    The thing that really bothers me is the fact that "God" makes such bad judgement in picking the people that he 'talks' to.

    He's supposed to be all knowing and all seeing, I guess he has to work on his character judgement skills?

    Well, one thing I do know is, although the religious leaders might really
    hear voices, they are not from the Almighty.

    I thought Richard was a nickname for a girl...lol. Just goes to show how gullible we are Richard. Better say a few extra prayers tonight, those were not nice things to say about God...
    Seriously, what makes us so gullible to some of the posts we read on forums?
    Human Nature I guess....

    ole RICHARD can say just about whatever he wants to ...

    shepgirl, RICHARD also use "God" in parentheses...meaning kind of tongue in cheek...where people/religious leaders seem to BRAG that God has told them that this dead lady on the toilet will be raised to life...well, heavens, it always seems to be borderline cases that fall for this.

    (remember the poisoned kool-aid that a whole cult decided to drink because of what their leader said? Jim Jones, was it?)

    I would say in this case it has less to do with being gullible, and more to do with mental illness.

    I have a button that says, "God, protect me from your followers."

    Nuff said.

    That's disgusting!

    But I have a question, if that was their only bathroom, when they had to go, WHERE did they go?
