that one freakin' line drives me CRAZY!!!

i come from a long line of ministers and heretics and i've gotten into more than my fair share of theological arguments, but they all seem to come down to that one cop out. over and over again i've listened politely as supposedly learned men have tried to "teach" me the mysterious ways of the lord and i'm not letting 'em off so easy any more.

now i realize that you are probably no biblical scholar, but don't you realize that merely saying that we can't hope to understand the mind of god is pretty much like saying "once upon a time" or "and they lived happily ever after". if the outcome is known beforehand (by man, god or plankton) then that outcome is predestined.

no ifs, ands or buts about it.
