    I just had an invite to a district convention later this month in Calgary (I guess they get to clean up the Saddledome before the Stampede, LOL).

    They gave me a leaflet asking "WHY DID JESUS COME TO EARTH?" so I asked them "so why did he come?"

    "well, he came to save us"

    "he did? From what?"

    "well, erm, he needed to be a sacrifice"

    "so why? who was he sacrificed to?"

    "well, erm ... he's different to god, god is his father"

    "yes, but god was the one demanding the sacrifice? doesn't that make him a monster?"

    "no, it shows his love for us, it's because mankind rebelled"

    "couldn't god show his love by forgiving people rather than condemning millions of people to thousands of years of suffering and demanding a human sacrificed to make it all better?"

    "erm ... he gave us free will"

    "so if you killed your children if they disobeyed you, does it mean they had free will? would it make you a loving parent or a psychopath?"

    "erm ..."

    "it's ok, I was brought up as a witness. I know it's all bullshit"

    LOL

    Apparently the DC is all about Jesus, his life and has interviews and demonstrations that will feature practical ways to imitate Jesus today.

    I wonder who they are going to interview?

    "well, I first met Jebus in 1929 ..."

    "wait, Jebus? I thought you'd met Jesus"

    "erm ... no ... I thought he like, died - ages ago"

    "oh dear"

    BTW: The last line was said with a smile / in a kind of jokey way - I don't believe in being nasty with people on the doorstep. At the same time it still seemed like it was dismissive enough of their beliefs to make it clear what my opinion was.

    It's sad how poor they are at being able to defend or even explain their beliefs.

    Interview with Jesus:

    DD: ( Phone call.. RING-RING-RING....) " Doot-dee-doo...come on Jesus, answer the phone.. Hmmmm..dum-dee-dum..

    Jesus: "Hello?"

    DD: "Hey, Jesus!! What's up?!"

    Jesus: "Yes..."

    DD: "Just wanted to make sure that you were still gonna mow my lawn."

    Jesus: "Yes.."

    DD: "Alright, peace-out bro!"

    Jesus: "Yes..."

    Gods, I want to do this. If I get an invitation from someone I don't know, I'm following this routine.

    Thanks Simon!

    Jesus told us why He came to Earth.

    Luke 19:10 "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

    And they are going to take three days to say this?

    Practical ways to imitate Jesus? Serve yourself up as a sacrifice, your whole life, particularly your money. BTDTGTTS.

    Yep Eve ate a piece of fruit so God killed millions allowed the death of 100s of millions cursed humanity, cursed the grown, created viruses that killed 100s of millions more. Then demanded the death of his own son. Imagine what would of happened if Eve ate a burrito.
