Musings on religion

Isn't it interesting that we never hear of expeditions to undiscovered tribes or populated islands where the people there had been out of contact with the rest of the world, and a King James bible was found in the indigenous language, and the people there knew all about Jesus and the Good News. Wouldn't that be something!? Instead, what do we get? We have missionaries who are charged with bringing 'The Word' to all the world, ensuring that many millions will be killed, suffer disease and injury, etc. Sounds rather inefficient for an omnipotent god.

Kids say the darndest things...episode 4

Overheard as my daughter is talking to my wife on the phone...
"Mommy I want to be a teacher when I grow up."
"That's great sweetie."
"But do they have to call me Ms. Bonaparte??"

Kids say the darndest things...episode 3

So my girls were watching a Spanish language DVD, and they were talking about step-mothers. I had to explain to them what step-parents were, and of course, we went over divorce as well. Basically, I said that sometimes mommies and daddies don't want to live together any more. And my eldest thought for a moment and solemnly said, "Well I hope you and mommy don't get divorced." I said I didn't think that would ever happen, we love each other very much. :)

What was the sacrifice?

If Jesus was the son of god before, during and after his execution, what, exactly, did he sacrifice by 'dying'?
