[I waited 45 seconds and actually posted something substantial--Ed.]
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.
You may have a lot of agreement amongst the . . .
folks concerned with prissy netiquette . . .
However, I don’t recall ever submitting my preferences and style habits to that editorial panel.
I love variety.
And given the paucity of tone and other options on the net . . . I enjoy what variety there is all the more.
But, hey, in the interest of fairness—please feel free to scroll on by my screen name whenever it comes on the horizon.

At the same time, Haggard has angered some religious conservatives for urging Christians to protect Muslims in the days following 9/11 and more recently for urging missionary outreach to Muslims, but not to win converts or force Christianity on them.
“””
No, that pastor had meth parties with a gay escort and is no longer with that church. His “outreach” was more like interfaith dialogue instead of actually trying to win coverts.
What satan purposes for evil, God thwarts....
Amen.
amen
God would allow for “a time to defend oneself and one’s family.” But, I don’t picture Him as a God who seeks to “destroy and maim”. That’s the “job” of the serpent.

I’ll let ECC 3:3 speak to that,,,;0)
I’ve been seeing this repeated on this thread but there has not been anything said about this in the press conference or on FNC.
But it's so, so.. well.. common. :)
Not quite sure what you’re asking.
certainly satan intends death, destruction, stealing to deprive, maim, imprison folks ultimately in hell.
God intends for Life, liberty, abundant life, eternal life in and through Christ and HIs Spirit.
However, God also is against evil and disciplines evil in a myriad of ways . . . and has scheduled
evil’s utter destruction.
. . . as well as the destruction of all evil’s cohorts and assistants.
But yeah, the choice is each individual’s. Hell was made for satan and his angels. But God will not force folks into Heaven nor allow Heaven to be polluted with rebellion, idolatry, stubbornness, greed, lust etc.
will do! I don’t like being screamed at.
Very interesting. I’d say INDEED—HIGHLY LIKELY.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
My family is a micro family at this point! LOL.
Step-dad is 85.
And a friendly treasured roomer/housemate.
Anything's possible, but I seriously doubt it had anything to do with what happened today.
So, you have emphatic and comprehensive evidence, info that
NO OTHER STAFF MEMBER at the church took up the baton and carried it further in righteous ways???
Thanks for your kind affirmation.
I remember the talk of reaching out to the Muslim Community post-9/11 as I was living in Colorado at the time. The thing is — just because Haggard isn’t still there doesn’t mean that the ministry or inter-faith dialogue between the church and that community isn’t perhaps ongoing... I wouldn’t want to make an assumption at this point regarding the motive of the perp, but it’s not a completely far-fetched idea that it may have something to do with the WOT... Time will tell...
That'all do!!!
GIT’R’DONE!!!...;0)
