I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less.
Ask me anything you want.
Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.
Stolen from just about everyone.

2.That's kinda two questions, but one answers the other. First of all no God does not discriminate. God loves each and every person he has created. He wants nothing more than to have a personal relationship with each one of us and eventually bring us to Heaven to be with him. As creator of all things He could have made us into robots that would do whatever was his pleasure. But God wanted something/someone who would love him back, not just do whatever he told them. That's where the personal relationship comes in. The problem is that God is holy and pure and nothing that is tainted with sin can be near to him. We have all sinned, no exceptions. Because He loves us he sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. This was done as a gift, not a blanket pardon for all sinners. We have to accept his gift in the same love it was offered. The Bible puts it this way: "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." When this happens ALL of a persons sin is gone and God looks on him as a new and pure creation. So no God's love is not discriminatory, in fact God hates all sin equally. If a murderer or rapist repents and confesses his sins the result is the same as when an upstanding citizen repents and confesses his "minor" sins. From what I know of you, I do not believe you have done this. I don't think you have accepted his love or forgiveness. However there is absolutely no reason why you couldn't.
3.Well it's true that there is some truth in all humor. But in general I would say not often. I try to bite my tongue if I wish I could say the same thing in a serious manor. I have tried to use sarcasm or teasing to try and lighten a mood with disastrous results.
