Grace Community Church: You can check out, but you can never leave
Yay, lets hear it for Grace Community Church in Jacksonville, Florida. Once again, we are shown the love and acceptance of a church as they kindly treat one of their parishioners who has somehow fallen afoul of one of God's many rules.
They, of course, are demonstrating their love by taking everything this woman said, in private, to her mentor in the church, and telling it to every member during service, while her children are there. What a warm devotional that must be. More specifically, what a bunch of loving, caring and concerned Christians they are. Imagine, taking her confessions, uttered in private to a member of the church and sharing them with the entire congregation! read more »
Basic Math. Learn it, Use it, Love it.
I've received this internet forward at least 5 times now by people who really should know better:
I'm against the $85 BILLION bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a "We Deserve It" dividend. To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. citizens, aged 18+.
Yes, let's make the math simple...
Our population is about 301 million counting every man, woman and child.
So, 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up. Now, divide 200 million, 18+ adults into $85 billion - that equals $425,000.00 each! Yes, my plan is to give that $425,000 to every adult as a "We Deserve It" dividend.
And it goes on and on and on trumping up this grand fantasy. But really, do people not understand basic math anymore? Or is this part of that "New Math" that kids are being taught these days? Really? $425,000? read more »
