I like pretty much the entire book of Job..
Here's a man that lost EVERYTHING in his life, yet, through it all, he never loses his faith in God.
There's a lesson to be learned there.

It was the first book of the bible I've ever read and it's still my favorite.

What people often forget is that after he said that, Jesus picked up a rock and went "DIE!"
well, not really, but it'd be funny to hear that sermon at church if he had.

Roffle.

I personally like the Genesis stories. They facinate me. I believe in evolution, but man, those stories are interesting and have moral undertones.

so you believe that we all came from one single celled organism that multiplied over time? Well i dont, if you still believe it read Darwins Black Box. No offense

“And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. “And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?”

I don't know, but when you reiterate our beliefs, phrasing them in an attempt to make them sound ridiculous, I think that does qualify as offense. You're an idiot if you think 'no offense' defuses an insult. You're not an idiot, right?

And calling someone an "idiot" by phrasing it in the form of a question is likewise no less insulting. Not to mention, way off topic.

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Don't let them look down on you because you are young, but instead be an example to the believers in life, in love, in speech, and faith, and in purity.

Ezekiel 25:17
