    This is a dumb argument, mainly because it presumes that God, if He exists, does nothing to prove it. If God does not interact with people who ask Him to, then who's to say He can do anything for us when we die, anyhow ? As such, it's totally divorced from the Bible, but the issue you raise is also correct. Lots of people plan to believe in God when they are old, I doubt that is the sort of attitude that shows any sort of desire to be part of what He has planned.

    I've used VB and I don't like it. I even hate using VBA in MS Office apps now. Having a warning flashed at me everytime I move from the current line to go copy something like a var name from a previous line is really grating after a while. The biggest problem with VB is that it's easy to do simple tasks, but as soon as you want to do something more complex you've got to jump through all sorts of hoops. And in regard to what CG said about downloading VB apps off the net. They have a certain look to them. often use non-standard UI conventions and the GUI is generally poorly planned. Now, before I download something, if the VB runtimes are mentioned, I think twice. "What do you want to do tonight, Bill?" "Same thing we do every night, Steve. Try to take over the world!"

    Christian, it's absolutely ok to drag it into here if he writes you "anonymously", and I know the anger. Just: rebuttal is best served with a cold smile, on the point of a stiletto.
