Messengers/Message

[Drich]

But hey, since it is true, could you ask your god to stop wasting time sending angels down to halfwit blowhards to talk to them about their fucking love-life and maybe send a few out to battered wives, starving children, tsunami victims, molested children, the overworked, the underpaid, the destitute, the cancer ridden, and the billions of others who need immediate attention.

Aside from the obvious Tsunami victim status how do you know I have not suffered from or as a direct result from any or all of the other trials you mentioned? [Or was currently going through some if not most of the thing you mentioned at the time?]

I mean seriously, how selfish are you?? I mean obviously god thinks you're really special, but since no one gives a shit about your lame-ass problems, could you, for the love of humanity tell your god to please use his resources on something that fucking matters!?!

I glanced over the reasons my mom left and why I got kicked out and the reason for my visit to my uncle and the resolution to all of it, and will reserve the right to keep that part of the story for myself, but you can rest assured that my 'love life' was not the primary focous of this conversation.

I will say For me at that time, the injustic of it all was too much and I simply wanted to go Home to be with God. Maybe deep down that was the reason I gave a ride to someone who I thought was so threating looking. Eitherway things changed after that.

Also, even in the bible, the "angels" weren't afraid to tell people that they were indeed "angels of the lord."

Maybe I should have made the distinction. This wasn't a bible story. this was an account of an actual event.

You need to work on your story. You see, psychics and mediums are considered VERY BAD in the Bible and I'm reasonbly sure that my 20 years in a fundamental Baptist church taught me that no angel of god would call himself a psychic. This story is utter bull shit!

That's funny because this is the first thing most fundies point to. This happened in 95 or 96 so as you can imagine I have told the story a few times, and if I were looking to perfect anything I would have by now. The story is told to the best of my ablity to recount the events. Theological fundi flaws and all. It stands or falls on the merrit of what I can recall. Nothing added nothing taken away.

The beggar's name is obviously Elijah. Any proper christian would know this.

I am not necessarily providing the links below for consumption, but as demonstration of how common the beggar as an angel in disguise motif is.

Not sure I understand why His name had to be Elijah, I can think of 1/2 a dozen time where an angel not name or not named Elijah was sent.
