From: Blake Rockwell Do you believe in God? From: Billy Grace Yes is the correct answer to your question! From: Juro Kothari There is no 'correct' answer. It's all relative. It is what you believe. So for you, Billy, a 'yes' answer might be right, for others it is wrong. Juro, please read the question before you disagree with my answer. My answer was perfectly fine and the correct answer is indeed yes. The question was not “Is there a God”, in which case we could debate it til the cows come home, the question was “Do YOU believe in God” and my answer was that "yes is the correct answer" which it is. Please do not flame me when you do not even understand the question!

How does this equal 666? I am coming up with 416.
Since N=50, R=200, O=6, Q=100, S=60, value of NRON QSR is 666.
Not intending to dismiss this theory, perhaps I am just missing something.
Edit to add: I see now, they didn't include the letters that appear more than once in the formula. DOH!

Please do not flame me when you do not even understand the question! Did you read my response Billy? An answer of 'Yes!' probably would've sufficed. Adding 'correct' to your statement could suggest that anyone not believing as you do is wrong. Of course, I said that in my answer. Next time, please read my response to the END of it before replying.  To elaborate a bit, your answer is fine, as it was a personal question. What I was trying to get across to you was the subtle addition of 'correct' to your response. Being that this question was directed to each of us, asking us for our own answer, there is no right or wrong response, therefore, no 'correct' one.

Yes IS the correct answer when I am answering the question. No may be the answer for you or perhaps maybe but what I said was exactly correct for ME so there is still no need for you to attempt to debate the "correctness" of my answer. By your own omission it is the correct answer so I fail to see why you feel the need to respond in any way whatsoever to MY answer.

As a prophet and messenger of God, I assure you that he does indeed exist. Here is just a glimpse of my personal relationship with God.
We sit in my sofa every Sunday (well, he kind of hovers over the sofa but it pretty much looks like he's sitting) and decide which NFL team will win based on the prayers received for that game. It's a really complicated system and one I don't necessarily agree with. However, you try to make suggestions to God for improvements in his systems. Talk about TOUCHY!
Anyway, the prayers from actual players carry the most weight. Prayers from fans have much less impact unless they are from the elderly, disabled or terminally ill. Prayers from owners and those with bets on the game carry no weight at all and are discarded. I would argue that prayers from the players should count less as they have a professional interest in the outcome, but God says he likes the airtime when they win and praise him on ESPN. Plus, have you ever tried to argue with God? Well don't.
We always drink wine. Originally it was going to be water but the "water into wine" thing is practically a Pavlovian response for him. You can't just leave a glass of water in front of him. It drives him crazy and sooner or later you will have a glass of wine. After what I like to refer to as the "fish tank incident" I tried having a talk with God, but he says there are some absolutes in the world and that is just one of them. (See arguing with God.)
The Anti-Christ has come and gone. She was actually a 5 year-old girl named Melanie born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1967. After a few glasses of wine God decided that the whole apocalypse thing was a little too dramatic and sent a bus to kill her.
God hates soccer (or as the Europeans call it, foreskin) and he also dislikes the French. I explained the flu vaccine and cure for AIDS issue and he just mumbled "typical" as he drank from the water faucet.
He really likes plagues and claims the first thing he ever created was a plywood cube.

Can you ask him on sunday to let the Vikings win despite their AWFUL defense?
Mayhap you could also inquire as to whether or not Lee lee Sobieski is really the Maid of Lorraine? If not, I am going to mail her fan club and ask her out. Her great great grampa was the King of Poland or something and my great great great great grampa was the King of Prussia, I think we could make some beautiful, regal babies.

Anywho, I would not suggest you take Alby's place as the hypocrisy spewing bible thumper ad nauseum in here. Especially with Neehai. You will lose the event.

From: Lecktor Hannibal Believe me I have no intent here, just trying to spare you some grief is all. This is simply for educational purposes. There are all types of beliefs and religions..to be knowledgible and educational and discuss certain religions or beliefs is not hypocrisy. To convey information is not bias only being aware. Matter of fact it would be interesting to see what some of the Muslim beliefs pertain to or other religions for educational purposes of course and how they relate or conflict with others, especially the extreme muslim beliefs since we are having to deal with it in regards to War. What we can learn and how they view others. What offends them and brings them to that point of War.

From: Neehai Zapata God isn't nearly as uptight as people think. Wow! We actually agree on something with regard to this discussion. Who knew??? Have any of you read The Sacred Romance series, or titles of that particular genre? They illustrate that relationship with God occurs on an ontological (beingness) level, and not within the confines of some arbitrary behavioral code. Although his responses are clearly of the tongue-in-cheek variety, I think Neehai's really onto something, here.
