What's the link to it? You're definitely funny, and I'd love to read more.

Also, the "crazy letters" idea reminds me of the book Letters from a Nut. I recommend it.

Letters from a Nut?

You might like this book if you haven't already read it.

Everyone needs to read the book which started funny crank letters in the late 20th century: Letters from a Nut https://www.amazon.com/dp/0380973545/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZQdJDbCMGE2GF

Sounds like Ted Nancy's Letters From a Nut. He sends letters to real people and places and publishes the letter and response. They are laugh out loud funny.

Reminds me of Ted L. Nancy's Letters from a Nut

Reminds me of the books by Ted L. Nancy. "Letters from a Nut" is the first one.

>That suffering is pointless is a pagan and atheist notion, not a Christian one.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Christ ended physical suffering for a lot of people. He healed people so they wouldn't suffer. The whole point of Christ's existence was to end the suffering of people separated from God.

And, this just gets under my skin, someone saying they're "suffering for Jesus" is a pharisee. They're spitting in the face of the gifts of modern medicine - a gift from God to ease the suffering of a host of people.

I really and truly hope you never have to endure, or worse yet, see a loved on endure, true medical suffering. When you see what it does to a person, how it breaks them, there's nothing at all redemptive about that. It is painful, it is heartbreaking, it is the last thing that you think God wants his children to go through. And, believe me, you would want to do anything in your power to stop it through any means necessary.

Acts 5:41 is aimed at being a social outcast and a political refugee, not someone who is going through Chemo or someone who is battling MS.

And, we need to talk about Paul. Paul, formerly Saul, one, didn't know Jesus, never followed Jesus and really didn't have any first-hand knowledge of Christ at all. So there's that. And, when we read anything written by Paul, we're reading someone else's 1800 year old mail. It's like Letters From A Nut, except we don't have the letter he is replying it. We are missing basically all of the context.

Now, Luke is a little more reliable. And again, we see Christ talking in parable. He didn't mean to literally pick up a cross, obviously. So how do you jump to the conclusion that physical suffering is what he meant?

>"Should we stop palliative care of cancer patients and the elderly?"

But why not? If suffering is some wonderful gift, why not give everyone a good healthy dose of pain? Perhaps because it is cruel? On their way out of this world shouldn't folks get the "character building" experience of excruciating pain? Meet Jesus in the throes of agony? I mean, that's what The Saints ^^TM did...

Or perhaps your humanity kicks in and you realize that suffering is, really, rather pointless in our modern society.

Letters From A Nut is full of great stuff too.

A guy did a whole book of stuff like this about 13 or 14 years ago through snail mail. Some of them are a hoot.

Is anyone else noticing the parallel with these longer exchanges and the Letters From a Nut books? http://www.amazon.com/Letters-Nut-Ted-L-Nancy/dp/0380973545

I read this book of similar nature about 5 years ago. Pretty good stuff as well. Made me laugh until I couldn't breath, which is the good type of suffocation.
