The choice is to accept God or not. I’m sure that dwelling with God is as

You are? Well, dwelling without him is pretty peachy, if you ask me.

I’m glad that you have had a blessed life. Chances are that one day things

But do you see how that’s an unsatisfactory answer? If Larry’s life turns

not bound by) logic, let him show me two people who are simultaneously taller
than each other (and no resorting to equivocation or wordplay, please!)
Dave!
