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 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.
