Truthiness??

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit Earth.” That’s another way of saying “In the end, peace prevails.”

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

A nearby church sign says you will be returning. When did you leave? Where did you go? I thought you were here the whole time.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Send me 1,000 shekels and I will personally pray for your healing.”

[Yes, we need health care reform. No, He didn’t say this.]

D. Blog: Word of the Week – “truthiness”

truthiness, what one wishes to be the truth regardless of the facts. (From the Colbert Report on television.)


[Thanks to the American Dialect Society for the reminder. This word fits some of the Jesus un-quotes. But I thought it came from a former President with the middle initial W.]
