So, basically, according to Reba, a pastor must be 100% sin free so as to not be tempted by the devil. Tell me the name of one single pastor who does not sin, in either thought or deed. oh wait, there isn't any.

Daredevel, protesteth not. Let us go, you and I, into the cave of shame, taboo and disgrace where us inferior sex are destined to be, Let us sheddeth our shoes, and don a maternity shift, let us discard our pride and lovingly polish the wooden club our superior halves wield to keep us...

I didn't know hearing person could predict an earthquake in advance and warn others....lol. Um, what's the likelihood of being overrun by a stampede of wild hungry bloodthirsty animals? Hm......0,001%? also, I think one could tell by the vibrations if there was such a stampede on their way...

Shared values and goals is more important to me than the colour of the skin.

RedCoyotesRose - out of curiosity, do you have ignorant hearing stories to share with us since that's the theme of this thread?
