The Creator or The almighty dollar?

Do you seriously think, considering the direction this country is headed, that everyone in this country is interested in the greater good of America.
As innocent as some people see it, the removal of the representation of God in government because of the love of humanity for which He stands, is a silent cancer undetected.
Do you really think, once the principles of integrity are gone that your representation is going to make decisions in light of what is best for you and the country.
I don't think so!

Take a good look at the American Flag while you still can.
I smell the coffee, you might need some.:biggrin:


Common misconception:
People always say money is evil, it is not, it is simply a currency used in commerce.
The love of money in the bible is referring to a form of worship that implies one is willing to do whatever it takes to obtain that money and once obtained to exert power in whatever manner they see fit.
It is good to have enough money to be able to take care of your family and give to others-poverty is not a good thing, neither is corruption.

The premise of your question is invalid, because though people may praise money, money is not God. Even if money were, the "dollar" wouldn't be, it would more likely be gold.

BTW, you keep using the pronoun, "he" when referring to God. Who says God has a sex?

Here is a philosophical question for you, if God is "The Creator," what created God?

The definition I think most of us use for "God," is "the supreme being." If that is true, by definition, all other things such as the dollar, are inferior to God, and therefore there cannot be a choice of more than one God, because other than God, all others are less than God.

3rd - Regarding HELL. Einstein said, "I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts."


One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

no buns, beer, and dipping condiment of choice.

Just tried some, and to me they are very run-of-the mill. Over-hyped and not worth the expense. For the occasional dog I'll go with Boars head for a taste treat, but for run-of-the mill Nathans or even Wynn Dixie or any old ballpark Franks are as good as or better than Hebrew National.

Here's Dostoevsky's question: If the creation of the universe depended on the suffering of innocents, would you do it?

Apparently with a sniper rifle so the suffering wouldn't last too long.

Now this is brilliant and one of the few posts that is, to me, worthwhile on this thread.

Yes and I would have my own son brutally killed just to show that I'm part of the suffering as well.:roll: It's good politics.
