I inhibit my impulses. My standards of morality would make the average minister cringe in fear, which is why we don't get along. People of the cloth tend to have the lowest IQ and MAT scores of all the professions, which make conversation and other association with them a burden. I do not believe people once lived to be 900 years old. The Bible is a hidiously gruesome brutal document of doubtful historical fact. It has nothing to do with risk-taking.

This is a rather interesting thread, despite no believing Christian coming forward to argue the other side - up to this point.

I am a believing born-again Christian who attends and supports a small United Methodist Church. I disagree with you about the Bible being gruesome. Taken as a whole it's a story of how God created everything in the universe, yet saw fit to come here (to Earth) as a man to let us know who He is, that He loves us and understands what we experience - all of it.

We are about to celebrate His coming to Earth like we all do - through birth. How amazing.

Without my faith I would have nothing to work for or believe in. Those who live without knowing who God is are missing what is the greatest joy one can have. I hope all of you who don't have an understanding of who God is are invited to church by someone who is a believer in Christ and the one true God. If you are touched by Him your life will change in ways I can't describe. Merry Christmas to you all.

Dear RLK,

One naturally fears even to speak with one whose IQ and MAT scores are as high as yours undoubtedly are. I also have no doubt that I, being of so pedestrian a profession ... nay, better a craft, am a burden to associate with. So I will be brief. First, we are all so very much relieved that you don't believe that people once lived to be 900 years old. I will sleep better at night knowing that at least one highly intelligent (and I know this to be true since the trait is self-confessed) testosterone beset individual sees through this centuries old conspiracy to deceive the masses - Lenin was surely right here. Second, I stand in awe of the razor sharp mind that perceives the hideously gruesome nature of this brutal document of doubtful historical fact. You must have sat through a for-real college class where the learned professor opened your gifted mind with this precious nugget of immovable truth. Wow. Why inhibit your impulses when, clearly, you have so much to teach us benighted men of the cloth. Say on, sir, say on. We wait with bated breath.

With sincerity equal to that with which you wrote,
JK

This is perhaps one of "lowest IQ" responses I've ever seen on FR. Dear Dr, GET HELP. Bloviations do not followers make~

Yea, they can't even seem to figure out the error of 900 'moons', being mis-interpreted as 900 'years', so that people in their 70's (while ancient in terms of average maximum age of perhaps 40 in their day), is not abnormal.
