Howdy there, newbie here. Hiya … nice ta meetchya … 🙂 … g’day … _nods to all except god_

I’m snubbing god … anyone who’d leave two naked babes in the woods alone in the care of evil with full knowledge that evil would stalk and take them just isn’t a very good parent. And then to throw them out of the house without jobs or training! OY!

Put god back, it needs time out time … and to write One bazillion times:

Love is uncontitional

wait! Was he robed and bearded? Benevolent and omnipotent?

See, I lost God a couple of months ago while I was travelling through Illinois. He always slips out there.  
I wish he’s get out of the habit of sticking his head out the car window. Not very dignified, you see. And he keeps falling out or escaping when I’m at a rest stop.

I think you may have found him. If so, there’s a reward.

One day a plane crashed and burned. Among the dead passengers were Bill Gates, Al Gore, and George W. Bush.

When asked why God should let him into heaven, Al Gore replied: “I believe in the environment and the internet.” “GREAT!, come on in!” Replied God.

When asked the same question, George W. Bush said, I believe in strengthening the military." He, too, was let in.

And finally, when Bill Gates reached the big white throne, God asked him the same question.

**"I believe… you are sitting in my chair," he said.**

I found him several years ago. I was on campus at Michigan State, and some one came up to me and asked if I’d seen the Lord today, and I replied “Yea, he’s behind Berkey Hall, if you hurry you can catch up with Him…”

Just the other day I found my thing, the one I use do to my stuff? It was in my deal the whole time! Could you ask God just when I’m supposed to inherit the effing earth? I’m thinking about getting a lawyer at this point.

Ask God what happens to the soul in Alzheimer’s. Does it transfer over when you die, or continuosly in little increments?

In the early 60s I found that in a local store these two signs were juxtaposed: “Jesus Saves,” and “Blue Chip Stamps.”

Now that you’ve found Him, ask Him what the hell He was thinking when He made carrot juice good and alcohol bad. Also ask why He made us so stupid that we didn’t invent the sandwich until 300 years ago.

And finally, ask him who He likes for the Triacta at Hialeah on Monday.

Thanks.

Could you also ask him/her/it who wins at Survivor? I could make a lot of money on the answer.
