#1 - Punctuation. #2 - Take a look at some of the language in Scripture. #3 - Based on the Biblical narrative, the Deity cares more about how you treat the working poor than what adjectives you use. #4 - The rapture idea is a silly 19th Century invention by a hysterical Scottish teenage girl promulgated by C.I. Scofield who deserted his wife and scammed U.S. fundies for decades. Now go tip someone.

Now go tip someone.

I'd prefer to feed the hungry, say someplace like Haiti?

Took this photo down there. Most of the people working down there on the "Wells of Salvation" project are the "fundies" you were bad-mouthing. They reduced the infant mortality rate by 1/3 assisting the locals drill wells for clean drinking water. I'm nobody special, and a pretty bad Christian, but the "fundies" are the ones I find when I get to the places that ain't fun to be in, not the social crusaders who have abandoned the gospel.

#1: Punctuation.

Remember to practice what you preach, reverend. What you typed was a sentence fragment.

#2 - Take a look at some of the language in Scripture."

"9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grape vine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."
--James 3:9-12 (NIV)

#3 - Based on the Biblical narrative, the [Lord] cares more about how you treat the working poor than what adjectives you use.

I agree with you that Jesus cares about treatment of the poor, but that does not give you license to curse.

#4 . . .

Any discussion of the so-called rapture would be enormously long, so I'll leave that alone, but I do agree with you.
