Re: ginnieb - thanx for stopping in

I once stole a blouse from a store in NYC when I was 16..maybe in America that is punishable by death...as long as it's not my own.

Did I say that?

I fear no religion at all..

...can save this world. No wonder people have so many opinions and ideologies concerning religion because power and money rules this world today. Forget about religion, there's not a religion in existence that can help us put humpty dumpty (our government) back together again. I am so disillusioned by this government that I find no words to express what a losing battle it is to fight these powers:(

ginnieb - thanx for stopping in

I often wonder how people can say that Jesus died for "our" sins when the religious distribution in the modern world is considered. Only about 30% of the planet's populace today are adherents to religions that believe that yarn. Are the other 70% simply out of luck? And as you mention; who asked him to do that? Personally, I don't have any sins that are worth dying for on my record. I stole a squirt gun when I was 7 years old and lied a few times as a young man implying promises of marriage but are any of these things capitol punishment offenses?

Fantastic post gome!

YOu are so good at being diplomatic! Wish I could write/think that way. There is an interesting, though annoying, phenomenon at the Milwaukee airport...it is full of prophets! Usually positioned at both sides of the airport, so they can get ya comin and going, these men and women wave pamphlets in front of you and ask if you know the true Christ and if you want to know more. Once, a few years ago, I shook my head when one of these divine people stepped in front of me to speak. I was then trailed by the guy who shouted, "Don't you know Jesus died on the cross for your sins?" I so wanted to holler back, "And did I ask him to do that?" I didn't though...I just mumbled that he should leave me alone..I'm a chicken.
