@John P. M.
I am sorry my attempt to be humorous failed so ruinously and was taken so personally.
I sincerely apologize to you. I have no ill will nor did I have any intention to bait you outside of the topic. However, I would encourage you to be careful when you quote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_quoting_out_of_context I see no reason to be rude. The choice to walk away from the conversation belongs to you. (Although I do appreciate you taking the time to post.)
Here is the rest of my response so that other readers can have proper context. I continue to await your response.
Thanks for your input regarding my behavior. I hope we can do better this time 'round as you surely must be less offended now. Take Care.

I'll have to admit right off the bat that I won't be too involved in this thread; I just don't have the stamina anymore. But I'll try.DG-
I'm sorry you are feeling unwell. Perhaps this will help. http://www.askmen.com/dating/love_tip/sextip17.html
J- Well, since you felt it necessary for no good reason to start off by resorting to this kind of 'humorous' baiting and personalization, I see that I once again have had the right hunch and can safely leave you alone.

You sound as if you are tired of the argument. To be clear right away, I don't believe the Bible to be magical. I would say it best for myself to repudiate the view that the Bible is all inclusive of everything God is. I find it very unlikely seeing that there are many topics which are better understood since the writing of the Word. So rather than divorce, I would be more inclined to use "trial separation" for the time being. (Divorce can be such a terrible ordeal!) I find many aspects of the Bible to be accurate to my faith including many of those that describe God. I would be happy to discuss. Many examples include vengeful, wrathful, angry, loving etc. I am aware of quite a few antediluvian arguments about contradictions in the Bible. (How can God be all Good and kill people?)
I'm sorry John, I feel a bit lost on this next part. Are you asking a metaphysical question? Do you mean divine intelligence? Intelligence can be used to mean so many things. Can you operationalize it for me? I think this goes back to an earlier post that asks if God has a consciousnesses. What do you think? I don't see a conflict and so am inclined to say no, but I've been wrong before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyB5oR2xBhg
Do you believe in destiny? Hope to hear from you!
