Do you ever see the good in people, Jimmie, or do you only, always, see brokenness?

No Jimmie, I see a world where survival is tough enough even when humans work together to survive. We as a species are capable of great love and hate. In many cases, there are scientific explanations for our good and bad behaviors. We have evolved as a species to better supply our needs and morals. We have clearly outgrown the morals of biblical times. When was the last time you told a women to keep her mouth shut in church? Have you ever sold a daughter to a rapist?

Seriously Jimmie, you need to open your eyes and use honest common sense.

I gotta know Jimmie, if given the option of giving up heaven to prevent one of your children from Eternal Torment, would you do it?

Such behavior was sanctioned in OT times, supposedly by the God they professed to believe in. Jews and Christians no longer believe that, do they? Humanity has grown up some.

Watching it all unfold on Fox and CNN. He does not understand yet that good news of any sort is not headline news, although good things are happening all around him if he cared to open his eyes and look, he would then realize the bad news that he's attracted to makes up very little of the real world in comparison to the good happening around him. So to appease the likes of Jimmie, at the end of the news they throw out a little feel good story, but not until after they have portayed the world to be falling apart.

Why can’t you discuss things without the personal jabs? Seriously, lose the hate, man!
