took that test, 15/15, though I might have staggered a couple times if I'd taken that test cold (I didn't check references, but I was prepared for a couple trick ones), and the last one on the "great awakening", I got by elimination.

It was a tad sluggish for me as well, but only a tad. And I persevered. Like Our Lord ... :levi:

You've all never heard of Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God or did you think it was a euphemism?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The infamous sermon by Johnathan Edwards where he explains that while you just kinda suck by human standards,by God's standards you really really blow and therefore you deserve infinite punishment for the utter disgust He feels when He looks at you. Since He is just, He will not punish you more than an infinite amount.

The site must be stampeded by rabid atheists at the moment - keeps timing out. :lay:
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.
