waste of time
I'm sure this response every bit as entertaining as the rest of our
exchange, but I don't have time to read it.....
If indeed you didn't read it, you'll have plenty of time to do so.
I
post such correspondence on my
site, and so our conversation will soon be
one of the first ever web search results
for "Mike Mynes". Thanks
to
Internet archiving, your performance in
this discussion will be available for you
(and your possible descendants
) to relive
dozens (and perhaps
hundreds)
of years from now. "Let's look up grandpa's earliest mention on the
Internet..." -- ouch!
I'd say I'm sorry you wasted
your time, but then again, that's what you do best....
While I don't doubt that you regret starting this discussion, it turned out
not to be a waste of my time. It produced
- a nice start to a list of issues on which new evidence has changed my
mind;
- an analysis of what's novel about my arguments against
Christianity;
- another name for my list of defenders of Christianity who can't find or
produce a text that answers my challenge;
- a re-confirmation of my willingness and ability to answer all attempted
criticism of my writings; and
- a minor amount of amusement in deflecting your juvenile efforts to insult
me.
Have a nice life, and don't waste too much
of it praying to imaginary white-bearded men in the sky, or on the North
Pole, or elsewhere... :-)
