Arkansas Set To Execute 8 Inmates over 10 Day Period in April

There, now that wasn't so hard, now was it?

What happened in 1981?

Didn't say he was.
Next.

Okay, let me put it another way.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1o being absolute belief, 1 being absolute unbelief, where were you in 1980?
Where are you now?

I came to believe the scriptures were true.

In unrelated events, Ronald Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president and the Dierks Outlaws had one of their best seasons with the Sr. High team finishing 10 & 2 losing in double overtime in the quarter finals of the state playoffs. My Jr. High team went 7 & 1.

First space shuttle flights began that year with Columbia rocketing into orbit commanded by John Young with Robert Crippen aboard as well

His father touched his pee pee.

How did you conclude this?

Years of study.

Before the years of study, would you consider yourself an outright unbeliever?

on the fence.

So there was some belief there.
So the scriptures and years of study can be excluded.

What had you on the fence before that?

I don't know.

Don't you think that's the kind of thing you should be curious about?

Self analysis can be over done.

Did you conclude that on your own, or did someone teach it to you?

Actually Diacanu your questions made me realize (or remember) something I had let slide.

One of the triggering events was reading a science fiction story by Isaac Asimov (ironically a very committed atheist) published in 1978 called "How It Happened".

Cute story.
Do you think it would have resonated as much if it had been Mohammed instead of Moses?

I didn't know that Mohammed had a brother named Aaron?

Wow, one learns something new every day.

Can I take that as a "no"?

I take it by your facepalm rep that you understood what I was saying.
But in case you didn't....
Do you think it would have resonated as much if it had been Mohammed instead of Moses (and there was some other scribe instead of Aron)?

So, does your rep indicate "yes", "no", or "maybe"?

Assuming "no", why not?
Because you're not culturally familiar with Muhammed?

I guess Dayton is "done with me".
I'll just try again later.

Or not even bothered with, in your case.

I don't ever want to hear him crying about anyone else shutting down discourse.

This isn't discourse. It's banter.

Would've gone smoother if Dayton didn't make getting simple answers to simple questions like pulling teeth.
Seems to me that faith that can't withstand some introspection is pretty tenuous.
He could of course prove me wrong.

That makes sense. A sort of open enrollment.

I already have a beard. Well a goatee and mustache at least. Grew the mustache at my mothers request decades ago. Goatee at my wifes request.

Don't forget: he's got a piece of paper that says he's licensed to be a Christian.
