Athenae helpfully points out to Rev. Arnold, a McCain backer, that "Hindu" is not a god.
I'd also like to point out to the pastor that he shouldn't implore God to prove his "bigness". That's almost like he's testing God, and we all know that when you test God, the Almighty will send the snakes out to eat you.
The only prayers that make sense to me are prayers of thanksgiving. I struggle in vain to reconcile the concepts of an omniscient Creator, human free will, and praying for divine intervention. [Don't give me some flimsy "foreknowledge is not determinism" line, either. That doesn't wash.] Reconciling the problem of evil with an omnibenificent God is another doozy.
Maybe we already live in hell and we achieve "salvation", a glimpse of the heavenly infinite, when we love each other.
Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed [in] us."

I've always wanted to know if God could make a salad at the salad bar so big he couldn't finish it, but I've hesitated to ask directly.

And would the celestial salad bar have a "sneezeguard"?
Do people sneeze in heaven?
There's some other local ministers in the news today. Something about vouching for Jefferson's integrity and basically saying, "hey, vote for the black guy, even if he is a crook."
