Getting Media Attention

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

It’s difficult for a peaceful voice to attract media attention.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One, Humbling One,

He said “Blessed are the meek.” It was also written that pride goes before a fall. Knowing who you are, how can we be anything but humble when speaking of you? Those who take pride in speaking for you had best watch out.

Dare I take pleasure in the fall that will befall these arrogant religionists? I suppose it is better for me to see the sadness of their position, which I further suppose is also sometimes my position.

In my humble opinion, it would serve your purposes well to show that the fundamentals of the fundamentalists are nowhere near your fundamentals. You go much less for ideology than you do for attitudes. Beliefs matter less than acts of compassion.

So He taught. So I have come to see over time. So let it be.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I’m the Man!”

[Whatever He said, it wasn’t this.]

D. Blog: Neutralize Iran?

I read that some publicity-seeking, overweight, right wing preacher has weighed in on foreign policy. The US should “neutralize” Iran in order to protect Israel, he says.

I hardly know where to begin…

Perhaps with “why do these same few crackpot independent preachers get publicity when the thousands of measured, thoughtful preachers accountable to denominational structures and review are ignored by media?”

Perhaps with “didn’t Jesus himself once announce Israel’s destruction when it had abandoned its covenant to be a light unto the nations?” (The point being that it's not a Bible-based position for him to take.)

Perhaps with “thank God for separation of church and state, unlike the state of Iran, right preacher?” (I don’t know whether he would get the sarcasm.)

Perhaps with “and who will neutralize you, preacher of hate?”

Not our sensationalist-loving media.
