I did it again! I'm getting better at this. (believe, soul, America)

[DaniMae1]

Today at a yard sale that my husband and I stopped the woman who lived at the house handed me a little pamphlet that said on the front "Nothing to hard for God..." I handed it back and said nicely "No thank you, I'll pass." There was a time that I'd have been terrified that they'd ask me why....now if they ask I'll just state the reason as matter of factly....factly...is that a word?

Well good for you, and in answer to your question, Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language mind you, says no, that is not a word....

It's a mental thing.

No. Fact is a noun and can't be verbdlied. Can say "just state in as matter a fact a way as possible that ..."

""Nothing to hard for God..."

Well He doesn't get me excited.

"Nothing too hard for God..."

Ah, well, friends, could he turn this bottle of water, left over from a spell at Tentmaker forum, into wine?

"Of course, but thou shal or maybe shalt notst tempsts the Lordsts the Godsts."

"Surely a soul is worth an answer."

"God does not do miracles at YOUR bidding, my Friend."

"How about at yours?"

"Not even at mine, My Friend."

"Not even to convert an unbeliever?"

"You have free will MY FRIEND. You must believe yourself."

"So, that works out as nothing is too hard for God, but don't expect Him to actually do anything?"

"Co-rect, MY FRIEND."

"Apart from the odd Hurricane or Tsunami."

"Just letting you know he's there, MY FRIEND."

"If he did the water into wine I'd know He was there."

"If you just BELIEVED, you'd know it, too."

"I'd prefer the wine..."

Yes...but a few short years ago I was the one with the stupid beliefs and not too many people know of my turn to "the dark side."

How long did it take for you to admit to yourself the truth about religious dogma?

Hummmmm, I would have thought you moved away from the dark side when you divorced yourself from the mythology.
