Spirit of Christmas Present: My time with you is at an end, Ebenezer Scrooge. Will you profit from what I've shown you of the good in most men's hearts?
Ebenezer: I don't know, how can I promise!
Spirit of Christmas Present: If it's too hard a lesson for you to learn, then learn this lesson!
[opens his robe, revealing two starving children]
Ebenezer: [shocked] Spirit, are these yours? Spirit of Christmas Present: They are Man's. This boy is Ignorance, this girl is Want. Beware them both, but most of all, beware this boy!
Ebenezer: But have they no refuge, no resource?
Spirit of Christmas Present: [quoting Scrooge] Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

An old man was eating in a truck stop when three rough-looking bikers walked in. As they passed the old man, the first biker pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, then laughed and took a seat at the counter. The second biker picked up the old man's milk and spit into it. The third biker turned over the old man's plate before joining the others at the counter.
Without saying a word to the laughing bikers, the old man put his money down, got up, and left the diner. One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Not much of a man, was he?"
The waitress replied, Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his big rig over three motorcycles!

UNCLE KRACKER Memphis Soul Song
Lookin' back on everything And all the things that stay I can count on memories Cuz they don't go away Good times were hard to hold Until she came along She moves me like a Memphis soul song
I'm not always there I know But she don't mind at all As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall She's like Mississippi
When the sun comes up at dawn She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She don't care what the game is She's always down to play My world without her seems a million miles away She don't have to worry I know where I belong She moves me like a Memphis soul song
I've been dealt some aces And I've played them all the same But she's the only one that keeps me in the game No fame or fortune could ever keep me gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song She moves me like a Memphis soul song
[BRIDGE] There's a magic down in Memphis That never seems to fade Even now them voices carry Like a lonely serenade It's the memories that still and always will be on my mind They move me every time
She see's the good in everything there is to see Sometimes I wonder what she ever see's in me I'm not always right you know But she's never led me wrong She moves me like a Memphis soul song
In all my travels I've never found a way To find the words that say the things I'd like to say I've sang some melodies but she's my favorite one She moves me like a Memphis soul song With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song She moves me like a Memphis soul song

[Brer Rabbit has gotten himself entangled in the messy tar that was the Tar Baby, and Brer Fox and Brer Bear dance around him victoriously]
Uncle Remus: [narrating] Well, sir, you ain't never seen nobody that had humble-come-tumbledness down as fine as what Brer Rabbit had it then. Poor little critter, he learned a powerful lesson. But he learned it too late. But it just goes to show what comes of mixin' up with somethin' you got no business with in the first place. And don't you never forget it.

3. Submission:
Muslims believe that those who submit to the will of God, as explained by Muhammad, will be saved and have a place in Paradise after they die. In Paradise believers will experience both spiritual and physical pleasure for all eternity. Those who do not repent and follow God will spend eternity in suffering in Hell. In the Qur'an 98:1-8, it states: "The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures." ("People of the Book" refers to Christians, Jews and Muslims). Islam is susceptible to ethical critiques of the immorality of punishing people for all eternity for a temporal "sin" that may be nothing more than rational, justified disbelief. Islam is also susceptible to arguments against the possibility that physical existence or experience can continue for eternity in a non-physical realm.

There once was a man who had a superstitious faith in geomantic omens. He consulted the geomancer beforehand concerning all signs beneficial. or unfortunate.
One day, while he was sitting at the foot of a wall, the wall collapsed on top of him. He cried, "Help!" His servants came over to have a look and said, "Be patient, Master. Let's ask the geomancer if it is a good omen to break the ground today."
