"...you come across as sarcastic about what i say [though print on screen can admittedly be misinterpreted] ,and rebellious against God."

I wasn't really intending sarcasm, Pete... just reacting to your increasing quoting of the Bible ... as if that proves anything to those who do not accept it as final authority.
The JWs I mentioned read bible verses to me, and I explained my position to them...that I did not accept the bible as an authority... so they said "We'll be back." They did come back in a few days with an older gentleman who had 'more experience'. Guess what HE did.

He read me MORE bible verses!! I had to shake my head in wonder at why they thought lots of verses would get thru to me... and so it is when you tell me things like ' I am sounding "rebellious against God."

No...I am not 'rebelling against God', for that would mean I accepted that a 'god' was in charge. I am rebelling.. or, more accurately, disputing ...certain patterns of reasoning that tell me that I should deem it as obvious that the Christian bible IS an authority.

Pete... the existence of an all-powerful god and the bible as authority IS what is at issue. YOU may believe these things, but for the umteenth time... you do not prove the authority OF the Bible by CITING the Bible. It is that sort of thing that draws remarks from me that may seem like sarcasm.
