I have not read Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals. However, I have read a 20 page autobio downloaded from the internet. What a despicable character!

If only he had not abandoned his religion and done something useful with his life, instead of exploiting human resentment to satisfy his own ego.

Maybe he did some good in his life, but I can't see it.

Giles and O’Keefe aren’t doing that exactly, though. They do not exactly have the moral stature of Jesus, and may be tempted to use their stunts more for attention than for moral correction. Personally, I am pondering whether they are more like papparazzi from the tabloids, with an unusual target, or whether they are wiser/of better character than that.

We could debate their purpose forever, and they even may not fully be aware of it. But who can deny the tremendous impact these two people have had made by becoming activists in their young lives.

I figure he brought his kid up right. The article seems well written and I agree with his pov but I don’t know much about him otherwise.

Why the questions?

Some of you probably wont see my point here.

So what exactly IS your point? Since Jesus defines what is right and wrong, who is in a position to tell Him otherwise?

Curious if you had a beef with Christianity.

Problems come when making projections from what we know to what we don’t.

It matters not what their motives were, and I’m sure it was more for future money than anything else, God will use the situation for his purpose. Bottom line.

Does that mean we shouldn’t deceive fish by hiding a hook inside a worm? Or worse yet, using plastic bait?

How about police stings? Should we outlaw them?

You enjoy dropping hints about a subject and leaving everyone guessing what the heck you’re talking about, don’t you?

Oh Lord NO! I do have a beef with morons, no matter where they place their faith.

Saw the following headline just today:

The Tea Party is all about race.

There is no need to tell lies about the left.

But it's OK for the Left to tell lies about the Right. What's that saying, 'Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth'?

And CNN just the other day had a chyron that said, 'Is right-wing extremism on the rise?'

This, after the recent spate of attacks by LEFT-WING wackos.

I know that several, if not all, of the CNN anchors are Leftists, but I never thought that CNN itself would fabricate the news, and imply a reality that's just not true.

Amen. There are many that are always shouting that the Bible teaches that we should not judge. Those people miss all the verses about God’s righteous Judgment. There is more than one verse that teaches us TO JUDGE. Nobody ever quotes those. For instance, judge righteously. Who are we to judge if not others (and ourselves)

Dawn is making a simple mistake—confusing investigation with evangelism, acting with lying. Thou shalt not condemn undercover cops ... or citizens.

Why that’s the best way to troll. Everybody has to guess what I mean and reason around all the possibilities. I learn from old masters here.

(OK, /humor)
