BTW, how are those starving Somali women and children doing these days? You know; the ones who diligently pray to Jesus Christ every night, with the pirate thuggos living high on the hog just down the beach?

I guess He's busy here on His American vacation, sunning Himself in the glare of his own holy luminescence. I guess it'd be too inconvenient to go to Somalia and deal with the "sitch" Himself, directly, now wouldn't it?
Somalia is still NH so they will be entering fall, if you can see a real difference in the desert?

Yeah you are right, this xian gawd/jeebus really does sound American But I guess he would be hanging out where he is popular - No?

Oh please do not confuse us with your southern states, we do think we are a bit more intellectually advance than that.

We have 13 official religions, xianity being just one of them.

LoL...that's good my friend. I did not get you confuse, just a slant of words. What is the majority of religious beliefs, lets say the top 5 if you know?
The Earth is really a good measure of what the "Trinity" is; two separate hemispheres but they work as One.

How is the drought down there?

Belief is a choice. There is no proof. I feel sorry for those who cannot believe, since it is such a comfort in the hard times when one can. I know some very intellegent people who think they are so above it all by being atheists, but I wonder what gets them through the hard times?
I'll laugh like hell if there is a heaven, and the atheists are all whining to get in.....but wait, that would just be wrong.

I feel sorry for those who need an invisible fairy king to get them through the day. The comfort that a real person gives immeasurably outweighs that a god figure could ever give. Another problem in your argument is that you assume that your god is the one true god and that belief and worship in that god is what gets you into heaven. There are 3000 gods that are worshipped on the planet. What if Ra is the one true god and you go to hell for not believing in Ra. What if god rewards disbelief and punishes belief. Also, what if Buddhism is true so the afterlife would be one of reincarnation rather than one based on heaven/hell. Then you'll be reincarnated as a lower life form because you didn't follow the 8 fold path.

Well, God wants all His Children to turn to Him, through His Son, Jesus Christ. But not all will. There are Atheist who will turn and be caught up in Christ. But, this you are assured of, that the Kingdom of God comes, as My Father's Will, will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Drought?

Had the wettest winter in a long time. all our dams are full. I am sure you will attribute that to gawd - nothing to do with antarctic cold fronts coming in?
