What?! No center?! Then how can there be a claim that the Earth isn't the center? This may be news to some who are trying to get "back to 2007".

The centre of the universe?

My ego is the centre of my universe.
Without my ego there is no universe.

I've known many people that thought the entire world revolved around them. I suppose that there were a few of them that thought the entire Universe did too.

My first priority - to stay close to the Lord and make it to heaven someday.. Next - To live my life to be a drawing to others, so they can also make it there. All the other "issues" really pale in comparison.

Answer to question 2: to allow ourselves to be a vessel for Jesus Christ so others can experience Him. This is were all the issues stem. How muddy is one's filter? Do people see a filtered version of Jesus Christ when they experience you, or do the see Him?

I wasn't asking those questions, just listing the topics that are "hot" on this board... but thanks for sharing. And note to everyone posting here - please remember the original poster's intent/question, despite the fact that even he went off-topic.

P.S. grew-up, I think you missed my point in that "Happy Holidays" comment... but I'm sure we'll have that debate in about a month, so I'll spare you from explaining now.

Here's another one... proselytizing - whether it's good or bad, and whom should do it.

Gizmo, do you have a secret crush on me?!? Surely, I jest.

Separation of church and state.

If this were upheld, as the founders intended, all other issues would not even be in need of discussion.

Keep your gods out of my government, and we'll all be happier.

Yeah, you figured me out! Seriously though, I can't help that we're both online at the same time...
