RE: [asa] A parable of three investors

TIME OUT. I AM ONCE AGAIN ANSWERING A REPLY TO MY POST TO THIS LIST, YET MY
ORIGINAL POST NEVER WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THE LIST MEMBERS. If this list can't
get my original posts delivered before I start having to reply to them, then
I see little reason to continue here. This is unacceptable as far as I am
concerned.

Most will probably cheer, but this will be my last post. No reason to
continue when most of my replies lie hidden away, never distributed. By for
now.

I do think we need to distinguish between important for God and important
for me. It may not be important for God to tell us anything at all,
including the true theology that everyone assumes this factually false
account gives us. In such a case, we have no way to determine the true deity
or the true theology or the true creator with any form of rational thought.
Religion then becomes one grand game of fideism--I believe it there for it
is true.

My point is this: if there is zero ability to verify anything about any
account involving God's activity, then we are mere prisoners of what our
parents believed, what our culture believes, or what religion we have become
sick of and are now seeking a new fideistic game.

Basically, you haven't responded to my dissection of the communication
chain. WHICH NEVER WAS POSTED!!!

As to why God left Dick and I to argue with each other, the only thing I can
think of is that both of us were mass murderers in our previous lives.
