But try calling on SC at your death bed. I'll be putting in my call
to JC, not SC.

'Cept you can put yourself on Christ's list anytime you want....and
you don't have to be nice. Ask Mary Magdalene. Or Matthew the tax
collector. Or me. Yep, He's coming to town. Be ready.

No, I hadn't noticed. He always seems to be there when I pray.

You don't need a number, a phone or any infrastructure whatever to
call on the Lord. Try calling Santa during a power blackout. Or a
phone system overload.

John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have
believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
I don't need to see the pictures.

How many have given their lives in service to Santa or the Tooth Fairy
or Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, etc? My guess is assymptotically
approaching zero. Many of those who knew Christ in life were
ultimately executed by the Romans. And many more have been martyred
since those times who never saw Jesus. I am confident that they were
not disappointed in the outcome.
Your superficial scepticism does not become a man of science. You are
an M.D., aren't you?
