John, the person who wrote this (obviously not knowing God themselves) left one possible answer off question 4: Met Jesus Christ and fell in love with Him.

Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliever us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever, Amen Matthew 6:9

John, Thanks for the smile. This one goes in the binder.

Thanks for the laughs John!! I know the religious zealots won't find this funny. I'm happy we're living in a country where we have some separation of church and state. I'm sure you know the supreme court recently found it to be wrong and hence illegal for anyone to lead a prayer over the P.A. system at public school functions. Many principals here in my home state of SC have vowed to defy that law as high school football season starts tonight. I wonder sometimes just how far we have progressed from hanging "witches" in Salem. May we have a moment of silence to honor those innocent people slaughtered by the Christians?

Thanks, John. I find this LOL funny.

Glib, somewhat humorous in a patently ignorant way. Commonplace rejection of the pleadings of the Spirit.

-- charles (clb@watervalley.net), August 25, 2000.

This is humor---nothing more. If God didn't have a sense of humor we all would be in deep Doo-doo so lighten up folks.
