: WHAT?!?
bletnit?!
blet = rotten fruit
nit = lice eggs
If this is really your name, I understand your pain... ;-)
Methinks Mr. Bletnit knows a little too much about burning bushes and the standard "why does God allow..." argument to be completely genuine. That is, I don't think that he really needs these answers for himself.
I think rather that he's trying to stimulate some thoughtful conversation. Which is a GOOD thing, BUT...
...to spend the time and prayer to respond thoughtfully and sincerely to such provocative questions, when you strongly suspect the need is not genuine, is a bit much to ask of most of us. There's not enough hours in the day to adequately respond to the REAL needs we are confronted with.
On the other hand, the AOL question IS a tough one... :-)
