One of my best friends was killed in Anbar Prov in 03. I bow down to the military guys doing that for us, so again maybe I am misreading your post so Ill drop it there.
I spent my life in a very conservative christian high school then 4 more years at another very conservative Christian College , Palm Beach Atlantic University , until I went off to medical school. So please keep the fire and brimstone speech for those that live in a bubble. I have more years studing the bible and on missions/workships than all you guys added up.
I am sorry to hear about your friend, Erik. But if those (8+ years) of "bible exposure" taught you anything is that God cares very little experience or talent. He always seems to choose the least qualified. Besides faith is more important than works to God.
"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11: 5-7)
As for the pic, I didn't see it and it probably would not have bothered me if it was still on here. Admin removed because he deemed it unacceptable and he judgments are pretty fair.
