The papers are reporting the "christening" of a warship - the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush. Do any Christians take offense to the idea of "christening" an inanimate object whose sole purpose is to take party in violent, military action? I'm not a Christian, but I believe that Jesus was a pacifist and always preached about turning the other cheek and loving your enemy - not blowing them into oblivion. I am not a pacifist - and I have no problem with a new warship having some sort of official naming ceremony - but to call that naming ceremony a "christening" just appears strange & slightly offensive to me. I mean, a warship doesn't have a soul, it doesn't have faith, and it won't be resurrected at the end of time. Additionally, the name of the ship being "Christened" isn't a saint or a man of a noble life - but of an ex-president. Do you have a problem with the term "Christening" being, in a sense, politicized. Your thoughts are appreciated.

A: Absolutely nothing!!!!
Is this funny?
Why God never got a PhD:
1. He had only one major publication.
2. It was written in Aramaic, not in English.
3. It has no references.
4. It wasn't even published in a refereed journal.
5. There are serious doubts he wrote it himself.
6. It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then?
7. His cooperative efforts have been quite limited.
8. The Scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results.
9. He unlawfully performed not only Animal, but *Human* testing.
10. When one experiment went awry, he tried to cover it by drowning his subjects.
11. When subjects didn't behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample.
12. He rarely came to class, just told his students to read the book.
13. Some say he had his son to teach the class.
14. He expelled his first two students for learning.
15. Although there were only 10 requirements, most of his students failed his tests.
Isn't it fun to make fun of x-ianity?

Both communism and Islam are based on lies. Communism caused tens of millions deaths, Islam made one billion people blind. Both are untruth and evil. Communist China practises extreme capitalism now, but still hold communist one-party dictatorship.
