John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey. What, you don't think he should be able to enjoy his favorite treats in Heaven?

Don't you think he may have changed his preferences after God had introduced him with heavenly American food?

Re: Reputation points

Oh? But I seem to have a message from another user (an "unsaved trash-under investigation" like myself) under the " Latest Reputation Received" section on the CP, saying that he has given me 10 points. My grand total is still only 10 though, not 20.

I think you're confusing reputation level with reputation power. They are not the same thing.

But does it really matter how many points you get from some vegan shrubbery-bugger? The only person whose opinions you should care about is Our Lord Jesus. His got the only reputation power that matters. So drop to your knees and pray that Jesus will click the icon with the little scales on your celestial profile.

As long as no one else has to eat them .I prefer to eat honey without bugs. Same goes for chocolate covered ants. Why would someone ruin good chocolate by sticking an insect in the middle of it?

Re: Reputation points

~sigh~ I want too. It seems quite simple, to know the answer to things. Where do people go when they die? heaven/hell. How did we get here? God created us. And to pray when you need something. I've prayed before, and it has worked. I believe I could be a Christian if I wanted to be, but I don't think I could be a True Christian.

What'd be the point of being a fake Christian? Being a "christian" who wasn't a True Christian™ would be like being a vegan who ate eggs and hair, or a black metal band who made listenable music: just muddled and confused and wrong.

What other languages have you read it in? Had you already read it in French, Russian, and/or Arabic? Are you some kind of a communist?

Ants and locusts aren't the same at all! Ants are abominations! God hates ants.
Leviticus 11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

Locusts are different, God's fine with them.

Like I've said, you are free to eat them if you wish, but if they are going to be the only thing on the menu in Heaven...

Of course not. There'll be pot roasts and lamb and steak and veal and all sorts of similarly wonderful things.
Hang on a minute, all this talk of veal is making me hungry. Brb.

Re: Reputation points

Has anyone considered 'charity points'? I get occasional rep points about good posts I've made, then other rep points about not so great posts. I think seeing "You can't add reputation to this user until you spread it around some more" causes users to blast charity around to clear out that cache. I know I'm guilty of it. So if you got rep from me, you might want to check if your post was good or not.
