Judging from my past choices, reasonable women apparently aren't my type...(I thought they were, but I was wrong.)

But yes, I believe in giving them a good reason to be pissed...something meaningful...The Crusades come to mind.

Wrong frame of mind.

There is only one perspective to properly hold on the situation, and that is through faith in Christ.

Insofar as what those who fail to believe in Christ think, they are free within the legitimate authority of national governance to behave within those systems, but that will not bring them any closer to God, nor to righteousness.

With respect to the pastor who burnt the Koran, he has a spiritual gift given him by God and his reported role as a pastor also implies both a responsibility to properly lead his flock and to God for performing as a Pastor-Teacher to his flock through faith in Christ. With respect to our national governance, he is living and acting within the bounds of his authority.

If it is the case that he was not acting though faith in Christ, not to teach his flock through faith in Christ, but as many allege was simply seeking publicity or sought to influence others outside his flock, then there is consideration for the argument that he shouldn’t inflame those who seek God when He knows how better to avoid manmade conflict. I’ll leave that for God to judge, as I do not know his heart when he performed this act.

The Koran is not a sacred script. It fails to recognize Christ for the work He performed on the Cross and has a fundamental problem when dealing with Divine Justice.

The only people insulted by the pastors actions are those who already insult God. An argument to higher authority reveals they lack a righteous ground to claim offense. Their actions of violence are simply envy and hatred of those who fail to think as they believe they should, rather than how God has provided a solution for how they should think.

Until they can come to God on God’s terms and not theirs, they lack righteousness.
