Considered "important" by me. ;) But moral/aesthetic questions aside, I'm curious how you consider untestable questions like "is there a god" at...
You do realize that this is, by definition, a self-fulfilling Biblical prophecy? The Bible contains a prediction that is later found to be true -- IN...
