It came about as creation.  It exists because it was created.  What method God
used to create the universe, we may never know.

I can and DO deny any 'creation'. The universe exists without any 
creator. It has ALWAYS existed without any creator. Then 13.7 billion 
years ago, for reasons unknown and probably unknowable, it began to 
expand/inflate.

Absolutely, according to the evidence I have.

Actually, it's not the trigger on the gun that's dangerous, it's the finger on

You can NEVER beat me Duke. I was trained in logic and debate by Jesuit 
priests of the catholic religion. Not only am I smarter than you and

I have EVERYTHING!

In my life I never sought the pursuit of material possessions. I was all 
about raising my children as best I could. THEIR happiness was paramount 
to me. Since my youngest is now 23, my work is done as far as raising 
them go. They turned out well. All have graduated college. None were 
ever brought home by the police. Maybe I set the bar low, but I call 
that a win. Now I look around and here I am in this HUGE house with just 
Felony and I living here. I consider moving, but I can't be arsed. The 
house is paid for and I just pay taxes and maintenance these days. I am 
by no means rich, but I have enough money that I will never have to 
worry about it. I spend my days in idle contemplation of my navel or I 
am out fishing. LONG ass days of fishing. My best friend and lifelong 
fishing buddy retired within a few months of ME retiring, ensuring I 
will have company on my 10-12 hours a day fishing trips.
Literally I love being outdoors. The things we get to see, the scenery, 
the wildlife... This year we are going to all new places. There are some 
truly spectacular lakes in NH. The water is so clear we cast to visible 
fish. It's like an aquarium. I really can't think of anything I would 
rather be doing. If I could, that's what I'd be doing. Obviously.

So to reiterate, I have EVERYTHING!

I love hearing of a man of such faith that he spent his whole life 
trying to get close to God!

You mad?

Hey, *I* was brought home once or twice by police...

I'll take that as a yes.
If existence mandates creation and your supposed god exists, why, when and 
how was your god character created?

Gods are all tailored to order. They are made 
to exactly fit the prejudices of the believer.

Truth is truth.
But parsing words is the playground of the religious freak innit Duke.
