Odd questions by an odd man

Religious Questions:
1. If God had it to do over again, would he?
2. If we were all "in the light" as He is in the light, what would He have to keep himself busy?
3. Why don't pastors ever discuss Hosea from the pulpit, or Onan?
4. Is there another earth, created by God, where his experiment didn't fail?
5. How come animals don't talk, like Baalam's donkey did?
6. At what point did having 700 wives, like Solomon, become unacceptable?
7. Did Jesus ever talk back to his mother, or would that negate his sinless life?
8. How do we make sense of Jesus descending into Hell and preaching to the dead?
9. Why is it dangerous to communicate with the dead?
10. Is everything in the Bible literal?

Career Questions:
1. At what point do I just accept that a kid is not bright?
2. Why do faculty members act like high schoolers when they disagree?
3. Why do students feel the urge to write on the whiteboard?
4. Why do students beg for extra credit and then not take the opportunity?
5. Is it a law of nature that in every class I teach, there has to be one emotionally draining student?

Now really, would you WANT 700 wives? My goodness, I can barely handle one. ;-)

As far as professional questions, well, I am as clueless as you! I have had the same student come in my room and write 'Kandy loves you' every week for 3 years. And teachers can be petty...turf battles and all that.

Yeah, no, I don't want 700 wives. I just want to know who finally figured out that it wasn't such a great thing!
