    And if you don't worship him during this very finite life that he so graciously gave you, he condemns you for all eternity to burn in hell.

    Awesome.

    You drew me back in with this. You knew darn-well what I was saying, but twisted it.

    YOU think there's a cookie cutter blueprint, that leads to Heaven.

    I think God views each person, subjectively. I'm willing to give him credit for his discretion to wander from his own word....OR, how YOU interpet it. Heck...he's God! He's earned it!

    You seem like a good dude...if we end up in hell together, wanna hang out? Grab a beer or something? Its hell, so it will probably have to be Busch or something. They won't have good stuff in hell.

    Was just watching Billy the Exterminator and I noticed your location. Two questions...

    1) Do you know Billy?
    2) Are the people on this show a good representation of Shreveport?

    Okay three questions...

    3) You sure you didn't have a duck camo wedding?

    Tony, seriously, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I didn't ask them to be an ass, even though I'm good at that. They were serious questions and I am thoroughly intrigued by this subject.

    You had to throw in "praying for you all", didn't you?

    One last question...how does an Italian end up non-catholic? I didn't know that was possible.

    If that doesn't wind up in a movie in my lifetime, they've missed a great line.

    Bravo, sir.

    :lol: I would say look for the guy with the "Hooker" name tag, but that might get a bit confusing...

    *sigh

    Billy the Exterminator or Swamp People? Which show makes me more proud to be a Louisianian...? Such tough decisions.

    My son watches that show. I must've watched 5 of them with him, just yesterday.

    Tough way to make a living.

    I'm just glad I could offer some substance to this thread.

    I gotta tell you, as someone who has never been to the South (except Florida), both of these shows are awesome. They are both intriguing, and hilarious. The way people talk is the best. Do you talk like that? Nah, don't tell me. It will leave more to talk about in hell. We'll have eternity, after all. I hope you sound like a cajun though.

    That Billy is one smart cajun. His hair ranks very high on the unintentional comedy scale. Its perfect.

    Is "cajun" an acceptable term? I don't want to offend.

    At least you're not from Jersey.

    I loved the episode with the wife talking about how gator meat is some of the healthiest meat you can eat...even though its hard to hear her over the sound of the gator meat frying in 3" of vegetable oil.

    I can tell health is important to the family, they are just big boned.

    Don't tempt me too much to come visit! I really need to make it back up that way one of these days....very beautiful country! Although, Colorado's not too bad either!

    Thank you all for the good discussion!

    Fitz,

    I believe, I would enjoy conversing with you no matter that the topic. It has been over a year (too long) since I was up in your neck of the woods. The next time I'm up there I will stop by for a visit. Best wishes to you and yours.

    God bless,
    C

    Repent. Be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. If we don't follow this plan and experience the fullness of what a real communion with God is, there is nothing else to tell.

    When you get the Holy Ghost (Really get it with the evidence of speaking in other tongues) you will not really need others to argue with. Don't knock it till you try it. It is as real of an experience as you will ever have.

    By the way Vito, I guess if my car or dog could not question their creator, that would be communism too? Real funny.
