Wow. Seems like a few mega church pastors could afford to read that passage as well.

Santa Claus seems like a good analogy. It will always be hard to answers questions of life’s mysteries, but I agree that some folks have a tone of “nener, nener,” which just baffles me. I guess these folks don’t consider how it would feel if God ever “changed sides” on them.
