eatmybishop, why do you always start these threads with questions about things you really don't want to know the truth about?

If you believe that the Romans fed Christians to the lions, then why don't you really want to know why? And if you heard the truth would you be able to know it or not?

I think you are really filled with doubts about everything and are not really sure of what is true and what is not.

But aren't lions meant to be God's creations as well? If He is who HE is meant to be, it would be wrong to help one of His creations over another surely?

Sometimes God zaps, as he did when Elijah called on Him. And sometimes, He don't. I think there's a famous philosophical quote which relates this to being like a box of chocolates, never knowing what one is going to git. I've told my pastor that personally, I think the zapping is far more effective, and that I'd like to see more of it.

Agreed. Forrest Gump is one of the most profound philosophers since Wittgenstein.
