playing petty games with me......

That's one part that doesn't really jive with me either. What kind of omnipotent God would need (or even find it amusing) to play "petty games"? Or for that matter, why would he need some half-wit human to defend him? No, I'm of the opinion that the followers of P/D/F churches are worshiping emotionalism, i.e., there's pathological need for the emotional self-bashing, followed by emotional prayer, etc. It's an addiction but not edification.

I think a lot of it regarding the "pente talk" is that they, for the most part, have never really learned the true meaning of many of the words and phrases they use. But that sort of thing goes hand in hand with eschewing anything remotely smacking of intellectualism. Logic? devil's deception. Literature? perversion. Science? the religion of HELL!!!
