I see a LOT of people praying for the KILAUEA eruption to slow down....

EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL BE REWARDED. Just keep at it long enough and it will happen and you will have your prayers answered.

Now, start praying for all those limbs of amputee's to grow back. When that happens, please let me know.

person has taken pretty much taken over.
I seldom see anything here I wish to dip into anymore.
It's all the same blah-blah-blah, which doesn't interest me, though is obviously very appealing to some.

















that is not

Both in support of and against religion.

I don’t know who you are referring to. Was it the poster who showed up a couple of months ago and was banned for being a returned troll?

Sure is tough to be them. Gosh, how do they get through the day? I imagine having the lion's share of the power and political influence and having your fingers in pretty much every facet of society from our institutions to our very language helps a little bit. But what I do know.

These admonition forays into this forum are meant to scold, not to engage in meaningful dialog.

I thought I made my point quite clearly. It's why they NEVER pray for a limb to be regrown. They know science can't do it, so they don't bother asking their omnipotent god to perform that miracle.

I wasn't scolding anyone. I was stating my OPINION as to how silly is it to ask for god to stop lava.
