Good luck with that attitude.
Thanks. Apparently, I'll need all the luck I can get in this world.
"Luck" isn't a real thing. Didn't anybody tell you?

I like the irony. He's already gloating over your supposed fate.

You mistake my tone. I'm not gloating. I'm hoping he is aware of the consequentiality of the decision. He seems rather flippant about it...and that seems to me rather unfortunate for him. I would rather he'd be more serious about his prospects, for his own welfare.

Yes. It does sound like it. I don't know who is angrier at me, God or IC.

I'd be careful with IC. People who are like how he comes across here: They know not what they do. I would guess he probably thinks he is trying to help you towards your salvation, while other things are going on, really.

Yes. He's a big "help".

I'm quite amused by people like Iwanna. They remind me of a line from Oscar Wilde: “Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.”

I can't wait to hear about these "other things going on." Lovely.
