I'll get to Seinfeld in a moment. One thing alot of us find annoying about alot of Christians is hypocrisy. They claim the Bible is the word of God but they don't follow it's tenants. It seems this argument could be a catch 22 for us. Their Bible tells them that they must go out and spread the Word. If they don't do than they are hypocrites. If we tell them to stop being hypocrites than we have to listen to their preaching. What to do?

Actually, this thread was just an excuse to post a transcript of one of my favorite Seinfeld scenes

Elaine doesn't believe in hell but her boyfriend Puddy does and Elaine is offended he hasn't tried to "save" her.

Elaine: David, I’m going to hell! The worst place in the world! With devils and those caves and the ragged clothing! And the heat! My god, the heat! I mean, what do you think about all that?

Puddy: Gonna be rough.

Elaine: Uh, you should be trying to save me!

Puddy: Don’t boss me! This is why you’re going to hell.

Elaine: I am not going to hell and if you think I’m going to hell, you should care that I’m going to hell even though I am not.

Puddy: You stole my Jesus fish, didn’t you?

Elaine: Yeah, that’s right!

According to Wikipedia:

Quote:

For a time in his life Seinfeld (who was raised as a Jew) was a Scientologist and as recently as 1993 he spoke positively of his brief stint as a Scientologist. In an interview he did for Playboy Magazine in October 1993 he said, "I learned a lot and I had a good experience with it." [1] Incidentally, he made fun of Scientology in an episode of Seinfeld ("The Parking Garage").

It appears he's not a member anymore, but it is so hard to tell because Scientology and its members tend to be very secretive!

...Outside of Tom Cruise, of course.

I see two dilemmas here.

What kind of friend thinks you're going to helll and doesn't try to save you? If someone thinks you are going to hell and keeps trying to save you, could you ever really be friends?

and....

If your boyfriend/girlfriend has a Jesusfish on his/her car is it right or is it wrong to steal it?
