efficacious as prayer. The OP started this thread in response to my post, as follows: I think the OP should have specified that he wanted only theists, and Christian ones at that, to respond. If that is what he wanted. But many of us pesky non-believers showed up anyway... that's what 'happened', LOL! Up to this point, I have stayed out of it, and will go right back to staying out of it. Just wanted to clarify what the OP didn't.

From the Book of Psalms:
34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: Blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Denise Levertov
The world is not with us enough. O taste and see
The subway poster bible said, meaning the Lord, meaning if anything all that lives to the imagination's tongue,
grief, mercy, language, tangerine, weather, to breathe them, bite savor, chew swallow, transform
into our flesh, our deaths, crossing the street, plum, quince, living in the orchard and being hungry,
plucking the fruit.

And you should read more closely. She said "I think the OP should have specified that he wanted only theists, and Christian ones at that, to respond. If that is what he wanted"

That sounds like an endorsement of the "argumentum ad hominem", described in Wiki as "a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself".
In other words, the verse is saying that if you are faced with a reasoned argument against some Christian doctrine, you can dismiss it as hollow and deceptive purely on the basis of where it comes from rather than any weakness in the argument itself.

She said "I think the OP should have specified that he wanted only theists, and Christian ones at that, to respond. If that is what he wanted" I read it. I didn't call her a liar after all. There's just no connection to my intention to what she considered an if..then statement. Not even an implication of it. In fact, I would argue there has never been a basis for it in any thread I've ever made.

Ok then you didn't call her a liar, you just said what she said was wrong when it was clear she had qualified her statement. Got it.

Her statement being crazytalk had no bearing on it being qualified if it still made no sense to say. It may have had everything to do with what you were talking about I guess, but that would be a conversation between you two. But by all means keep defending her from my alleged besmirchment. It's kinda romantic.
