Re: Mind's Eye Re: I , an atheist

Allan , I am not claiming to be an atheist , I am only admitting that
due to my beliefs I might appear to be so. As for challenging God to a
duel , I think you either have not been following my posts or you have
failed to understand me.When, whatever I think , feel and do is
according to God's will , I don't see how I can deemed to be
challenging Him. But , of course, if you are God I could be
challenging you and I agree with you that there is no need for you to
accept my challenge.
