lol. yep. is that a thing it does?

It do. Stops shouting. If you type all caps, it gets automatically lower cased. (At least, it used to)

That works just fine. It's the ALL CAPS all the time that triggers the haircut.

One man[']s blaspheme [sic] is another man[']s free speech. I'm not blaspheming your god if I don't believe your god exists. When I say it's a fantasy, I'm affirming my belief that your god doesn't exist in reality. Are you saying that those of us who don't believe what you believe, who don't believe in the reality of your god, are not allowed to say so?

[JimL]

anthropocentric: man-/human-centred. God has no place in your world view.

The concept is incoherent in and of itself. That we are all imperfect, i.e. all sinners, created or not is a given. That we are redeemed, made perfect, and rewarded with eternal life, for believing in that which we don't know to be true is ridiculous.

It's like if you don't believe in Santa Clause, do you spell that with lower case?

And if you misspell Santa Claus, does that mean you are disrespecting St. Nick?
Coal in your stocking next Christmas!

It could, or it could make you a weirdly festive devil-worshipping occultist.

Why Billy Graham's Casket Was Built By Inmates at a State Prison

Excellent question! Explored here...

If they have inmates making caskets, the prison guards better be sure they are doing a roll call often.

This prison has a bunch of remarkable stories...

The Louisiana State Prison was once known as "The Bloodiest Prison in America" until Warden Burl Cain arrived in 1995. Warden Cain opened the door wide for Christ and the rest is history.

I actually had this in mind when I was talking about the moral decline in America, and the school shootings, and stuff like that.

Jesus Christ has changed hundreds, if not thousands, of lives here in this maximum security prison.

Your time would be better spent teaching a herd of pigs to sing the Hallelujah Chorus.

I never got that.... Jesus is a proper noun, but some atheists go out of their way to spell it with a lower case j, same with god vs God, as if that somehow validates their unbelief. It's like if you don't believe in Santa Clause, do you spell that with lower case? (But, then again, this is JimL we're talking about)

Can't ever recall spelling Jesus in lower case, but I drop the case on god fairly often, usually just to emphasize the fact that as a non-believer, my ideas about your god differ a good deal more than mere capitalization from your ideas about your God.

To me, your god is an idea, and ideas exist, so yes, Virginia, but there's still no Santa Clause in the Times style book.

Perish the thought.

Obviously I disagree, but I don't necessarily find this offensive. I'll continue to capitalize God, and if somebody else decides not to,

I never see in you the contempt for God that I see in certain other posters.

JimL is a notoriously bad speller anyway so I don't look for any hidden meaning in what he's saying.
