Quote

"Seven hundred thousand out of a total Lebanese population of 3.5 million, 20 percent of the population, mostly Shiites, are now being cared for and given refuge by mostly Christian schools, churches, and other humanitarian organizations. This is the story of the Good Samaritan at a mega scale! And to think that this is the outcome of a strategy that meant to rouse anti-Hezbollah feelings among the Lebanese population and government. Talk about a failed strategy! Of course, this has happened so many times before that any thoughtful tactician would have learned the lesson by now, but military muscle is always too hedonistic and narcissistic to listen to the voice of reason and history."

- Dr. Martin Accad, academic dean of the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary of Lebanon.

Can you provide me with any definitive proof that there is, or ever was, a god or gods? Didn't think so. Didn't your mother ever tell you that santa and the easter bunny are fake? Well, the same can be said for your god...

Thanks for your comments. Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner but I have been traveling some. Definitely thought about that before and the best answer I can give you is proof really isn't the point. Sorry if that isn’t what you were looking for. Maybe I will touch on it later. Peace.
