It's in the Bag

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

War destroys far more than it protects or preserves.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I think I gave it to you willingly, without reservation or condition. It is yours to keep, no matter whether occasional doubts and questions arise. Those are no threat to our relationship; they simply make it more interesting and exciting. My soul is yours to keep. I trust you to keep it safe. You will not misplace it or lose it, trade it or sell it. You will not put it on display as an object in a collection. You will treasure it as something precious to which you relate, something like a parent whose child comes of age and enjoys being with its parents. You respect it for its history and its future. You embrace it as a part of your being. Keeper of my soul, there is nothing better I could have done than to give it to you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Blessed are those who kill people to proclaim the sacredness of life.”

[Sorry, doctor killers, He never said it.]

D. Blog: It’s In the Bag??

[Thanks to idiomsite.com]

"In the bag. Meaning 'secured'.

This idiom Originated in Great Britain when a bag was placed under the Speaker's chair. If there was a petition that was 'put in the bag' then it must be raised on that day."

[A public insurance option soon in the bag, perhaps?]
