Reply: That's nonsense! I never intended to make Matt look like a hypocrite. I simply answered his question on the theory of the universe, and then asked him a question... which was not a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy has a deliberate flaw in its structure. The only reason you consider it a fallacy is because I design the questions to make you think outside your comfort zone.

Reply: So for the 2nd one, people deliberately turned their head because they where tired. That response bothered you so you ended it on a joke " So, god is a couch potato. :)". I guess you are saying the people, who did not get on a boat to Haiti, to help innocent people, are "couch potatoes", or for a better term: lazy. And yet those people still exist, although they did not do a humanitarian deed.

Reply: And I responded to them; and yet when I asked you questions, you get uncomfortable about it and make little jokes to get the spotlight off of you. I don't know why either? Being spiritual person in a place full of socialist (who are more often than not, nonbelievers) means I'm the minority on this subject... and yet I feel no threat in saying there might be something in the subject of god - but never classifying myself to any specific religion.

Have a good day snip
