@LovinLarge The basics of logic and epistomology. Even if you did learn it at school, going back as a reminder is always good.
@Fernapple That's expecting quite a bit around here. I'm just tired of arguing with people who think their unsubstantiated arguments should be taken seriously.

@anglophone No sorry, I was refering to the god of the bible being internally illogical, did not make myself plain.
@Fernapple Aha!
