[The Comedian]

In some ways, 35 years later, I am still trying to catch up with a missed five-year window of opportunity. As I approach my 59th birthday, I still wrestle every day with a crippled work ethic and a penchant for short cuts, character defects that were deeply imprinted back then.

I see, so Jesus is to blame for you character flaws, and by extension, so it anyone who puts forth the proposition that prophecy maybe being fulfilled.

Gotchya.

No, I am fully responsible for "drinking the kool-ade." When we are deceived, we participate in the process, suppressing the alarm signals. A certain perverted kind of teaching appealed to the irresponsibility in me, abetted it, encouraged it. On the other hand, Jesus had sobering things to say about "teachers" who lead His people astray. About those who prey on human weakness.

(BTW -- I like your tagline. A guy in our church teaches NRA concealed carry classes.)
