It's not lame. It's actually pretty creative. It's just that it's a scary picture. I wouldn't like to run into him in a dark alley. y:O2

I do not feel obliged to believe that same God who endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect had intended for us to forgo their use.

Got that one -- it definitely covers it.

When I got to the end I had to read WLC's conclusion on God's relationship to time only about 20 times before the penny dropped and it made sense. ;)
