whisper! hello!
and hi to mom too!
miss yas!
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

You have absolutely no idea where you'd find any of 'us' in the real world.
I can easily trump your hospice, soup kitchens and crisis centres - and I'm sure many here could do the same. We just don't do it in the name of made-up-shit.

And we do not do it in places, where service and support come at the price of proselytization, places infested by the likes of Bovina.
To your list of charitable activities, you might include Suicide Counseling (I'm for it) and the National War on Mature Virginity.

I have done all sorts of things-- those mentioned here and more. However, I am not talking about myself. At the moment, if you must know, I spend a great deal of time trying to bring sadly undereducated teenagers to a point that they can achieve high enough ACT scores to go to college. Then, if they manage that I will tutor them, as I do now, to help retain them. Every single success is a kid who is the first in his family to graduate (actually to go to college and graduate--here in Bumfuck, Ala. as nkb so wittily puts it. Funny, I guess no one needs him in Hang 'Em High, Texas but those of us so inclined, change lives here.). To everything there is a season. Thankfully, money also helps when time does not permit ...!

What a wonderful Christian you are, Bovina --

Matthew 6 wrote
[1] Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
[2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
[3] But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
[4] That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

I don't know a natural process by which a dead body can be brought back to life after 3 days. Maybe some day there will be. But not that I know of. It would require a supernatural event.

You also do not know of a supernatural process by which a dead body (in direct contravention of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle) can be brought beck to life after 3 days. So, for all you know about supernatural processes, reanimation is as impossible supernaturally as naturally. Therefore you can hope that God can do anything, but you can't know it.
Anticipating a common lame reply, remember, it is not legitimate to prove the resurrection by God's ability then prove God's ability by the resurrection.

Maybe Jeebus H was not entirely solely dead, but in a state of simultaneous dead-and-aliveness. That's how the Copenhagen's interpreted it.
Mmmmm .... danish.

Not a thing! Lily's beaver has never been busy. Nothing has ever popped in it. Nothing has ever tried and missed. Nothing to see here at all!

I've always wanted to set up a bakery near the Vatican. I have some great ideas for pastries with religious motifs. How about little Jesus shaped pastries with raspberry filling that squishes out when you bite him? They could be blessed every morning by the Pope so that they would transform instantly into the blood and flesh of the holy doughnut himself!
Jesus cross pretzels!
Strawberry Jesus cheese cake!
Jesus doughnuts that become fresh again after three days!
