Surely experience has taught everyone else - as it has taught me - that trying to debate with Theland is a complete and utter waste of time.
In spite of his numerous protestations that he likes to dicuss and 'educate', he is of utterly rigid and unchangebale views.
He refuses to accept even the posibility that he pronouncements on what God thinks and wants are based on what he thinks and wants, since I don't believe that he has God's ear, or that God advises Theland of his plans.
I have withdrawn from debating theology with Theland, it is frustrating, circular, annoying, and pointless.
I advise any and all regulars to do the same - spend your time more fruitfully, put the things in your fridge in alpahabetical order ...
