I have also been reading some of the posts here in relationship to the prison-murder of the pedophile priest.

Many Christians expressed a sense of joy upon hearing this news.......(though many expressed dismay and also a sense of disappointment in the attitude of those expressing the "joy")

We also know Slavery in the United States was condonned on the grounds that it was acceptible in the Jewish biblical culture (as expressed in the Bible)

Now, putting these ideas together, I ask you, (based on your attitudes expressed so far)....

......COULD NOT some obvious "illegality" be "justified" based on the expression of these same Christian principles?.......i.e.........What if the Christians who felt the priest should have been executed removed him from prison and lynched him?......

My point, in general, is.....

isn't there something to be feared when a sense of "righteous" anger , or "righteous" superiority is unleashed in the name of GOD?.......

the issue of whether this monument is "up" or "down" seems less relevant than the feelings behind the issue, which it seems people are not fully expressing.

I suspect there'd be a different attitude if Roy Moore was a Black Muslim, plastering Muslim iconography all over the Alabama Judicial Building.

That Geoghan thread opened my eyes. Rejoicing over the death of even a heinous criminal in graphic terms is decidedly un-Christlike.

But, I got smeared for agreeing with Pope John Paul II who had the audacity to actually PRAY for the 9/11 hijackers.
