So you think that Jefferson was omnipotent ?

TJ's quotes are often egomaniacal. People who quote others just don't seem
to have their own thoughts very often.

Kinda like atheistic bitches who said things that support their beliefs.

Pro wrestlers are often known for high IQ's and their knowledge of
spirituality.

I know my faith is true. It has already been rewarded. Twain is dead, no
surprise there.

That's how ben did it. He projects his blindness on others.

History shows that no people are truly free, what's your point ?

Ahh, it pertains to radical islaamics, thanks

No lighthouse has ever fed or housed more than the few that operate the

I don't dismiss any description of God. I am not as omnipotent as the punk
who cant sign his name to his poorly thought out statement.

Atheism and evolutionism are belief systems that should be treated the
same as Dieisms.

Napoleon was a successful guy. I am not surprised he was an atheist.

risky ... you need to post this sort of stuff under your own name.

I am not a big organized religion sort of guy, but I sure value
spirituality.

It is important to understand that those who pretend to be someone else are
creating their own hell on earth.

You are a coward, risky. Cowardness is not one of the seven deadly sins,
but it is certainly a candidate for eight place.

The only way he can feel big is to imitate another. I think it's a
penis-envy thing.

So you think "omnipotent"(all-powerful) means "omniscient(all-
knowing)?" Of course, he was neither. He was just smarter than you
are. He never played on an internet site that he was sure was cheating
him.

Amish character on Bones last night:

"That's the greatest sin, you know, speaking for God."

Then there's my oldie:

Falwell/whoever dies and meets his Maker and angrily interrupts the
Judgement to exclaim, "Oh, shut up, Gof! If I say this is your absolutely
error-free Holy Book, then that's the way it is!"


You can substitute any other absurdity for the one named.

Poor spelling might be a candidate for ninth place.

Religion is a great business. Years ago I came up w/ a unique idea that I
could've started a cult with and I wish I'd pursued it. I'd have money
and women and maybe a tv show. FML, I stuck w/ poker when I broke up w/
my business partners. :(

I always thought you could make money by suing those that say they are
raising money in the name of god for damages caused by an "act of god".

What about a "transdimentional collection agency"? You could find people
whose previous lives owed other people's previous lives money.
