^^^ James did say one time that Magnum Steel would be his porn star name if he were to go down that road, that is. 🙂 🙂 🙂

If that is how the music industry looks at him right now, that can change at anytime. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I grew up listening to country music and I’m quite familiar with the giants of the genre.  
So I will retract my judgement that he’s second rate.  
He’s third rate.

Because I don’t go out of my way to be rude to people. If people go ahead and think that I am, that is their choice.

God bless you two and James always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Why do you think it is people’s choice to feel that you are being rude to people?

No, that’s usually up to the person who has no life which seems to be you. Either you have a pathological compulsion to spend so much time here being completely inane or you enjoy seeing the responses you get; probably both I’m beginning to suspect. So on some level I feel bad for you but on another, it’s pretty funny to watch you wiggle your way through these threads. I continually vacillate between pity and amusement. Yes, I’m sure you don’t want or need my pity just like I don’t want or need your blessings. Bummer, huh?

OK there is definitely something going on with you. Thank you for letting me know.

> Consider, to the best of your ability, what a timeless, omniscient, omnipotent being must be like. Now consider by comparison the extremely limited perspective and powers we frail mortals have. How could we hope to comprehend what God is up to? At best we can hope that God has the big picture in mind, and all our ephermal sufferings (however horrific) serve a greater purpose in the long run. Perhaps those that suffer most in life receive the greatest rewards in the afterlife, whatever they may be. Maybe one’s suffering relieves greater suffering by others. Maybe this is the [best of all possible worlds](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_of_all_possible_worlds). We have no way of seeing the Grand Plan, if such there be, and so we’re left to trust that God knows what he’s doing. Such is faith.

> If the Bible is anything to go by, however, you can be sure that whatever the Plan is, things are going to be pretty miserable here on Earth and moreso for His chosen ones. God never promised anyone an easy ride.

But if a Christian accepts ‘God Works in Mysterious Ways’ as an answer, then that puts them in the position of having to accept whatever nonsense an atheist frames with that phrase. I could say to a Christian, "I think God wants Christians to throw out their bibles and just start living a life of treating others the way they themselves want to be treated. I know it is hard for you to understand why he would only tell me that and not just stick to what he had been teaching through the bible all these years. But what can I say…GWiMW.

Can a Christian rebuttal that? I mean, after all, God is mysterious. Who knows why he would choose me to give his new commandment to. Only He knows.
