| | The Apostle Paul says "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified." (1 Corinthians 9:24-27). It's time that I run the Christian faith race faster. | | The Apostle Paul says "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.

| − | P.S.S.S. I was pondering what you wrote above. SamHB, you wrote: "But please lay off the obsession with what's-his-or-her-name at RationalWiki. No one cares. You have much better things to say." SamHB, setting aside that I achieved my strategic objectives concerning that website's great loss of web traffic and now feel a great sense of power and strength (this is often referred to as [[machismo]]), are you telling me that people are more interested in things like a potential global recession, the war in Ukraine, the 2022 midterm elections in the United States, a global pandemic, Europeans possibly freezing this winter, tens of thousands of Americans dying a year due to fentanyl being smuggled across America's porous border and life after death in paradise forever than "what's-his-or-her-name at RationalWiki"? Say it isn't so, Sam! Say it isn't so, Sam! Come to think about it. I think you might be right!

| − | By the way User: SamHB, does this mean the saying, "It is not enough to succeed, others must fail" is wrong? I am part German. Can't I experience a little schadenfreude? Can't I gloat on how Christians are triumphing over atheists on the internet with Germanic-like efficiency that would make [[Martin Luther]] envious? Oh, well. I suppose you're right. That would be the Christian thing to do. Wise King Solomon wrote: "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him." (Proverbs 24:17-18). I certainly don't want to get in the way of the God Almighty continuing to smite the web traffic of atheist websites and greatly blessing the web traffic of Christian websites (see: [[Internet atheism and the coronavirus pandemic]] and [[Internet evangelism: Christians vs. atheists]] and [[Internet outreach and the Matthew effect: Atheist websites vs. religious websites]]).

| − | ::I deleted a bunch of content related to the person you alluded to at RationalWiki. This person is a low-class person with various personal issues that are not worth writing about. Jesus talked about not casting your pearls before swine and in this case, that advice is applicable.

| − | :::As a short aside, to give some context, I just read that this low class, New Zealand atheist was thinking of breaking into someone's house and engaging in criminal behavior because he was afraid a person would successfully evangelize his daughter and that she would become a Christian. Atheism lacks proof and evidence. So he is really desperate. He is like a desperate rat in a corner seriously thinking of engaging in criminal behavior. If he was arrested, that would be really embarrassing - especially if his ex-wife found out because she knows the person who told his daughter about Christianity. In the United States, atheism has a low retention rate (see: [[Atheism and its retention rate in individuals]]). I am not sure what the retention rate of atheists in New Zealand is. In 2012, a study by the General Social Survey of the social science research organization NORC at the University of Chicago found that belief in God rises with age, even in atheistic nations. [http://news.uchicago.edu/article/2012/04/18/belief-god-rises-age-even-atheist-nations] Anyways, this person is very comical. His zany behavior tops some of the oddball characters in sitcoms. Sometimes life is more strange than fiction. This latest episode tops him thinking that he recently died (Barring a supernatural resurrection, [[death|death is very permanent]]).
