Do you think God wants less for his children than what you want for yours?

I wonder why so many men become deadbeat dads.
I'm going to hazard a guess that maybe it's because they don't give a damn about the kids they've fathered.


If sons are like their fathers then fathers might wonder why their nurturing, or what in their nurturing, creates such mindsets.
In my experience, whether sons are or are not like their fathers is pretty random.

Unfortunately, we reap what we sow.


Sometimes it is fortunate. In my 4 boys, I am well pleased. I thank my wives for allowing me to choose them as those were good choices for that period of time.

We do? You mean people who do ill will be undone, and people who do good will have good done unto them?

Yeah, right.

Well, I certainly can't argue with a Harry Chapin song.

OK, good and ill are always rewarded in kind, and sons invariably grow up to be like their fathers. And there's a big beardy old guy dressed in a nightshirt sitting on a cloud who will torture you forever if you jerk off. And people who don't go to church don't have faith.

That about it, or do you have any other illogical, counterfactual information for us today?

if you happen to be of the bible believing persuasion then the question is a no brainer. The parable,,,which of you if your child asks for a piece of bread, will he give him a stone,,,etc.,,,etc,,,..

Yeah, right.


Are you suggesting that we should do evil to others in the hope of reaping good?


Do you return evil for good? Does the good you do get rewarded with evil?


Explain your, --- "Yeah, right."

Sure but if we ask him to retire the way Jesus retired him, will he do so for us as well?


As a brethren to Jesus, I am most interested in that.


Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.


John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.


Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate? Because that makes as much sense as your question.


Do you return evil for good?
Of course I do. I'm a lawyer.

Does the good you do get rewarded with evil?
If I ever do good, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Not familiar with the expression? It's an ironic phrase of agreement when the person using it is actually convinced that you are at best hopelessly naive and at worst severely brain damaged.
