_Thy will be done_ pretty much covers it all …right?

Now that we know the best barbeque comes from Lockhart, Texas (and sauce and sides are optional), is there any hope for those misguided souls in Memphis?

Don’t I know you from somewhere?

Do you come here often?

What’s a God like you doing in a place like this? (or vice-versa… I tend to get confused)

And last but not least…  
Where have you _been_ all my life?

(From another thread) Do you poop in front of friends, family, or SO?

Birth defects? Disease? Natural disasters?

And the biggie: How come I always put an even number of socks in the laundry, and an odd number come out?

What did all the people born with deformed and dysfunctional bodies and disabled minds ever do to your omnipotent ass anyways? (Don’t tell me you did it so I would have a job.)

How come you often seem to be such an indifferent and ruthless f\*\*\*?

Head or gut?

I’m sure I would get my ass roasted in no time at all.

Y’know, a lot of babies died in Jerico, Sodom&Gomorrah, and the  
Great Flood.

What did they do to deserve it?

Is there a planet that all those missing car keys have gone to and is it the same planet where all the ball-point pens have gone and are the pens asking “Where’s my car?” ?

Where is this peace on earth ?

What if you were just a slob like one of us? Just a stranger on a bus…

Which god are you? There’ve been a bunch described. (and it would suck to join a christian religion, or something, after seeing proof of a god’s existance, and just have Hephestos laughing his ass off at me under a mountain somewhere, or something.)

Are there any Aliens?

Is it OK to kill people who REALLY deserve it?

Can animals get into Heaven? And if so, do you draw the line somewhere? Like at microbes and plankton? And if they CAN get into Heaven, does that mean they can go to Hell, too? (Doggie Hell? Intestinal-Parasite Purgatory, even?)

And if animals CAN get into Heaven…What about plants? I can see skipping over things like crabgrass and moss, but what about big 3,000 year old Redwoods, and such? They seem more worthy than some people I know of.

Another couple…Is it possible to create a true Artificial Intelligence? And, if so, could IT get into heaven, as well?

You mean you hadn’t figured out that that’s where all those extra wire coathangers come from? 😃
