Post #227,319 by ben_tilly 9/30/05 12:06:51 PM Reply	Gimme time to type!!! When I am browsing forums, going to deal with my son, and continuing to browse forums, it takes me time to post things! Just because I don't respond to you first doesn't mean that I won't respond! For the record, at the time that you posted this jibe, I was typing up your requested response.

Haven't read your hand-wave yet, but I saw you'd replied upstream and didn't look at active users. bcnu, Mikem It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred.

Post #227,380 by ben_tilly 9/30/05 4:00:42 PM Reply	Look at timestamps!!! You replied about 10 minutes after my upstream reply. If I'm doing something else, I could easily get interrupted and be gone for 3 hours in the middle of going through a forum. If I haven't got to you in a day or so, THEN complain. Anything less than that and you're being an idiot or worse. In case you didn't know, I actually have a life, and responding to everything immediately is not my top priority.
