Dear GothChrist777,

The truth is that all people's {all 'children} are concieved Not Knowing Things...not even how to walk or speak

breathing ISN'T a difficult thing
people are not Un-Intelligent
...given that Consequences for a "mistake" are kept generally 'small'....a person will grow and develop ("learn")

See, .. I put A LONG time for searching for GOD
I had my "little" proofs that he existed
...
let's just say that this is a FREEDOM OF CHOICE EXISTANCE

"The World Hated Me First"

you don't really expect GOD to seek US out (given the fact that we are born a little foolish and generally all have "ATTITUDE PROBLEMS")

you belive in God, Have you Ever Met Him??? Cause I have...and although I am a REALLY GOOD KID...well, Let's Just Say...although GOD LOVES ME...He WUZ MAD at Me...I did have an ATTITUDE PROBLEM

i kept searching for God...I had to apologize for being SO ARROGANT that he wuzn't put on EARTH to MAKE MYSELF HAPPY...and I also thanked Him for being so VERY UNDERSTANDING in discipling me...he really does KNOW EVERYTHING

you see, he's "like our parent" 'the FATHER'...it took a lot to pull up courage enough to ADMIT all the things I had been thinking and doing or wishing i could harm people...but ADMITTING I WUZ DOING SOMETHING WRONG wuz the only way to make me STOP...

Pray For Yur Enemies
"DO Good TO those who HATE YOU"
'Bless Those who Curse You'

also
offer yur Love , to those whom Love You...do not give foolishly to an Enemy that HATES YOU.

I hope this shed some light for "you"

Michael F. Ortiz, are you some kind of Ronin spambot, aimless and masterless on the wild internet frontier, never programmed with an understanding of what things like capitalization and quotation marks are for? Because that's all I can come up with.

If you are actually a person and not a poorly scripted spambot or an annoyng troll (I'm far from convinced) have you ever considered not typing crazy incomprehensible gibberish with bizarre spelling and grammar choices sprinkled throughout? If you are really that thin-skinned, maybe posting your thoughts to the internet isn't the best way to spend your time.

Okay, I'm changing my guess to annoying internet troll. Really annoying. Seriously, is it that hard to spell words like "you" correctly and lay off the caps? Or preferably just quit posting, please.

...wow...Michael...wow... I had to read that twice. Jesus wanted us to spread His word not butcher the language. How are you going to become a fisher of men if you do not even know how to bait your hook? ...wow...*shaking head*

Hi All,

Tolerance is a two-way street- always will be, but when people become intolerant of you and the things you stand for how are you supposed to respond?

When that same intolerance means less opportunities for you and yours and a much harder existance at every level, at what point do you stop being tolerant and say "hold on just a minute here...."?

I think America has reached that point and is going way beyond. It seems to me that tolerance only goes one way- to minority groups. Anyone that reckons that these groups haven't cornered the market on demanding tolerance, respect et.al is living in an alternate universe. I was encouraged by the Californian state ruling last week that outlawed hiring health workers and government employees based on racial quotas and preferences. -Who'd thought that would come from Cali?- Well done that judge.

Affirmitive action is perhaps the worst socio-economic cancer facing good community relations and "equality"in the US today. The sooner we revert back to a meritocracy the better. If we're all equal, why do certain groups need the "leg-up", time and time again?

-America is about fairness, hard work and merit. Lets get back there and get rid of affirmitive action that empowers any race above another; tolerance will come from that one action alone.

My definition of tolerance is having 4 teenage children under the same roof. They are all different and have their own opinions, likes, and dislikes, and I have to tolerate each one until they are capable of living on their own, and vice versa. And like all children once they live on their own they come to realize how the world really is a screwed up intolerant place full of selfish, rude, greedy, choose whatever negative adjectice you like, place. Because there is not one of us who can claim they have not done something to wrong there fellow man. And that leads us back to what brings us together and gives us hope, ...faith and family (and sometimes they can really test your limits as well). So no, the world will not be a tolerant place until, and God I hate to say this, to quote Bono, "the colors all bleed into One".

As for that meritocracy stuff I am 100% on board.
