WOW..this thread has taken a completely different turn!! 
Who knew that the TEA parties would result in a Jewish v Christian debate??
(and the people in Charlotte thought MY post was inflammatory!!)

I'm having a hard time figure out what was inflammatory about that post.

As far as being Jewish though, it does give me some insight. Kind of the ironic type. You know, like your god would allow "his" people (like...what...the others weren't "his", too) which are my people so that 5 thousand years or so later they could practice PERSECUTION,RACISM, AND VIRTUAL ECONOMIC SLAVERY on the Palestinians.
Again, Steve, I'm impressed by god's incredible sense of humor. And lock up those stem cells. I'm sure it would **** him off greatly if we used this basically discarded material to try to reduce disease.
Steve, did you ever ponder the notion that other folks have a completely different notion of god than you do and some have no notion at all....and they have as much chance of being right about it as you do?
Something to think about on your own comfy chair, don't you think?

I suggest you read the Bible if you want answers, as its apparent you have MANY questions and doubts, which can only be answered by Him. And yes, Im well aware of peoples' different notions of God, Im confronted daily with it.  If you want Id be more than willing to pray for you, in fact Id be honored.  I dont want you to think that Im somehow pushing my religion on you, but you seem very confused and very angry about something you seem to know very little about. Dont be offended, please. If you want, I can end this conversation with you if Im offending you, no worries. But if you want to discuss further, feel free to PM me anytime, Im more than willing to chat with you, but I dont want to get too off-topic on this particular thread.
Have a nice night, man.

Does anyone else find it ironic that while Bush spent us into oblivion, the Republicans didn't have the balls to protest and now that a Democrat is in office, they are protesting and referring to themselves as people who have balls in their mouths?

that's very kind of you. Would you by any chance know God's e-mail address? If so, I could get in touch with him personally to have my questions answered. I know he is busy, and all, but hopefully we can arrange it for the two of us to IM each other for a couple of minutes so I can get the information straight from the source rather than have to rely on you as the middle man. I'm dying to ask him how Noah could even stand to be on what must have been an incredibly putrid smelling arc...let alone be able to walk across its deck without being knee deep in....er....biblical lore.
What would be incredibly cool is know whether or not he is on twitter; I'd love to know what he is doing at any given time of the day, you know, like
"Was just about to zap those pirates, but Obama just beat me to it. Fiddlesticks, I hate it when that happens."
"But what am I complaining about : it's not like I couldn't have prevented it from happenning. Ha Ha."
"Just ate a piece of angel food cake and one gooey hot cross bun. MMMMMMMMMMMMM."
"Oh, look, there's Satin walking in. Better beef up homeland security at the ol' pearly gate"
"Cool. I just found out I have more people getting my twitters than Ashton Kutcher does."
GREAT NEWS. Did google search and came up with god@christianheaven.org. But I appreciate your help greatly, Steve.

technically I believe it is ok to do so, just as long as the two of them don't get married.
seems to me that when it comes to having had a Texan in the White House, we would have been far better off with you than Bush.

I just like having my Sunday mornings for golf and Sunday evenings for football. If I go to Hell for that, I would still consider my life to be one that was well lived
