It isn't something that I would say. And I certainly do criticize Pastor Warren for saying it. He should denounce his statement, if he has not done so already. I doubt that if he has denounced the statement, that it got the coverage as when he made the statement. But again, the sliming that freepers are giving him says more about the slimERS than it says about the slimEE. I get pretty upset when my fellow freepers act like the Daily KOSers or the DUmmies. We're above that sort of behavior... or at least, should be.
a lot of the resonse angst comes from hurt hurt hurt in Jesus’ name.
these people are not all simply spilling awful words.
some of them are so deeply hurt by betrayal betrayal from persons they have trusted and found self-centered in the end.
it is hard to figure out what is the motive behind each response but i would venture to say that much of it is from that sense of being had one more time in the name of Jesus and the gospel.
