I knew you'd reply with the same sorts of verses I would use.<br /><br />I will say this for you though: You are a better "Christian" man than I am. Because there's no way a person who would post a thing like that would be called "a blogger friend of mine". I lost patience with those folks more than a decade ago, and nowadays, all I'd want to do is smack them down and shame them for the rest of the (logical) world to see.<br /><br />As I said (and meant), you're a better Christian man than I am. I simply can't "play nice" anymore. Tried that but it just wasn't in me.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'<br /><br />POSTSCRIPT: I recall many years ago being in a record store and at the checkout counter was a sign that said something like: Be A Vegetarian! Be More Like Jesus Was!<br /><br />I had to point out to the cash register dude that Jesus was NOT a vegetarian. (Yeah, you know which verse I quoted.) He was really surprised: Wow! Really?<br /><br />I didn't want to discombobulate his entire life by also telling him that Jesus is NOT Pro-Choice either.Stephen T.

I can't for the live of me figure out where they get the recurring idea that the crusades accomplished anything, but to them, we'd all be speaking Arab without 'em.<br /><br />Thank you for the compliments.

Maybe you got a lot of visitors who were stunned speechless.<br /><br />I think you really nailed your assessment of this divisive bit of nonsense. You hit every point squarely on the nose like it deserved to be. That meme is just one of those shameful bits of propaganda that folks look at and pass around thinking it's all pc and such.<br /><br />In addition to your closing advice to the blogger let me quote from Romans 14:22<br /><br />"So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.

Memes just pop up and people just copy and paste. It's no wonder our youth (and even my age) get their news from places like Twitter and Comedy Central. It's fast, easy and takes no thought. Thanks for breaking this down.<br /><br />Item number two was what really hit home with me. Jesus loves everyone. He just wants them to truly be sorry for what they've done and accept Him into their heart and they'll be forgiven. Such a simple concept that's easily distorted. <br /><br />The case of hearing only what you want to hear and knowing only what you heard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
