You have no authority to command anything. You are not the eternal Creator or Lawgiver.

Let's see now: I am the creator of my son. How much "authority" does that give me to command that he "love and obey" me...and how much "punishment" do you suppose I can dish out to him in case he chooses to defy my commands? Face it, Boxcar...your version of God could never win "Father of the Year".

You miss the point when it comes to religion.

There is no "point" when it comes to religion. It's all a gigantic speculation...and no one involved in the conversation is sure about what he is saying...although some like to pretend as if they are.

Sounds like evangelicals supporting their lying shepherd D. Trump.

Man, talk about fleecing the flock

Sorry...I can offer no opinion here. When it comes to "luxury"...I am left out in the cold.

Is that by choice or is it just preordained?

I know for a fact that it isn't by choice. I have the perfect handicapping system...but the horses refuse to follow it.

I made a big mistake when I used that line here. In my country they say..."Don't ridicule anyone...because you never know what's in store for YOU".

Perhaps you need to show more honor to Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas and of horses.
