Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted May 3, 2011 Administrators Posted May 3, 2011 Now it all makes sense: Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)

Dottie Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." Martin Luther King (Sort of the way I felt when I heard it.) Quote
ClubV12 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I see love in killing, capturing or containing those who would injure or kill others if they were allowed to continue down their chosen path. Mercy and Justice must mix. God wiped out earth with the flood because if He had not done so, evil would have taken over the planet entirely. You just gotta draw the line somewhere, justice must be served at some point, mixed with mercy. I don't know the details of how this particular engagement went down, but I do it was justified. Closure for the victims and a clear message to the world, terrorisism (hate) cannot and will not be tolerated. Martin Luther's concern was a people rising up to take revenge, no matter how justified that might be. "Hate" is not the answer. But Martin Luther surely supported the concept of containment in order to protect society. Quote
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted May 3, 2011 Author Administrators Posted May 3, 2011 You know, some people find it offensive to interrupt a good sermon with a joke... It just seems inappropriate and incongruous. Comedians likewise find it offensive to be heckled with preaching. It just seems out of place and shows bad timing.

Dr. Rich Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Hmmm? So now we will never know who really took down the towers--will we? Let's see now, who was it that benefitted? Oh yea, the United States Corporation known as the FEDS. And who really lost? Could it have been "We The People" who lost our freedoms when the Patriot Act was passed? Now maybe you will understand why they refused to allow Spence (the famous Wyo. attorney who just sued the FBI and won 2 million, to testify on this issue in Washington. However, I do feel the same as Dottie. Quote
jasd Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 >>"Sorry it took so long to get you a copy of my birth certificate..." And, according to photoshop experts - sorry, it's such a clumsy forgery... But why so blatant with the forgery? Like, scrue you, I'll give you whatever I want - "I won". Joke: Sheesh! first it was BP with the oil spill in the Gulf, then it was the Fukushima run-off into our Seas, and now - they dump bin Laden in the Ocean! Yumpin' Yiminy! Ain not nobody got no GREEN sense nohow!? Quote
Dottie Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I would like to make a correction in my previous post. I have found that the first sentence is the opinion of a poster on another website. Only the last part is a direct quote from MLK, Jr. Quote
ClubV12 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Tom, "You know, some people find it offensive to interrupt a good sermon with a joke..." Point well taken Tom, thanks for that! :) Quote
skyblue888 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Joke: Sheesh! first it was BP with the oil spill in the Gulf, then it was the Fukushima run-off into our Seas, and now - they dump bin Laden in the Ocean! hehe If he still had his shoes on, one of them or both might show up on a beach somewhere. Seems to be the trend these days. Quote "The merits of His sacrifice are sufficient to present to the Father in our behalf." S.C.36.
jasd Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Joke: New cocktail for the cognescenti... the bin Laden - two shots and a splash of water. Okay, that's it. I'm aware of those who have no sense of humor... Quote
