It's just that in my opinion, believing that God is good requires one to give up some other beliefs about God doing magic tricks on our behalf. I'll probably have to post some more about this on my blog soon.<BR/><BR/>In related news, I think it would be smart for me to take your blog off my feed reader for a while, cause right now I'm obviously just a little too reactive to ideas that I find nasty. I'll try to come back later and say what's up. Like I've said before, I think you're one of the few people in the Fair Mother City that thinks clearly about church and the local poverty culture, and so I'd hate to lose track of you.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you're feeling sick. Hope all of your people get well soon.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980181582122445265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-37450857744506794742008-02-08T23:54:00.000-06:002008-02-08T23:54:00.000-06:00that's "...you'll WIN me..."that's "...you'll WIN me..."Agent Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722186597399802204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-52571527477901249692008-02-08T23:53:00.000-06:002008-02-08T23:53:00.000-06:00Matt - who's baiting?

That's drive-by to me.<BR/><BR/>You appear to be just a watch dog, combing through people's blogs for a brief sentence or two that goes against your "god is bad" mantra, then letting us have it.<BR/><BR/>I don't have anything against your belief(s). Share some kind of fruit or testimony to these beliefs, then maybe you'll me (and others) over.<BR/><BR/>I'm serious: enter a discussion if you don't agree.Agent Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722186597399802204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-9035571950827721782008-02-08T23:04:00.000-06:002008-02-08T23:04:00.000-06:00Fiiine.1.

"He is more or less stunted emotionally as a five-year old."<BR/><BR/>That's what "retarded" means. Stunted. <BR/><BR/>2. Please quit with the "drive-by, intellectual wanna-be" name-calling. I *am* an intelligent person, and I am not afraid of you. <BR/><BR/>If you really want to argue about providence, then I'd certainly be willing to do that. I just don't think we'll get anywhere. You'll appeal to the Bible, and I'll say you can't use the Bible that way, and we'll be right back where we started.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if you don't want to argue about providence, then geez, quit with the baiting, or at least quit getting pissed off when I occasionally take the bait and drop in a barbed comment.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980181582122445265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-5094767617721173772008-02-07T16:21:00.000-06:002008-02-07T16:21:00.000-06:00matt - 1) Coach K is not retarded.

Sorry if my description was unclear.<BR/><BR/>2) Yes, it is silly of you for trying to point these things out over and over. I am intentionally jacking with you here because I think I know the thought process you possess: "you can't blame god for the good without blaming him for the bad too".<BR/><BR/>Well, that's a huge discussion. One I don't agree with, primarily because of james 1:17 and ALL of Job. And I choose to thank him for the good. And I try to ask for help through the bad, not blame. I know you have your own thoughts on this subject. Good.<BR/><BR/>3) A person or persons are put in the journey of my life as agent training: I'm sure that's not their only reason to exist.<BR/><BR/>I mean, they were not placed on earth for MY benefit or amusement. They have their own callings, etc. But god used our brief or lengthy encounters for my refining, so it goes.<BR/><BR/>Coach K is one of my best friends and we'll be there for each other until one of us dies.<BR/><BR/>I am weary of your cynical, drive-by, intellectual wanna-be grenades.<BR/><BR/>Enter a discussion.
