But he does have the whole omniscient thing going for Him. I suppose we're saying the same thing from our respective sides of the fence. You're the best gay apostate friend I have, and I value your opinions and feedback.<BR/><BR/>The trick with allowing the blog owner the last comment is you don't want to stop conversations prematurely. By all means, comment more if you like.-L-https://www.blogger.com/profile/02854867259876731599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22877324.post-1155045609856639892006-08-08T09:00:00.000-05:002006-08-08T09:00:00.000-05:00Ah HA!

Vivid tangerine.<BR/><BR/>But when he says no tangerine and my only reason to doubt is that I really freakin' like tangerine and lots of people tell me it's a great color... well, I've tried to be sure that I assess God's will without just deciding that He must be a fake unless He agress with me on the tangerine issue.-L-https://www.blogger.com/profile/02854867259876731599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22877324.post-1154984444574457682006-08-07T16:00:00.000-05:002006-08-07T16:00:00.000-05:00Hey.

I just wanted to push a little bit.<BR/><BR/>You used the color illustration to show that sometimes it doesn't seem to make much sense what God wants of us, but we take it on faith and do it anyway. This is not an uncommon sentiment among people of faith. God knows better than me, we say.<BR/><BR/>I'm saying that sometimes we think God cares what our favorite color should be when, really, he doesn't. I think he's thrilled that we bother at all to notice the many different colors he's created.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940646193920094814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22877324.post-1154979175641963482006-08-07T14:32:00.000-05:002006-08-07T14:32:00.000-05:00I try so hard to be profound and nuanced and just ...I try so hard to be profound and nuanced and just end up coming across as dumb-tarded.
