May I remind you that God spoke through Balaam's ass.... so you might want

Not at all. I was polite and did not say everything I was thinking- just as
I am refraining from saying everything that I am thinking now. But enough.
We have disagreed before and you have demonstrated your own proclivities to
accept rather bizarre notions (based, I take it, on your own lack of
familiarity with the issues at hand).

But a question was asked- by you if I recall it, regarding the view of
others on list about the Bible "codes". If you did not want responses why
did you ask the question? Or were you only seeking answers that affirmed
your own position? I am not quite clear why you asked if you already have
made up your mind.

Intolerant? Perhaps. But only of ideas that really are patently absurd and
that waste time. As a list participant I read every post- no matter who it
is from- just in case someone is actually interested in an answer. Some
posts, however, are so assinine that only an answer in kind will get the
attention of the poster.

hmmm.... I wonder what you can mean by this.

Thanks for at least using a real name (I suppose it is- I am not sure of
your name or your qualifications to comment.)
