I think most of Latin America could be considered Christian, though to me it looks a lot more like Catholicism mixed with whatever native religions were around. You're right, though, the most Christ-deprived countries are dominated by Islam, as well as Buddhism and Hinduism. I'm not sure which route I'd take with only 100,000.Hate to burst your bubble but isn't most of the third world already Christian? And those regions that aren't Christian are mainly Muslim? (in which case that 100k might not pay for enough protection for a preacher). Helping out is all very nice though
Pay off my student loans and then move to New York or Israel so I can learn to speak Hebrew fluently and hopefully somehow get into an Orthodox Jewish Seminary
Or you can move in with elohyim! He would probably charge far less than a Orthodox Jewish Seminary. :think:
I'd donate it all to charity.The TheologyOnline.com TOPIC OF THE DAY for December 14th, 2010 01:02 PM

Wow, looks like you are the trash. Get some class.Shut up you godless piece of trash.
Do you fight against the cultural imperialism of the idiots in Hollywood? Surely, they have much more global influence than little ol me and a book will ever have! If you simply don't like my God, well then that's another matter altogether. Only my God could motivate a selfish jerk like me to want to help, which you say is nice.
Wow, looks like you are the trash. Get some class.

To me, it's not just what you do that counts. It's also who it is you're serving when you do such things: For yourself? No, you won't derive enough joy to sustain your service if it is done out of self-interest. For other people? Other people will always let you down, so that cannot be a long-term motivator either. For God? Yes! He rewards you with enough peace, grace, and joy to sustain your service and will never let you down.No, I guess I dont, I really dont know how i could fight hollywood! Sure agree about it not being a good thing.
I didnt say I "dont like your god". That is another matter, for sure!
As for myself, I am motivated to help others out of empathy. But I dont care so much what reason a person may have, its what you do that counts, dont you think?
Now that you are thinking about it, maybe you will come up with something you can do. Dont let the best be enemy to good enough!
As in dont wait for a lottery before you do anything at all.
Good luck, and its cool that your first thought is to do for others.
