I'm pretty sure it's the swallows that return to Capistrano, but I take your point.

That's great. I will use that when my dog craps on this "mullah" neighbor of mines lawn. He gets upset.

I am just going to ask him if he knows that God can inspire animals. I will tell him he might want to check into how he is living his life because I am sure God is sending him a message through Kaisa.

So why would a wicked person be "inspired" to suddenly go visit person X at a crucial point in time, or do abruptly discard Plan A and go with Plan B, and other examples that we've heard time and time again?

It seems that such an individual would be all the more confused as to what is right and what is wrong, if he has God at his side (so to speak) in times of doing wrong.

No, God does not dwell in unholy temples. What santos told you is bull. That silly radio analogy was thought up by people who needed to rationalize their guilt after reveling in wickedness.

Choose the right, or God will not work in you. No exceptions.

I should have known you were too high society for my "Dumb and Dumber" reference.

Tell him God inspires your dog to do it on his lawn rather than his carpet; for which he should be truly grateful.

So why would you assume that a God who is supposedly omnipotent would ever take an interest in your welfare? You honestly don't see the arrogance?

Maybe I missed your point and should be clear on what I said to Indy. While I don't think God answers every prayer and is interested in everything you do, I do believe he has an interest in your welfare.

I believe we are his offspring. As such, he would have an interest.

Dumb and Dumber? That was Verdi, right?

I don't know if God won't work in you, but I would agree that "your God" wouldn't.

I thought it was good goat. You have a rapist wit.

If he does take an interest in our welfare, that would be cool. It just doesn't make sense to me why he would. If I were an omnipotent being, I think i would be bored by humans.
