Oh, this is fun! Since you believe god created man, not serving man would be equivalent to not serving god.

Therefore, you must serve me a beer.

And when you're done serving his beer, feel free to service this:

I don't think the Apostle Paul would mind. It's out of this world.

Take it up with the Jews. If I want hucksterism, I'll buy a used car.

Is it just me, or has Poe quality taken a nose dive in the last few years? They used to be knowledgable, provocative and imaginative. Now we must settle for predictable and drab.

RE: Serving man in a world you love.
So, let's recap: according to the bible, god creates the world, spends more time on it than he did for all the billions of stars and other planets in the universe, spends the majority of his creatin' time on it, in fact... and then decides that what the bible really needs is a couple verses saying "don't care about the world, it's a shit hole."

One might say that god has awful priorities when he works. Thinking

The bible says this about loving the world:

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the
lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever. "

and has this to tell about serving Christ:

17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.

Spoken by the church who had no problem enjoying the fruits of the world.
They would just rather that the "flock" remain docile awaiting their rewards in the world that will come after they are dead.

'Crazy' is a term of art; 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

Too many all at once, with a very similar schtick. Might even be the same person.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
