If you've read my previous posts (and I'm pretty certain you haven't!), I acknowledged that there are people out there who may great solace and peace at receiving a Bible. For those people, I am truly glad.

It's not a matter of a Bible NOT being a priority to me. Common sense dictates that it's probably not a high priority for a lot of people at the Astrodome and thru the Gulf Coast.

Food, water and medicine are getting thru to certain areas along the Gulf Coast - but not in the quantities needed. That is my point.

Let's feed and shelter some people (throughout the Gulf Coast). Those should be the first priorities for any aid group in that area - not handing out Bibles.

I read your posts, and I can see you have anger management issues.
Or, possibly, Tourretts....
Or maybe you were raised by (very rude) wolves....
Anyway,
I'm not disagreeing with you. However, nowhere was it cited that food, water and medical supplies were not the first priority. You made that assumption and continued to rant on about it.

From the article:
"The Gideons International are sending 40,000 Personal Witnessing Testaments (New Testament, Psalms, Proverbs) to be distributed at the Astrodome and other relief centers in Houston."
And this fills you with rage because YOU ASSUME that
A. People will not get necessities
B. Something must be sacrificed to get the "Bibles" to these places.

"Common sense dictates that it's probably not a high priority for a lot of people at the Astrodome and thru the Gulf Coast"
'Common sense' (she rewrote while smiling)is not something you seem to be using to its optimal capacity.

"Food, water and medicine are getting thru to certain areas along the Gulf Coast - but not in the quantities needed."
If this is true you might as well blame GWB, he has more influence than the Gideon People.

Let me reiterate, Mr Angry Man: They are getting aid. No one is racing forward in the BibleMobile to get there ahead of the Red Cross to convert the suffering.

A Bible may be a very comforting thing to have on you when you have NOTHING left.

Now stop being silly.
