I think most of Latin America could be considered Christian, though to me it looks a lot more like Catholicism mixed with whatever native religions were around. You're right, though, the most Christ-deprived countries are dominated by Islam, as well as Buddhism and Hinduism. I'm not sure which route I'd take with only 100,000.
BTW, when it comes to the kind of culture that is outside the realm of faith, I'm much more interested in learning from than teaching foreigners. I don't believe my ethnicity is superior at all.

Pay off my student loans and then move to New York or Israel so I can learn to speak Hebrew fluently and hopefully somehow get into an Orthodox Jewish Seminary
Or you can move in with elohyim! He would probably charge far less than a Orthodox Jewish Seminary. :think:

I'm sure it would cost less, but the quality would drop exponentially.

I'd donate it all to charity.

No, I guess I dont, I really dont know how i could fight hollywood! Sure agree about it not being a good thing.
I didnt say I "dont like your god". That is another matter, for sure!
As for myself, I am motivated to help others out of empathy. But I dont care so much what reason a person may have, its what you do that counts, dont you think?
Now that you are thinking about it, maybe you will come up with something you can do. Dont let the best be enemy to good enough!
As in dont wait for a lottery before you do anything at all.
Good luck, and its cool that your first thought is to do for others.

I'll have to return it since I don't play the lottery :noid:
I got money. Time to buy TOL to reinvent it.
100,000 can buy a pretty nice gun.
You'll find out Brandon always has a kind word. It makes him a real hit with the ladies.:wazzup:
Does anyone else suspect the entire point of this OP was to see how long it would take someone to write:
"I'm going to Disneyland!"

In Africa, it can buy you a good band of mercs.
If I got rich, I might go warlord. That'd surely be fun.
Plus, a Heathen warlord might make quite a few headlines

To me, it's not just what you do that counts. It's also who it is you're serving when you do such things: For yourself? No, you won't derive enough joy to sustain your service if it is done out of self-interest. For other people? Other people will always let you down, so that cannot be a long-term motivator either. For God? Yes! He rewards you with enough peace, grace, and joy to sustain your service and will never let you down.
I'm still thinking about the imperialism thing. Last night, I listened to an old friend of mine talk about missionary work in China. Although she doesn't realize it, I guess she is, in a way, serving American imperialism by being an ambassador of America as well as of Christ. That's because she has to present herself as an American student and businesswoman to get around easier. Well, the Chinese already ignorantly think of us as a Christian nation. We shouldn't be trying to make America look better, we should want to make Christ look better for God's glory. Perhaps I'm being too critical of her. In fact, I know I am.
