  • Great leading questions and, as usual, herb explanations given by Stephen Meyer. (I extend my condolences at the passing of your father.)

    Steven Meyer, as you go into your discussion/debate which you spoke of toward the end of the conversation, I suggest not describing God as taking a risk. He gave us free will knowing perfectly that we would sin.

Erasing Sex & Reality: The Tickle v Giggle Case | Sall Grover
