I think that Jesus would reflect the latter category very much.
very interesting, the thought that jesus is ok with a transgendered budahist, as long as, you know, they have a nice personality!

You had me until that line! IMO, maybe more accurately, Massachusetts to upper half of Hudson River valley to the northern halves of most of the northern tier of Midwestern states to Minnesota, then jump west to the Pacific Coast then south to Santa Cruz and Monterey. Stop.

Could you please provide a biblical reference (chapter and verse) for your post? Thank you in advance.

interesting. what if the teachers weren't well enough paid, staffed, or equipped? what if the "teachers" were absentee, too distracted by life-otherwise in an increasingly reward the rich, forget the poor world? oh, vicious cycles...

I love when people quote things from the bible that aren't in the bible.

It was already pointed out that "Give a Man a fish/Teach a man to fish" isn't biblical and that those aren't the words of Jesus.

Furthermore, I want to point out (and have) that he DID give men fish, and only mentioned teaching them to be fishers of men.

The Bible clearly teaches "if you do not work, you shall not eat". So how can liberals justify pumping cash into lazy people? Exactly!

We can discuss that further in the "Religion" forum.
and eat all of your hypocrytical words. Obviously you have never read a word Jesus said. I wish your right wing nut jobs would learn to read and quit trying to make Jesus into Hitler.

Hey, we're there. How else would you describe getting stuck in traffic in front of a car with an ultra-powerful subwoofer?

My wife makes me promise on a regular basis not to get a concealed weapon permit. Bless her heart. She's kept me out of the Green Mile.

yeledaf, I thought i was the only one, try this, If they are behind you just put your rig in park until they start tooting on their little honda horn then get out , leave the gun in your rig (of course), walk back and tell him we are not going anywhere until you turn the rap off, and turn your hat around while your at it!
