How about Christians who have good liking to what Jesus favored,
including lesser of love for money? How about Christians who give great
weight to dinosaurs being *at least essentially* extincted by a
cataclysmic event that they trust scientists to have occurred a goodly
63 to likely 65 million years ago, and who trust scientists who have
determined that Planet Earth formed around or somwewhat over 4 billion
years ago and that the Sun formed around 4.5 bilion years ago?

(To those in UK - where I say "billion" I mean multiplied by 1E+09,
as in how I have heard somewhat "thousand million". I have heard a bit
that in UK billion is square of milion as opposed to "thousand-million".)

If you didn't vote for Bush and Blair, then you are OK. And if you
ride a bike, then you get a round trip ticket to heaven. ;)

No, I don't know either, but we can make some educated guesses by
looking at their closest cousins --us.

What will happen is that some monkeys will try to eat more bananas --
the lion's share-- while others go hungry. Some call it "human
nature," but I bet monkeys act like that too.

So, say we have 10 bananas for 10 monkeys. Someone will eat 4, another
2, and so on. If they eat 1 banana each, they would be socialist. But
if they don't, they would be Republican.
