Boaz, it's just a story.

It is not "rubber meets the road evangelism" - even with the capital letters you gave it - it is just a story.

It is an allegory, invented for the purposes of moral instruction.

It is a metaphor, illustrating the folly of, and punishment for, deception.

>>Now.. you might be temtped to criticize the Almighty here.. but I'd think twice if I was you<<

Why on earth would an atheist be tempted to do that?

>>A point to note... it was GOD...who did it..not Paul.<<

Are you really sure about this? Temporary blindness can be induced by a second-rate hypnotist - you've probably seen them on TV - or occasioned by a form of hysteria.

You are clutching at straws here, Boaz, presumably to distract from the fact that you addressed none of the points in my last post.

Except for thanking me for something that I patently did not do:

>>Dear Pericles.. thank you for confirming what I said: I don't abuse PEOPLE<<

If you believe that is what I confirmed, then you have your self-delusion volume control turned right up to eleven.
