    "When you think about it, thinking about thinking is the hardest sort of thinking there is. Which makes you think."

    [~ Not my 'adage' but I don't know who came up with it.]

    Is there a grain of truth in this?

    That may be true, but not thinking at all is pretty hard too.

    I am plagued with "thinking".

    FMF, you are truly one of the thinkingest people I know.

    Forgive me for all the crap I've laid on you over the years.

    In spite of our fundamental disagreements, I really love the debate.

    You really are instrumental in honing my "thinking".

    I cannot remember you once debating me in good faith. Not once. You just offered the "crap" you mention. So I suggest you take the smoke you're trying to blow up my bum and stick it in your ear instead. 🙂

    Not true.

    Believe it or not, I am one of the most honest of people you will ever know.

    I have never lied to you.

    FMF, it's been a wild ride.

    I seek only the truth. I'm sorry for ever having stepped on your toes.

    Your posting has been predictable, boring and seemingly never in good faith. You are the kind of Christian, I think, who should be working in a soup kitchen or working with the homeless - or some such - and not being a ridiculous ideological yobbo on an internet forum where you make your faith seem poisonous.

    You are mistaken.

    Once you know Jesus, you will never be the same.

    What? Did you wake up from your nap?

    Very soon I will take that extended bathroom break.

    Hopefully you will be less full of it afterwards.

    Which in turn must make you to be claiming that you are one of the most honest people in the world, seeing that FMF could meet anyone of 8 billion people.

    Interesting self image.

    I see you had multiple entires in the “smoke-up-the bum” contest this year.

    I remember when you entered similar sycophantic contributions which you had made to me.
