"God of gods"???? I am tempted to store this passage and through it in every once in a while when Christians talk about their God being the only god. Quite a plug for polytheism! ;-) >Ken Hall > > Since I see the God of the Bible as Jesus Christ and wholly pure and >good and kind hearted, and totally devoted to the good of mankind, it took >me a while to see how you and others were calling him evil. > Please excuse me. So you *DO* see?! Congrats! May be the next posting from you will be laced with reason and logic rather than the rabid fanatical ravings! Christians seem to the heaviest users of quotes from their holy books. Is it because their religion is so absurd that no logical argument can be thought up to justify most of their teachings so the quotes are the only thing the Xtians can whip up? Even communists have something original to say rather than quote Marx, Lenin and Mao all the time. Xtians feel the only basis for their believes is the Bible - that's a poor choice of foundations.... Of course, they *COULD* have used "The National Enquirer" or "Star" :-)...... -- Disclamer: I don't work here anymore - so they are not responsible for me. +-------------------------------+ Don't bother, I'll find the door! | STAY ALERT!
