God the Enabler

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The passion felt for a right to bear arms is strongest in those who make and sell weaponry. The rest of us get caught in the crossfire.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

So, tell me, when did you recognize that you are an enabler? And have you decided that you should stop that pattern of behavior with your children? Why not? Oh, I see… Well, I suppose that’s alright then. Please carry on.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Blessed are the greedy.”

[That’s not what Zacchaeus heard him say. Sallie McFague points out that you can’t find this saying in any major religion.]

D. Blog: Rampant Crime in Asheville!!!

N Wayne Thomas Carland Jr., 49, of Asheville, charged with breaking and entering and larceny. According to arrest warrants, Carland broke into a man’s residence and stole a weed eater. Carland posted $500 bond and was released. --Asheville Citizen-Times

[Truth is stranger than fiction… (1) Who keeps a weed eater in his house? (2) How poor is the man if the only thing a thief thinks worth taking is a weed eater? (3) What’s in the head of the thief who steals a weed eater? “Wow! I can probably pawn this for $5!!” (4) Finally, he can post $500 bail, but steals a weed eater???]
