I'm impressed that you managed to read that a...Wow. I'm impressed that you managed to read that and write such a thoughtful response so quickly.<BR/><BR/>The only reason I'm still up is because I'm watching the US get beaten by Ghana (that penalty kick was total crap!), but that's another story.<BR/><BR/>I do tend to be a bit hard on myself, so I suppose it's comforting to hear that definition of hypocrisy. So what does that make us if we try but fail to live up to our ideals? Human, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I did consider your points on the whole prayer thing--that is, if God can say no or wait, and if God only acts in accordance with his plan, why bother praying at all? I didn't address it because the entry was getting rather long and also because it would require more thought on my part. This is definitely an issue, but it's something I will have to come back to.<BR/><BR/>I'm still not convinced of the need for scientific verification of religious claims, but I have a feeling that this would best be saved for a future email exchange. We'll have to do that when I get back.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments. Hopefully the US will manage a comeback here so I can go to bed happy for my three and a half hours of sleep, but the US has never won a game where they have trailed, so that's not looking too good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
