I have looked,and what I said is what I think after reading as much as I could absorb. I wasn't challenging the sauropod,I asked if s/he had any other thoughts on it,and implicit,if s/he agreed with me. Depending on the answer I might ask more questions. I think people need to think about what and who we are talking about when we discuss the Bible and God and related matters.

BTW I recommend you read a book called "How To Win Friends And Influence People",you'll find the information he offers much more valuable if you dedicate some time to digging into it. I think it will help you immeasureably more than my advice which would be,"stop stop patronizing me".

You're point is well taken. As I typed my post I reckognized I had an edge to my point. Asking sauropod to defend the stance that the Jewish people are the Chosen People of God is akin to Bill Clinton asking his interviewer to further define the word "is". It's silly and I certainly held that belief as I typed my post. But I did try to soften my edge. Rather than insult you, I made the attempt to encourage you to do the research yourself instead. If that attempt has fallen flat and I've insulted you regardless, then you are correct and I may need to improve my social skills. But that does not excuse you from doing your own research.
