Yes, please post God's job description. I'd like to apply for the job. Who would I interview with? Do I have to wear a suit and tie or can I interview in slacker mode? My 99 weeks ran out months ago and I can use all the help I can get. Thanks in advance.
Ah, you see my friend, the beauty of God's job is there more than one position to fill, you can wear what you like, do what you like, have power over others without actually exerting any energy or force. All you need are some good lines and a string of willing followers. The problem is that despite the fact that technically there could be many filling the position of God (a.k.a. god) there seems to be a corner on the market for attracting willing followers. Only a few have made it to the big show. I thought about trying it once, briefly, but I couldn't come up with the right lines. That's the tricky part!
Also, I suspect if there really is on omniscient, omnipresent God, he/she/it is more complex than anything any human can understand. I think of this god as "Mystery". And I think that position is permanently filled, haha!
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
god's will is whatever the congregation says it is. which is absolutely ridiculous because there are thousands of churches with thousands of preachers with thousands of interpretations of what to follow and what not to follow in the bible. it is a sham. follow it all, or shut up with your selective quoting of it.

I've always had a problem with people who claim to know the mind of God.
I'm not sure how much more mileage Ms. Davis can get out of this situation. Besides the fact that she doesn't have the law on her side, she's not the most exemplary person to be making a stand on this. People seem to be getting tired of her anyway, except for that minority supporting her.
I'm wondering what the future holds for her. Will she become a minor campaign figure, a la Joe the Plumber? Will she get her own reality show? Suggestions for names for it?

Fox News contributor ASAP, that way they can say, "We hire registered democrats too! We really are fair and balanced! Derp!"
Yeah, DINO democrats. She's as democrat as Fred Phelps which is not at all.

she is the 2016 joe the plumber. minor candidates like huckabee and jindal will hold her up as a martyr that was taken down by the big bad gubmint.
how can someone know the mind of god, who is apparently all knowing, yet not even know the mind of their spouse of children? i don't know any of you or your minds. i don't even know my own mind half the time. i would be willing to bet most folks are the same as me. how could any of them know the mind of god?

I’m going to break my own rule to answer this question, which came to me for the fourth time this am:
G: You’ve been silent about Trump and Kim Davis. Are you going to weigh in?
No. This might sound harsh, so be it- I’ll apologize later. If you are a person spending any minutes discussing your “faith-based anti-gay marriage” stance while terrified babies are slipping out of their desperate parents’ arms and into churning, deep, dark waters never to be seen again . . . well, you’re looking at the reason the world has become less and less interested in your “faith based anything.”
Entering into relief work with the refugees = hard. Complaining about gay people getting married= easy. Stop choosing the easy thing and pretending that “defending God” is your cross to bear. God didn’t ask you to defend God. God is bigger than you and doesn’t need your protection. But God’s CHILDREN DO NEED YOUR PROTECTION. God’s children are dying for the hope of safety for their families. Shift your energy to them. Let us all quit acting like we have anything to do with the fact that we were lucky enough to have been born on third base, while millions are starving outside the stadium. Why are some Christians so obsessed with "saving" people until there are actually people who need saving? I would like to suggest that every Christian choose a faith tenant that requires HER family to change and to act and to sacrifice instead of somebody else’s.
So no- you won’t see me discussing gay marriage for the same reason you won’t see me discussing the pros and cons of re-instituting separate water fountains for black and white people. Because it would be insane. We’re done with that. The battle is won. I’m not going spend my time in museums talking to people hanging on to the bad old days by their fingernails.
And about Trump? NO. Not my circus- not my monkees. These are serious times and they call for serious people.
The two most repeated phrases in the Bible are FEAR NOT. REMEMBER. If any of your faith leaders is fear mongering, telling you to build walls instead tearing them down, instead of scaling them to feed hungry people, encouraging any sort of us vs. them mentality…THINK HARD. The Gospel says: Do not be afraid. Re-member. Re-member is the opposite of dis-member. When we shut our doors to our own family: when we are afraid of each other - we are dismembered. The kingdom of God comes when we treat each other like KIN. Like family. When we RE-MEMBER.
Fear not. Remember.

P.S. Guess who else were penniless refugees fleeing a dangerous homeland, trying to find safety and welcome on foreign soil? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

Oh wow, man oh man, or in this case man on man. I'm afraid to even post anything to not offend. Me posting anything is offensive to some. But what the fuck is going on in here? I don't want to add more shit to the pile but "what the fuck" is borderline offensive and Someone calling our president gay and his wife a man ISNT? I'm confused. Look I'm no fan of any "side" and everyone knows that about me hut even I find that a bit offensive. But it is America and you have the right to feel and write/say whatever you want. Now I'll just go back and be a spectator again. Wow
What is offensive is your avatar. Using a parents dead child. Shame on you
It's supposed to be. And I honestly don't care. Trust me, you have no idea how close this situation is to me. And I'm not gonna air my dirty laundry on here, not in this crisis.
BB, it's not offensive (in the typical sense as used here) but sure is jarring. As it should be.
Good thoughts from here for whatever you and yours are experiencing.
Yes, not offensive at all.
I challenge you both Hedo and PJSoul to change your avatar to that of BB for one day.
Or you could, PJfan. Maybe it will feel different when you are inhabiting it.
I have no clue Wtf he's talking about. Why would I change my avatar for a day?
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
Come on, PJfan. Said with sincerity, I can't tell if you're overly buzzed or trying to engage in some odd game, but I'm not playing.
Either be forthright in what you keep pushing at or let it go already.
Simple. Hedo - Change your Avatar to what bb did. Explain why you won't. I personally don't think you will or can for a day.
Tell you what. Since it seems difficult for you to articulate what has brought about this hard-on for an avatar change, how about this...let's keep the weird shit out of this thread. Feel free to PM me if it helps, but don't expect a response.
I don't get what you're going for, but my threshold for assholes is nearing its limit.
All will be well hedo if you change your avatar to that of bb for a day. Show your support in this migrant crisis.
This is really dumb PJfan. Makes no sense. You are making no point yet keep harping on about it. I wish you would stop being weird about the avatar that no one but you cares about.
