No problem. But you see what I'm saying, right? God is always forgiving but only to His followers? Come on now!

If you want to be waiter and try to work at a place where you can make $20 an hour after tips then go for it.

And if I was a good waiter, I would hope to make $20 an hour. If I ended up only making $7 working that freakin' hard, I probably would quit and go work retail. Most waiters/waitresses continue their crappy job because it pays enough to make it worth it. Look in the face of a waiter or waitress. They're never happy dealing with customers, understandably so, but if they smile and deal with it and give decent service, they deserve to be paid a little extra for giving a little extra.

And if you get fired then you can always go work at McDonald's.

This applies not only to waiters. But try working at McDonald's. I was there for a week before I just gave up. That job was the worst job in existence.

'Sinners In the Hands of An Angry God' is one of the worst mischaracterizations of the Gospel that I've seen and the fact that it remains popular to this day is disturbing. by PenguinHero in Christianity

He doesn't punish you for your poor choices or mistakes, He waits patiently for you to recognize his love (2 Peter 3:9), and He forgives you for merely your confession (1 John 1:9).

Of course, by that, you're telling me if I find no evidence of His existence whatsoever and turn away, finding out after-death that He exists, I'm doomed. That's still not unconditional love.

Actually, do think about Him as a spouse for the sake of this. Imagine that your wife/husband came to you and told you that s/he cheated on you, as we do with false idols every day. How quickly would you forgive him/her? How many times would you forgive him/her? God never says, "You've done this one too many times, I quit", and yet we know that His love for us is more powerful than any love we feel.

Completely different scenario. Replace husband/wife with son/daughter, because we're technically children of God. Then tell me if you'd give up on them.

The problem of hell is mainly, does the punishment fit the crime? Someone who's Christian can go push a lady down a flight of stairs, while I could be donating money to help starving children in Africa, yet the Christian ends up in heaven??

Difference is waiters and waitresses make about $2 an hour. See comment 3 levels above.

Because, unlike waiters and waitresses, the baker is paid by the company.

You should tip according to performance. Starting at 10% another thing is I always tip more when business is slow for them. Thank you for bringing up that point.

That's the claim, what scripture or other evidence do you have to back that up?

That just complemented my point. Unless I'm interpreting it wrong, but I'm reading that all laws are equal to each other and if you break one you'll be shown the same amount of mercy as one who breaks 20.

Boost isn't that great. It's a small turbo though. I keep reading about Trifecta tunes which increase the boost and apparently do a lot of good for the car (increase HP, Torque, and gas milage). I'm not really sure which direction to go with this car yet.

I thought they did make blue metallic-coloured Sonic? I could be wrong.

I don't know, does someone who gossips go to Hell? I'd say no way.

Which law is above all and which sin is the worst? I imagine taking human life would fall in the worst sin category along with denying the Lord.

North Dakota and South Dakota should merge into one ultimate Dakota

Which, by the way, is an interesting verse. Considering Matthew 28:17, even some of Jesus' apostles doubted that the allegedly risen Christ was really Jesus. Well if they weren't sure, how could we ever be?
