So my parents and I are having dinner, and the tv's on. "Unknown" with Liam Neeson is playing. Keep in mind that the movie is set in Germany. We're absentmindedly following the movie while eating. My dad at one point looks at the action long enough to ask:

Dad- "Isn't that the guy from Schindler's List?"
Me- "Liam Neeson."
Dad- Yeah, that's him.

A couple of minutes pass. Now there's an action scene, Neeson is struggling with a bad guy, and he pins him down to the floor and yells at him:

 

Liam- "Who are you??"
Dad, imitating Neeson- "Are you a jew??"

I can't imagine God knows something about Hitler that we don't.

I assume this means that if God had foreknowledge and thus allowed or commanded that the wicked be killed before they brought destruction the righteous, then why didn't he have Hitler killed, well the answer is obvious: he clearly wanted the History Channel to have something to talk about from 2002-2006.

In all seriousness, both in the Bible and outside of it, God still allows wicked people to live and do wicked things, even nearly wiping out God's people.  God does give the most wicked the freedom to choose, and seems to only intervene when absolutely necessary to preserve the righteous.  Often many do die.  But God still gives the wicked their freedom of choice most of the time.

Besides, who is to say how many wicked tyrants God did remove before they actually became tyrants?  We only have hindsight.  He has the foresight.

I'll just say this: if God had killed Hitler, we would have missed on so many funny jokes... Chaplin, the Stooges, Mel Brooks.. Jeez, I'd say 40% of the internet revolves around nazi humour.

Who cares about women, I just wanna hang out with my friends and they're away most of the time.

Make new friends? With hot women?

Not to tar everybody with the same brush, but usually if they're hot, they're not really the talking type. Most they can manage with their two braincells is "Polly wanna cracker" or words to that effect. And that won't be a nice evening for me.
Nope, solved the conundrum, last night after seeing a play with a couple of friends from uni I went on a date with Miss Martini and Mr. Rusty Nails.
Still feeling a bit of a buzz. I think I'm ok now.

Frink, I certainly don't like you better than Leo...

Ah, so we both suck, do we now?   ;)


And I didn't even realize English was not Leonardo's first language! He writes like a native, IMO!

[read in an extremely posh accent]
I'm chuffed to bits by your compliment, my dear fellow! Pip pip, cheerio and all that rot!

Who confirmed God to you, if I might ask?

Several people to be honest. My grandfather was the greatest influence on me in that category. But at the risk of sounding crazy, (Too late?) my confirmation came from God Himself. When I pushed everyone's opinions to the side and approach Him on my own.

Honestly, this is where I get lost.  What was the actual process of approaching God?

They met on Craigslist, obviously.
