Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA Lines: 32 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu "Women would rather be pretty than intelligent because men can see better than they can think." - anon What about those of us who would really like to have an SO and have tried and tried, but cannot because we don't fit the current standards of beauy and attractiveness ? There are some that say that its a moot point because beauty is not definied by the skin in the Kingdom of Heaven. But that is skirting the issue because the fact is that there are Christians who are lonely because they are not pretty. And the only reason that I can think of as to why God lets this go on is because this is a fallen world. The corrupt will get rich, the righteous will be troddened and people will be born maimed, cripple, stupid and ugly. Not because there is some necessary master plan to all of this, but because this world is unfair. I live my days, sometimes worrying that I will spent the later 50% of my life old and alone. Well so be it. If what'shisname can live confined to an iron lung because his face and chest was horribly disfigured in an accident, and still praise God, and if what'shername can live on welfare with six kids and a husband who rarely comes home and beats her when he does, and still praise God, well heck,then I can live as cheeply as one, spend my evenings in Church activities, eat my breakfast alone and still praise God. Why ? I don't know. If I knew, I would have accomplished something by now. ^>*<^ jon
