The truth is that there is really only ONE fruitcake in the whole world. It keeps being regifted year after year. If you get it this year, remember that it most likely once belonged to Johnny Carson who regifted it to Ed McMahan the next year, who regifted it to Kevin Bacon, etc. . . . That’s how “the six degrees of Kevin Bacon” was first discovered.
Actually Two fiddy with shipping.
I'm in.
The usually run about 10-12 $$. But they will last many decades.

So........you actually blame God for such things???
I have not assigned God any blame for actively causing any of the tragedies I cited (the Nazi Holocaust or the Holodomor in the Ukraine.) (Though, of course, a truly all-powerful God could have easily intervened and given, e.g., Hitler or Stalin a brain haemorrhage before they caused any further harm - and a truly all-loving God would most certainly have done it.)
Rather, I merely observed that hope in divine intervention is frequently disappointed, i.e., that it does no could to hope for the intercession of a benevolent God.

Stick with us, Kid, and you’ll be so full of it (knowledge about things) that you could end up being on Jeopardy!
With all due respect....you need to climb into a Bible and find a true, Bible believing church. Your understanding of God, who and what He is and how He works in our lives, happens to be WAY off. I don’t say this to insult; it’s actually very common.
Thank you for not becoming belligerent, which is something I, as a doubter/skeptic, frequently encounter.

Again, thank you for your measured response. Incidentally, what you've said is the same thing many other acquaintances of mine (Jew, Islamic, and Jehovah's Witness, etc.) have said - that I should consult their respective Holy Scriptures. Nowadays, everyone is an apologist for God, and if there were a First Church of Wrigley's, their adherents would undoubtedly likewise advise me to read the list of ingredients on the chewing gum wrappers more closely, and with an open heart, and that I'd find there all the answers I seek.
Regards,
God’s word will speak to you; I’d never presume to speak for Him. He is a loving God, and He gives us free will. There is knowledge in His word, and I only wish you to see it, to feel it, to open your heart to His teachings. God bless you.
