Where in the Bible does it say to take the world by force and make everyone believe what you believe? I seemed to have missed that line in Bible school. I do seem to remember something about many would be decieved by the antichrist. Also something about lilies of the field not fretting about what they are to wear, which to me seems like all one has to do is trust God and do the next right thing. Nowhere did I see anything about trusting man or the world. But since the Republican party has decided to wear their religion on their sleeve, "the Word" has become the words of whoever is in power (ie: man) and is touted as the word of God. Who ordained those people as spokespersons for God? Are we not still waitng for the return of the Christ? Or did you get tired of waiting?

Or are you amused or offended by racial humor in general?

I think racial humor can be hillarious if gone about in the right way, and I think Dave does a good job of it. Every group has their quirks that make the fodder for some great jokes.

Blessed are they that can laugh at themselves, for they shall never stop being amused.

I am just curious about this. I don't want to get involved in religous debates. I just want to know is this a career-or occupation where they earn salary or is this more like volunteer work?

I ask this question because my class was having a discussion about slavery times and how the lighter toned people were treated better than dark toned people. I just want to know your views on that, PLEASE.

Or, life is about overcoming obstacles? Obstacles in childhood, adolescents, young adulthood and adulthood? Navigating through an unforgiving, cold world? Isn't this really what life is? You can be positive and do all you can to make your journey through this life more pleasant, but aren't we all just overcoming obstacles only to have something else get in our way?

Oh, and please do not give me a religious answer, I am a christian but, I want an answer that reflects your personal opinions on my statement. Thanks

In the Bible, God impregnates a 13 year old and then doesn't even offer to marry her. Then he says 'Hey, I'm God and I make the rules: You're still a virgin.' He never pays one penny of child support, and lets another guy parent his kid.
It is not recorded that he pays any attention to his son at all until the poor guy is over 30. Then god sends the boy to preach an unclear message with no proof behind it (which his dad could easily have provided) that directly results in him being crucified (and his dad doesn't help him out there either). Then, after the poor boy has died horribly, god absolves himself of responsibility and raises his poor son from the dead, "Hey Kid, sorry I wasn't there for you, but I'm god and now it’s all fixed."
Is this the behavior of a responsible parent? Is there a cosmic social service we can call, or is this god guy above the law?

For those who do have disabilities, just a question anyone can consider. Plus a challenge question for those who were always told that they were inhumane because they have a disability.
