Deaths On Parade

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

No matter what the circumstance, give peace a chance.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Not lightly, but gently you suffer some fools. Fools for Christ. Enthusiasts for you, those with mental handicaps, harmless old fools. Fools like me, I hope. With you, the suffering is light but serious. It’s part of who you are – the compassionate shepherd of wandering sheep.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“What this world needs is a good 5-cent cigar.”

[He lived in a different world, but He never said this.]
