That's kind of a ridiculous statement. How do you know for sure that there have never been faiths held by handfuls of people that did not extend beyond those handfuls, and died with them?

I don't think that was God talking to you. Sounds more like too much Arbroath Smokie. Or Curry.

Good point. I retract that part of my statement! Or I will rephrase to "every faith known to humanity that existed - besides those numbering in the small handfuls".

In other words, every faith known to humanity that has taken root and flourished (since you are now excluding the ones that did not take root and flourish) has taken root and flourished. Impeccable logic. :p

That is why when I was in the classroom my students never did that well in English/Language Arts. It seems my skills have not improved since then.

I don't think I will any longer use: "take root and flourish" unless I'm speaking about my back yard. The phrase has lost its magic!

Wow... Are we sure that this user named "God" was responsible for the script?

The messages that popped up for me seemed to be Christian fundamentalist and they occurred right after this guy opened a thread and invited comments. His responses appeared to be more irreverent than fundamental.
Could someone else have used the opportunity to push their own agenda or to prove their mastery of stupid human tricks?

I have seen this kiddy crap before in other forums and more often than not, it was a setup by another member.

On all this talk about faith. A faith that we all seem to have in common is the faith that this dang device will soon be delivered unto us sinners and saints by a higher power that we are powerless to control...

Nokia. :p

My favorite weird-result studies have to be the ones where they get people to pray for plants to see if it has any effect on them. The weird thing is that many of the studies report positive results.
