According to Julian Barnes' new book on death he has created 350,000 types of them. I believe God is also keen on Mitochondrial DNA God must like beetles.

Did you think the other 9 commandments were optional? What's the point of believing in God (which I do) if you don't make loving and doing right by others your top priority? Surely there's no better way to worship God than by true honour and deference to his creation? Lisamichelle7: I note that your list of things doesn’t include:

I watched your film. I am a christian. I felt that the Alpha course you were filming came across as the blind leading the blind. I am not aware of all the information that was given at the meetings (you filmed). Can I please point you in the direction of a John MacArther - the website Grace to You (GTY). To become a christian you need to do a few very real and very important things - It cant fail, it is from God - not man, 1/pray and invite God into your life. 2/forgive your sins 3/Pray to ask God to make your heart right with him 4/Ask God to fill you will the Holy spirit. (a very real result of the Holy spirit is that you will WANT and WILL sing songs of thanks and praise to God). (I now understand the meaning of being drunk on the Holy spirit and not of wine). Please contact and film John McArther - He truly teaches the word of God. Speaking in tongues is not something I would expect people to do unless they have a solid prayer life, and I am amazed that after a few classes that the Alpha course was asking people to do something they had no real understanding of. Please forward this comment to Jon Ronson. Grace to you Lisa Michelle Message for Jon Ronson (can you please pass this on).
