Translate please. Who/what is the "nuclear bomb"? Are you making
reference to a "god"? If so, are you again giving me some vengeful
version of your faith?

Tink, for guys like me, this religion stuff just won't fly if it's
always wrapped up in dire messages of doom and vengeful acts. Who
buys
into that stuff?! Where's the attraction?! Tales of the boogeyman
worked for my Mom when she wanted me to behave, but I outgrew such
silly notions.

Sorry about that, Game on, I should have read all your post before I
assumed game over.

A nuclear bomb is any idea or concept that should not be taken lightly.
You would not take paying your house insurance premium lightly, if
there was a fire, you could lose everything. That does not mean you do
not pay your premium because you can deal with the terror of the
consequence if you don't pay!

If He is who He says He is, then it can never be a casual philosopical
dispute to talk about JC. It is not the hazards that necessarily draw
us to boat in deep water, it is the sheer joy of exploration and
discovery, though some may be even attracted to the hazard.

If you out grew such silly notions of God as being the Boogey Man, then
you would know that He is not the Boogey Man. To live a crippled life
claiming He is not the Boogey Man, but acting as if He is, may appear
enlightened, but the fact is, your life is still crippled to the range
of motion allowed by this particular crippling disease, and your scope
of vision to that of someone who is blind. There is no enlightenment in
this, and in fact, you apparently have not out grown the idea at all
despite your claims. TnT
