If you need an example to follow, follow Jesus.

Oh my.
I'm sorry Mike - you're right, a chair is a chair. She posted in it...she didn't open it.
You're right.
I am going to take a nap now after reading what's been going on here.

Yeah. He fed thousands. He didn't say they have other resources they should go to or that the government should feed them and then bill the family. He just fed 'em.

I do like the goal of being an imitator of God, which is what got me to open this thread. You just have to know what you are imitating...which complicates things a bit as Trout Dude points out. I'm sure everyone who killed or harmed in the name of God thought they were imitating God's righteous anger.

It was merely a matter of common sense, but for others ...that kind of explains a great deal, when it comes to people understanding what someone is saying. Everyone, knew who started the thread ...well, almost everyone, it should have been a no-brainer. But people are quick to respond, often times shooting themselves in the foot, while defending their comrades. LOL

Bullseye, right on target.

Merely a misunderstanding of what kmom meant by "open this thread:" it would not have been misunderstood if she had said, "look into this thread" or, "read this thread." There are a number of threads I don't open due to lack of interest. I almost didn't' open this one because I don't think B F has the foggiest notion what it entails, but I wanted to see the reaction.
