To: NYer
We do know that God has called us to proclaim the Good News to our brothers and sisters here on planet Earth. Anything short of that becomes a distraction that deters God's purpose.

In all due respect NYer, you know that isn't true. There are millions of different types of missions that God calls His children to.

People who care for others who are elderly, ill or infirmed; firemen who save lives; men and women who teach others the Word so that they may spread the Gospel; doctors and nurses who are called to serve; fathers and mothers who raise Godly children; theological scholars who study God's word so we might all increase in our understand; people who run orphanages; military men and women who defend our democracy/republic...the list goes on and on!

I think we have a duty to seek God's will for us but I think you and I would do well to let others serve Him in the way they believe they are called.

Indeed, that is what I was referring to - "Love your neighbors as yourself". And how do we do this? As living examples of Christ's word. As St. Francis of Assisi said: "Preach! If necessary, use words.".

I think we have a duty to seek God's will for us but I think you and I would do well to let others serve Him in the way they believe they are called.

So, again I ask you. Do you believe that freeper Quix has been called to turn our attention to UFOs and aliens and away from God?
