       I've read and have little problem with the Koran and the Book of Mormon   
   as well as the Bible. I've read the Satanic Bible too, and have my opinions   
   about all of it, like with the animals, and you would disagree with all of it,   
   like with the animals. But even if you tried to discuss it you couldn't even   
   get to the first step imo, like with the animals. Your limitations don't make   
   me   
   feel stupid Goo, but they sure make me wonder how stupid you really are.
