I don't know what the ratio is but it is notable.Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141432408537488025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-55154075543581129342010-09-04T21:52:09.674-05:002010-09-04T21:52:09.674-05:00Rupert,

He seeks no redemption and does not believe in Hell.Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141432408537488025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-42558907843991393672010-09-03T19:51:29.123-05:002010-09-03T19:51:29.123-05:00Christmas is indeed, but why did you realize it?
...Christmas is indeed, but why did you realize it?<br /><br />God willing, the math tells me I'll be at least 55 on the 23rd.<br /><br />As to Hitchens, you're asking me to read people's minds, which Scripture cautions against (Matthew 7:1; 1 Corinthians 2:11).<br /><br />I haven't read or heard one Christian, anywhere, who says that Hitchens brought cancer on himself. But he will deservedly go to condemnation and ultimately Hell when he dies — as would we all — unless he repents and believes in Christ. It's for that that I pray, as all Christians should.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-42358898755575597942010-09-03T19:44:18.728-05:002010-09-03T19:44:18.728-05:00I just realized DJP.

Do you mind if I ask how old you will be?<br /><br />Questions for folks: how come half of the believers are saying they will pray for Hitchens while the other half say he has brought it on himself and will go to hell? What is the basis of the differing approaches?<br /><br />You mentioned the amount of TV etc. folk who contributed to Obama and the Democrats. Do you feel anger against those people? What about the people and organizations who contributed to the Republicans, does anyone have a right to sneer at that?

Well, that's our story for an unproductive office on the day before a holiday; I didn't say you did it, I'm just saying I'm blaming you. ;-)<br /><br />Seriously, as always, it's worth the wait. I guess those of the liberal political persuasion think it's all about money. If not God, then money is your God. I wonder who came up with that concept?<br /><br />And nicely done on the fam time.
