    • On forums white space shows up in a post, thus you need to compact it.

      bad:

      < b >
      blablabla
      < /b >

      good:

      < b >blablabla< /b >
      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
      Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                          Ok, the test has changed somehow (I forgot I posted when this thread was actually new). I am also missing five percent, though thankfully, that 5% was Dixie, so I don't mind losing it. But then I went from 35% Yankee to 30% Yankee and 5% Upper Midwest...what gives?
