Interesting!
I have one for ya.
When I left Springfield I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ.Yes, I do love Jesus.

I'm curious as to how this debate was both heard and understood, since I'm pretty certain ants don't speak english.

Well, if god is omnipotent, as great as the universe, then we are like a bacteria to him. You think he's concerned about some bacteria? If there really is a god, he would wipe up as easily as we wash our hands.
