>> This is one of the reasons I have come to feel so bad about being a

>> The thing that gets me is that Matt is probably a really nice guy, a

>> It makes me angry when I read his glib responses to you and others

>> Sorry for the length of this post and all the emotion. It makes me

Squirrel.. Wow such christian love matt...again you do your god justice. You have earned a place in my trash folder from here on. Shame, I really wanted to see you get your ass handed to you in the ezekiel debate. And Matt, save your garbage for the brianwashed sheep that think like you do. If you can justify the killing of anyone because your deity thinks it right, than you are a sorry human being, and desevre no less than what you believe your god has the right to do. Think about it.
