Guest garyah99 Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 Billy Graham. He's been battling Parkinson's Disease for almost 20 years and still keeps on fighting, and doing what he was called to do. He's in his mid 80's and (I think) just announced his retirement. He's made so much difference to so many people, while enduring his own personal pain and sickness.

Keyan Farlander Posted May 15, 2001 Author Share Posted May 15, 2001 After giving it some thought, I think I have to go with the pope (John Paul II, that is). Not too many people know much about him (aside from the fact that he is the pope). He is actually an amazing person, and has had a very interesting life. His faith is an inspiration. He also has some very interesting and brilliant ideas about what you might think of as the "academic" side of theology. When he dies, it will be the whole world's loss.

edlib Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 My parents. I can't choose just one of them. My dad because: A) He's a really cool guy and a lot of fun to be around. And B) He's the BEST jazz guitarist I've ever heard (and trust me, I've heard a LOT of 'em) And my mom, because she sacrificed so much to see that I was raised properly and didn't become a hoodlum.

Admiral Zaarin Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 Guen. The angry screams coming from her cupboard provide me with much needed amusement.

That is all the information we have sir, there is a high probability that the shuttle was destroyed in the battle. A shame.....but we'll buy George Lucas another pair of glasses.

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 Billy Graham had a pronounced negative impact on how the Christian faith was perceived in my family when I was a child. My parents were on the board of a local Methodist church that was involved in one of his 'gigs' that was in town, and there was some unpleasantness over financial issues. This caused my parents to lose faith, and raise me as an agnostic. Although my father rejoined the church later, and I found faith in Jesus myself, my mother to this day has a strong distrust of christianity (hence the guru I mentioned, who is Hindu.)

Keyan Farlander Posted May 16, 2001 Author Share Posted May 16, 2001 I was sort of hoping to avoid that obvious answer with the "living" part of the question, since he is not currently on earth in human form...well, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted May 16, 2001 Share Posted May 16, 2001 Someone mistaken me as a Buddhist yesterday. The teacher told me: "Stop meditating.." (Yeah, I was daydreaming...) Then a kid asked me: "Are you a Buddhist?" Then I said "No." It was cool! [This message has been edited by JR2000Z (edited May 15, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
