	Saving yourself from on oncoming train is quite a bit different
	than saving yourself from eternal damnation.  God wants to save
	us because he loves us regardless of whether we care about
	ourselves or not.

I see... God condemns us all to eternal damnation and then turns right
around and tells us that he loves us.

This reminds me of the line Clint Eastwood used in "The Good, The Bad
and The Ugly".... "Such ingratitude, and after all the times I've saved
your life."  It's the same principle.  Ken's God is heralded as a
savior because he saves us from the punishment of God himself.

If he REALLY loved us "regardless of whether we care about ourselves
or not" then "He" would take steps to cleanse even the most vile
sinner of his faults.  Clearly (according to the teachings of Ken
Nichols) God will NOT do this.

Stop contracdicting yourself Ken, it makes it all the more difficult
to hold a...``conversation'' with you.
