@BorderInspector On youtube(national geographic channel), there’s a clip of North Korean people getting their eyesight fixed by doctors. You know who those North Korean people thanked after they get their eyesight fixed? They didn’t thank the doctors at all. They thanked Kim Jong Il.

@soloja142 I never said it was horrible. God loves me, okay good. I never seen him though. It’s like my mom saying “dad loves you”, but where is he? Why do horrific things happen in this world? How come God doesn’t stop the innocent from dying? You know, it’s funny. I don’t know if you watch basketball but Ron Artest of the Lakers thanked his psychiatrist for winning the NBA championship. He didn’t thank God, he thanked a human being.

@nickbrophymusic I put God in quotations because I don’t know if he is real or not. I go out of my way everyday to lend a helping hand. I’m always aware of my surroundings in case someone needs help. Holding the door for an elderly lady. Giving food that I just bought to a homeless man. Helping a guy on crutches that fell on the street (2:00am in new york city) while other strangers stand around like they don’t see him. I didn’t need the bible or church to teach me these things.

@BorderInspector Sure! God doesn’t need a marketer but he commands us to talk about Him! How horrible is it to you to let you know that God loves you?stay blessed.

Hey , the message is live bodly and love others as much as you can, we cant even explain how our own life exists , the most important question for me is how believing helps your life achieving its full potential. I do believe in God and respect those who does not voice or follow a religion but live bodly, dream big, work hard and love and respect others. At the end i dont think God will make a balance of how good we were but will ask us what did we do with what he gave us. What is your legacy?

@BorderInspector
And since the Bible is my authority, I do believe that God expects us to use his word to reach more people for Jesus. I do respect non-believers. In fact, as Christians, we are called to go further and love them! God allows us to choose Him or to not and there are consequences for either choice. Feel free to message me if you’d like to talk more. Thanks!
Hey there,
It’s interesting to me that you put God in quotations and then proceed to think you know what God needs

@nickbrophymusic Stop pushing “God” onto others. Have some respect for non-believers. God doesn’t need a marketer, so don’t advertise for him.

I do not mean to disparage the dead.
I have sympathy for his wife and kids, but he is very annoying and egotistical.
I would have walked out.
Do people really think this guy is “inspirational” ??

I’m graduating from CMU tomorrow. I’m really scared. I’m not sure I agree with everything Randy said here, at least in that it doesn’t apply to all personality types, but I truly rejoice in his joy at living.
