You did not say anything that says you were not Christian. Everything there gives support for the fact that you are Christian.

Your post is proof that cursory quantitative analysis is not substitute for careful examination of what you think you're responding too.
Consider that a few extra seconds examining what you're rebutting can save you minutes of looking up internet links.
I know, but I thought it would be interesting to point out anyway. Guess I almost put the thread back on track, eh?
No, you just preached to the choir while simultaneously (and needlessly) politicizing it. I can't stop you from doing that, but as the OP I can tell you that's not the actual track of the thread.
Oh, and wink or whatever.

Oh, don't worry. Politicizing things is something that comes naturally for me.

Oh, and by the way, having a lover that you have to be with for the rest of your life even if you hate him/her is not the way. Divorce should be the final option if all else fails. That, I agree. i don't agree that it should be made illegial. If you married to a person that you don't love, what's the point of staying with him/her?

For an interesting look at some of what may be behind it, check the link in the OP of Barringtonia's thread with a pretty sweet article on the value of "slow reading". I don't know if I buy all of it (especially the bit about the iPad), but the overall idea isn't completely without merit.

So...when you "read" the OP, what you got from it...is that you think I'm Christian and that I favor making divorce illegal.
And your Chinese is the crap?

Yes, my Chinese is the language I am bad at. And yes, all evidence from this thread points towards that.

That's because the statisticians did not use prayerful, faith based mathematical models, and also because of the influence of Statan.
