    I'm going to make this offer again.

    Hi zzigzzag, As you don't receive private messages I want to let you know I've asked Dave to transfer my jack bucks to you for a second time. I'll check from time to time until he does. Mark

    zigzzagg, Thanks. I believe I just have to ask for my points to be transferred to you which I will.

    I'm going to make this offer again.

    I will give my jack bucks to anyone who will bring them up to 10,000 and donate the $100 dollars to the World Food Program. Alternately I would suggest UNICEF. I have about 8,600 points which are worth about $86 but I don't want to waste my time bringing them up to 10,000 here...

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    No. They are worth more. I was was thinking of starting my own church. Then my buds and I can return the charity to ourselves and it's tax deductible to boot. You are still my minister ain't you?

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    Good point Doc. And he never mentioned anything about a Republican form of government with a bicameral legislature , president and supreme court or interstate highway system so those things obviously aren't meant to be. Or you could say God works in strange ways. I wonder what the charitable...

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    I agree the bible is full of parables but it's a bit proud of you to assert that you know why. The point is that it requires interpretation. My interpretation, formally irreligious and unschooled though I am, also agrees with yours about what might be expected of those with means.

    Susan G. Komen and the Hair salon

    gigi, You wrote, "This isnt' about whether Catholic women use BC. A religion doesn't have to change what it believes simply because people choose not to obey it. This Church never insisted on making BC illegal. They simply said, "we can't be involved in any way." " So why don't you think "The...

    Speaking of Irony

    Not sure exactly what you are saying. Would the reply "the dose makes the poison" be appropriate?

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    Well I reject you rejecting me. As I said I can read and but since you are the expert and apparently accept everything Jesus said aren't the rich supposed to give away all their wealth if they wish to follow Jesus?

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    I guess that burden falls on you. For me to know I would first have to believe Jesus said everything ascribed to him but the short answer is no. And I guess I belong to the church of i know how to read instead of the church of tell me what to think.

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    Apparently you can't read with comprehension. God is remonstrating with his people saying "Isaiah 55.8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD." because "Isaiah 57.9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and...

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    First I'm glad you do support government programs but I responded to this ""The one thing I do know is that when Jesus told the rich to help the poor he did NOT tell the rich to give their money to the government so that the government could decide which poor got it and how. He instructed the...

    How are Romney and the Republicans' policies

    Wants to raise rich people's taxes.

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    I spoke both metaphorically about out country and literally about churches. I find the mega churches rather distasteful in generally. The conservative theme here is that Jesus speaks to people individually so why the pomp and circumstances, huge churches and auditoriums with the large screen...

    When Jesus told the rich to help the poor

    good out of context quote - "Isaiah 54.3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Isaiah 54.4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be...
