What is PDT

i think its a time zone, but i haven't a clue which one. i hope it isn't soon. 

OKay. this is going to be a probably blasphemous post, on account of my general ignorance of faith/the faith/things of this nature. It may also be offensive because i am challenging the practices of christians in my life and their practices of faith. 

 problem number one: faithful person X has their msn name "speak lord your servant is listening" i think this is problematic, one because since when does a servant command their master, and two since when is "the lord" anyone's master. What does that mean...to be the master of something? it carries with it connotations of power relations, one who can enact a position of power over another; also it suggests that there is perhaps some sort of debt, or that a master is one with superior (skill/power/intellect) which merits their higher placement in some sort of hierarchy. So why do we make ourselves servants to "the lord"? is servant the right word; i thought the christian god asks for obedience not service. I mean what service to 'him' could we presume to do, that 'he' has not made us capable of, if that is the case isn't it just humble obedience to what good we were created for that we should be acting, rather than command 'him' to direct us as servant pawns? 

 i dunno, i hear too many people claiming their beliefs not as gifts, for which they are humbly thankful, but rather as a reason for their action in the world. which is a problematic and possibly dangerous position...is it not?
