“highest stage of moral development”

Not for Colbert- he claims to be a Democrat- and I will
utter the word- a DEMON- in training

He can get laughs mocking the repugs- just look at boner-

But a Serious catholic??- probably thought he could
follow -Pelosi- and claim anything- who’s going to
challenge him?

He also knows more about Tolkien and his works than probably anybody else alive.

He's also very knowledgeable on C.S. Lewis.

In the end times, people will claim all kinds of things in the name of Christ. This is done so as to disparage the name of Christ. Not saying 'Colbert' or whatever his real name is happens to be doing this, but who could root for the Demon Obama and call himself a Christian?

Whatever. All these works will be burned up anyway.

Colbert is in my opinion a wolf in sheeps clothing pretending that he is walking a tightrope of faith and reason.

He is a stumbling block for weak Christians.

Funny thing is, he may not realize it.

A liberal Catholic. How rare is that?

You like him? Good for you. I think he’s an unfunny dope and I bet his gig at CBS won’t last long.

************************************************************************

Also unfunny (In my opinion) but no dope - Dennis Miller.

Excellent observation.

I suspect the latter.

I have to read me more on this. His views are that of an atheist or worse. I am shocked to read this article.

I think liberal Catholics (i’m conservative obviously) think that building up the military is a deadly thing, when in actuality in saved Eastern Europe and gave it back it’s freedom. Saved western europe from Russians after saving it from hitler.

Ah. Thanks for enlightening me. I’ve never watched Colbert’s show. I was thinking maybe you were alluding to Kenny Bania, but he wasn’t murdered
