Chef Jim Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 This will definitely come out wrong, and I apologize in advance if my condescending bluntness delivers this post wrong, but, well, they're poor and hungry and sick and destitute and for all intents and purposes, if these people really need God's help, wouldn't he have done it by now? Does he really wait for them to know he exists? Or pray to him? Does God kinda sit up there, looking at these people in need and think "Okay, folks, I can help you, but I need to hear the magic words, okay, people? Someone throw me a frickin' bone here." I kid a little bit, but my question is still valid. I'm not challenging. I'm just curious. 644877[/snapback] This is probably the worst thread ever for me to say this but here goes. That'll be why I don't believe in God and think organized religion is a bunch of hooey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Poobah Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Marty White? If so,...he is the character I am going to visit. When he came home for a break last year, he told me he did that to someone. 644833[/snapback] That's the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kid a little bit, but my question is still valid. I'm not challenging. I'm just curious. 644877[/snapback] it's a great question. i can state why i believe a loving God allows people to starve, die, be sick, and the whole long laundry list of things, but in the end, it is only my faith and my opinion, so my quess is....although you have posted this statement with the utmost respect, it is my response that i suspect you would challenge. and since i don't ever want to be one to start a thread on religion that goes on for 17 pages and in the end, no one has a changed opinion, accept our opinions of one another.....lets end it before it starts. i like too many people on this board that don't share my faith, and i don't see a reason to ignite a thread that cannot and will not end well.

On the other hand, if it was really that important to me, I'd have sought out an answer long before now. I was just interested in your earlier comments.

So what's a little inferior merlot for an eternity. Remember I worked in the kitchen, we only got the leftover swill and were damn glad to get it.

When I was a dishwasher I got all sorts of stuff. As a dishwasher you can disappear more often than you can as a cook. Bong hits and pony Millers in the store room. My dad only caught us once.
