I got thinking about another bible versus, and here it is:

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples saying "The scribes and the Pharises have seated themselves in the chair of Moses: therfore all that they tell you, do and observe but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things, and do not do them. "And they tie up heavy loads, and lay them on men's shoulder: but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. "But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men: for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tasssels of their garments. "And they love the place of honor at banquets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the market place and being called by men, Rabbi. "But do not be called Rabbi for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. "and do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in Heaven. "and do not be called leaders: for One is your Leader, taht is , Christ. But the greatest among you shall be your servant. "And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted" Matthew 23: 1-

Again I couldn't help but think about Dog the Bounty Hunter. How he always promotes himself. Instead of giving credit to the Lord.

How he talks about himself constantly. There is a word for such behavior. That is vanity. If he really is a Christian he should be saying "This is because of Christ." He should be as a follower of Christ promoting him not himself.

It also reminds me of how thinks of himselve as a Native American. Now PERHAPS in a past life, he might have been. But unless he knows he is he shouldn't. He should honor his own ancestors. He sould stick to his own culture.

I'm not saying, having brotherhood with other races is wrong. Far from it. I think it's admirable to understand another culture. But one must take pride in their own culture, their own ancestors.
