So day after day you hear of babies being aborted by the millions per year.
And you don’t or won’t understand Ann’s rage.
Knowing of the atrocities of abortion and not EXPRESSING outrage may indicate a lack of moral maturity.
Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam
Tell that crap to Isaiah.
The renown arrogance of these truthy prophets of old just screams, “unbalanced with rage”.
People believed or didn’t believe back then too. Choice is still infinite, to live or die with, even today.
Obviously, we are all lining up accordingly.
“I’m not Catholic.....”
LOL.
I’m not a strawberry?
Ann is not Isaiah, and she does not hold the door to salvation.
To think otherwise is crap.
The point is what is Ann’s goal? Preaching to the choir, or waking people up?
She’s good at the righteous snarling and condemnation and mockery. So what? You think that’s going to make people stop and think? Yo think people, like me, who think she’s shooting herself in her own foot, don’t understand what makes her angry? Nonsense. But there’s effective and non-effective anger - and she’s not effective. All she does is whip up people who already agree with her, and make sure those who don’t shut off. She’s righteous enough to be perfectly fine with that. She’s also righteous enough to think that she speaks for God. But is she trying to save souls, or reveling in the idea that sinners will burn? The difference is EVERYTHING.
Or is she just being her own fan club? Ever think of that?
I think that for all of Saint Stephen's tough talk, he was also teaching and trying to save sinners by including reasonable teachings, comparisons, and arguments. I think Saint Stephen genuinely wanted those sinners to repent, and was trying as hard as he could to help them do that, and wake them up by plainly confronting them with their wrongdoing while supporting it with things they could comprehend, and invoking the glory of God that was still available for them if they repented their sinning.
In contrast, I think Ann wants sinners to burn while she laughs with righteous fury over their agony.
To me, therefore, the former represents saintly sanity, while the latter represents hateful madness.
AMEN!! I wish I had a stronger word. Thanks for stepping up and nailing to down.
You must be a woman or a liberal.
Ann is too harsh, too hurtful, she doesn’t play nice with others (who happen
to be godless morons), she’s not tolerant, she isn’t loving, she just wants unrepentant dinners to be damned, (as promised by The Lord), she’s just, just, just too mean to bad people.
Oh you poor little waif, Ann gets you all nervous....
For the Greater Glory of God
Read Matthew 25 from verse 31. Sheep and goats. They have one thing in common. Both are surprised.
The headline fits Republican leaders and conservatism even better.
And you're a coward.
I’m very happy for you ;-)
The use of the word “cool” in this sense pre-dates the 1960s and the hippiness by several decades, so your explanation is not credible.

Not to doubt you; some citations or references would be helpful.
At any rate, the point offered remains valid. As with any collapse or catastrophe earlier factors contribute and oft become more pronouced or developed as the collapse or catastrophe commences.
Great Words.
Peace In Christ
BTW, the word "cool" is an old jazz musicians' word. Much of the hippie vocabulary was cribbed from old jazz musicians.
“Ann Bernhardt always makes a number of God points, but she seems to be unbalanced with rage...”
She’s not a saint, she’s a scold. The world needs both.
The world has far too few of the former, and far too many of the latter. And while she is the latter, she shows every indication of believing she's the former.
“... she shows every indication of believing she’s (a saint).”
Perhpas you could show a handful of examples of her “every indication?” You see something I don’t.
