BTW. I have been wondering Y you have decided to talk to me again? It's for now. So long as you are civil in regard to sacred matters, and don't blaspheme. Otherwise, as a Christian, my interest in your welfare would compel me to stop engaging you so you didn't condemn yourself, and so that I didn'...

I don't think it will be bought, other than as a novelty or fun gift...even by the most conservative Christians. And it will certainly not be read or used, except for fun.

I suppose that's why so many evangelical Christians here in America will go out and buy Trump's Bible. After all, Trump is a True Christian, right? Why take chances when their very soul is on the line. I don't get your reasoning here. Owning Trump's Bible will make you a True Christian? Reading Tru...

you may find them pointless. But, until you ever begin answering them they will remain alongside your other pointless presumptions here. you find other's beliefs as being meaningless here, yet your beliefs have no more meaning at all. you keep missing the Fact that it is what you are 'currently' be...

How could a rational thinking human beings get a 'headache' just from reading words and/or questions? Most rational people would just give up doing a completely unnecessary thing if it gave them headaches. And that is exactly why I've decided to stop answering all your pintless questions. you may f...

The fact that you are literate enough today to read this message...for that, you can thank the Bible.

Thanks, Bible, but we won't be requiring your services any further.
