We aren't discussing 9-11.

And?

Their devotion to killing Americans.

Really? Just when did that happen?

Good grief you are an idiot.

No, they have in mind the love and healing of God's hand.

Really? How much money have I been suckered out of?

 RS> How much have you given your church?

How much what?

I get 100 fold in return.

You have yet to show where that is "blind hysterical belief."

 RS>>> Unless you actually have anything to show any of us...

 EH>> Who's this "us" you speak of? And why should I show you anything?

 RS> Us is anyone who doesn't subcribe (sic) to blind belief.

I don't subscribe to blind belief.

It does? Maybe in your fevered little mind.
