    Agreeing with Mrs. Lytton-Vassey, I am uncertain how does that address my question.

    If you were in my class and tried to weasel your way out of a question on the exam by answering a different one, you couldn't count on receiving an A for the class. If you know what I mean.

    Stephen Who? I doubt he is someone to whom we would turn as an authority on religion and science.


    Brother Doctor Professor White is our go-to source for understanding the Bible from a scientific perspective.


    Have you met Dr. White? Lovely man, so modest given all his accomplishments. I heard he won a prize for origami in his youth, but then learned of its demonic symbolism. He gave up the folding of any kind of paper because of his devotion to the Lord; won't even gift wrap a box. Such a sacrifice.

    Mr Dstone, at the risk of appearing callous, it occurs to me that Stephen Hawking doesn't have a great deal of choice in the matter, does he? I mean, given his physical condition, he pretty much has to go where he's taken and do as he's told.


    But, leaving that aside, your little anecdote really hasn't dealt with "Ms" De Barriga's point, has it?

    In the future, I would like to request that, when talking about science, you cite only works which are peer reviewed and written by scientists, rather than things written by random people with no scientific background.

    I remember Spitzer from my Catholic days. He's a priest and therefore has scales on his eyes. He believes he's cannibalizing Christ on Christ's orders. The man is a loon.

    Do we ever actually shove words down anyone's throat?


    I know that we do hit people over the head with the Bible from time to time.* But that is only because people refuse to read it.


    They come here making all sorts of accusations about us and claims about the Bible and time after time, they have not read the actual verses being examined. On the rare occasions when they have turned their eyes upon an actual Bible verse, they ignore other verses that are pertinent to the point they are asserting. This is almost always because there are numerous verses soundly refuting their perspective and only one verse weakly supporting it.


    Let us be frank, haters of LBC, we know that most of the world is in ignorance of the True(c) contents of the Bible and those who are acquainted with it use all manner of tricks to make its words shore up their own point of view.


    This is one of the greatest dangers presented by the Bible. Happily, it also provides a worthy challenge to those who want to shine the light of reality upon it. We, the True Christians(tm) of the Landover Baptist Church community, have taken up our oil lamps, flashlights, candles and flare guns to illuminate the Bible's real contents.


    Don't blame us if the light hurts your eyes. (Or the flare guns singe your delicate feelings.)


    * We don't literally hit people over the head with the Bible. Depending on the inclusion of a concordance and other forms of annotation, that could injure or even kill someone. And the Bible literally directs stoning as its preferred form of capital punishment, not skull crushing with a leather bound collection of mashed, pressed and formed wood pulp.

    Maybe whom'st'd've'ed changed your post was the Holy Ghost, because no one here did it. At least you now have a comment that makes sense.

    Not believing is basically the only sin you need to commit to be consigned to hell. An infant who dies within moments of taking its first breath can do that without trying.

    You neglected to include the word, "please" in the sentence above. As written, it is an imperative statement, not a polite request.

    Maybe two seconds of googling would prove you wrong. The frog is named Pepe the frog. He is not a god, and the Alt-right doesn't worship him. Kek is internet slang for Lol, and both Pepe and Kek are memes. Memes should never be taken seriously, and you doing just that made me lose 10000 brain cells. Thanks
