   You certainly had an objection to it yesterday when you told me I shouldn't   
   do it.   
   My point is that, just as you don't take me seriously when I put forth some   
   prophesy, nobody else takes you seriously when you do it.  Without   
   explaining why that prophesy should be held as something of importance that   
   we need to apply to the situation, it's just a waste of reply.  How often do   
   you slap some part of a prophesy up as a reply that has no bearing on what   
   was being discussed to everyone else in the conversation?  Bible prophesies   
   are totally bogus to us, Robert.  They were written after the fact, or they   
   are so vague that they could mean anything, or they've never come to pass.   
   From an argumentative standpoint, they are a complete waste of time and make   
   you look, frankly, moronic.   
   People want to hear what you think, not what some ancient prophet said.   
   Give of yourself and gain respect.   
   You understand this because you can see how you give me no respect based on   
   prophesy that I've offered. "I just don't see how anyone is supposed to take   
   you seriously if you do not have any beliefs of your own."  That's exactly   
   how we feel about your statements when you just throw out some biblical text   
   as if it has authority.  It hasn't and it makes you look like you don't have   
   your own beliefs, you just copy some from a book.
