I think such people as this guy have earned at least a little ridicule.

You think he earn some ridicule?

Do you know his heart or mind?

Do you know just like you he too is a child of the Lord?

I think we all got caught up over the years in the put down comedy show of one liners that some how we lost our humanity!

don't mean to single you out you are one of many...

In fairness, I think this guy needs to take some responsibility for his condition. No one has been forcing food down his mouth.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I don't think anyone claimed that this guy isn't a child of the Lord. I know that I can say, without the slightest doubt, that he's probably ten times the child of the Lord that I am.

As far as whether he earned ridicule or not, I'd have to say yes. He got himself into that situation. I don't have to care what is in his mind because by the fruits of his labors shall we know him. Of course, if he had labored to eat more fruit, he probably wouldn't have gotten into this predicament in the first place.

Hey, I've done stupid things in my life and have received a fair amount of ridicule for some of them. Looking back, I'd have to say that I earned it. It teaches one not to take himself so seriously, and forces one to reexam his own decision-making processes.
