Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.&#8221; (Psalm 53:1)<\/p>\n<p>This man is a fool, and his views are foolish and evil. I appreciate your exposition Michael as an educational tool, but seriously, what a wicked wretch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That was the most extreme comment (and hence the funniest), but there were other, more open-minded comments, too.
