Sure Pat “I was for Ariel’s stroke because he divided the Holy Land until I
was against Ariel’s stroke ‘cause I couldn’t have my Theme Park” Robertson
has his followers, and has called for assassinations, and other such crap.
|

However, his followers wouldn’t amount to many thousands of people storming
the streets. There were 200,000+ muslims in one protest wit hthe burning
flags and calling for the heads of cartoonists.
|
Did he actually call for the assassination? If he did, what’s up with those
no-good followers of his who aren’t following orders? Talk is cheap.
Protected, in fact.

Well, let’s see. If I go on-air to millions and declare that a certain US
President should be assassinated, will Conservatives rally around me to protect
my right to free speech?
Of course, if I were a dessicated, talentless hack who called for the poisoning
of a sitting Supreme Court Justice, I suppose I could laugh off my terroristic
threat as a “joke,” right?

I don’t think Robertson could muster 20 people to go “storming the gates” to
kill people. And if he did, I, along with millions of Christians around the
world, would flat out no holds barred, denounce him and his zealots
unequivocably as non-Christians.

AAhmen and Ahmen. Well spoken, Bruce!

Who are you talking to?

And I would disagree with that notion--the Christians that I know are
peace-first types. One has to look no further than the LSK funeral to see
that Christians, at least the true believers of God’s word, are like this.
|
“True believers of God’s word”-- careful Dave, that can be very easily
misconstrued. I would word it thusly: “faithful followers of Christ’s Gospel
of radical love”. Not as pithy, but more explicit and less likely to be
confused with some other whacked-out group of “true believers”.
|
Well, that’s the whole point, I guess. I’m not worried about you sensible
Christians (though apparently you don’t know when to rein in your profanity, or
something!) any more than I’m worried about the sensible Muslims I know. It’s
the fringe loonies who cause the problems.
If the United States feels justified in issuing direct proclamations against
outspoken, radical mullahs (and it does), then it should feel obligated to issue
similar proclamations aginst outspoken, radical evangelists (as opposed to
meeting with them and using them to drum up votes).
Dave!
