Did you have a point to make?



You could arrange that, take your wife's nail file or any sharp, pointed object and insert it... You know, if you could weep blood we could have you bronzed and put on a pedestal at the church.



No, but God could have made us finite and contingent so that when we die we are simply gone.

You tend to abstract your way into the ozone a lot, Nums. 



Ontological metaphysics is mostly mental masturbation in relation to our discussion here. You can make a huge, complex semantic confection but at the end of the day you are just as much in the dark about what's true as any of us.  Nice try though.
