  Dear Neohippie I wasn't there last Saturday night so maybe commenting is out of line, but here goes anyway.
O.K. I get that your pissed off. I'm not clear at who, what or why? 1. Are you angry that in a theoretical exercise on how to best spend 50 billion dollars to solve the worlds problems someone came up with the lame idea of translating bibles into different languages? 2. Are you angry that some christians are still in favor of evangelism? 3. Are you angry that in an experimental evening the format required small group activity? 4. Are you angry that well fed christian missionaries risk their lives by going into third world countries to torture starving children with meatball subs?
5. Are you angry that you argued with your mom and you think she is disappointed in you? Seems to me getting angry about children dying, human suffering and injustice in the world is an admirable quality. How would Jesus spend 50 billion dollars? Hmm... My guess is he would give to Caesar what was Caesar's. My question to you neohippie is how can you make a difference in a world of need?
