What are you talking about? You're right here. Now we have to change the name of the forum to Theistforums.com

Wolf is going to hate that. Registering a new domain... he already put in a lot of work to the site. Maybe we can just look at the current name like it says atheistforums.com...

as in "a theist forums"

there you go, wolf. no extra work on the domain needed thanks to your friendly neighborhood pickelledeggs

Stromboli can opress God.

Information can be acquired with a little effort. If you feel oppressed because we don't want to waste our time spoon feeding you information when you can do it yourself, well then grab a crying towel.

I think you mean The Bronze Age Goat-herders' Anthology of Campfire Tales for Boys: God's Little Instruction Manual for Handling Slaves, Sex Slaves, Kitchen Help, Naughty Offspring, Babysitters and the Soon-to-be-extinct Tribes Next Door. Now with The Egomaniacal Hippie and His All-Boy Posse Hang Out in Palestine.

Eru also called Ilúvatar ("Father of All") didn't write The Lord of the Rings. He provided the guidance needed by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien to write it. The Old Testament more commonly known as The Silmarillion was edited by JRR's son Christopher because his father received the Gift of Men (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_of_Men) and his spirit left this world of Arda to be with the Father of All.

It's important that we keep these things in perspective. Middle-earth canon must be preserved as Tolkien recorded it. Otherwise we will eventually end up as a disorganized collection of cults with differing set of beliefs like the Christians or Muslims.

Enrique Iglesias?
So Jesus has a gay lover that he's creating on his wife with?

Unless you're talking about a different Jesus...  In which he better be single. It's not nice to lie to your wife.

Yeah, pretty much. This means in my case that if I have a vivd sunset, somebody in a Potash refinery West of Elko, Nevada is breathing dirt.
