Ok, b0nnylass after my whir of muck based posting (which I deleted btw) in response to one of your posts, I see your point. We're getting a little faithbased here but there is a time to say, "Wait that's not the Christianity I learned". I was so appalled at what I saw within the realms of my faith that I ran from it. I went out and bought a Tanakh and a copy of the Quran also an encyclopedia of World Religions believing that the Jesus I knew wouldn't chop my eyes out for wanting to know about other humans beliefs. I read a little of each copy easily available in my country, but quickly discovered that the Tanakh seems to be an extended version of the Old Testament and the Quran gave no reference on how to create an IED or "kill the rest of the world" I didn't read all of them - it's just no fun to read the texts when there is no one to discuss them. I don't want to convert to another faith either because as I understand my own I like it. Execution of said faith well, that's tricky.
I don't consider myself a person of great faith because I've kinda been forced to see what I believe through trial and error. Who knows? Maybe that makes me a Thomasonian Christian. I really wish I'd quit the trial and error thing, and maybe anyone whose read my posts does too.
I see your point with immigration, are these really Christians that want to take the kindergartners scoop them up on buses and fast-track them across the border with maybe a peanut butter sandwich and a carton of milk, and say bye-bye Carlitos? Or do we need to hush the hype and get a real solution to the problems that face us?
Both candidates seem to want do something to reverse the flow of things, but if we drag out the freaking coat hangers and scary pictures again and nit pick irrelevant garbage like Hillary's pant-suit and Palin's glasses -we're not ever going to get to point.
This country's government is of the people by the people and for the people. Well, guess what? We're the people! Even me, despite what I may have said previously so I tune in to Cspan and see that while government is trying to make decisions the legislators have a couple of reams of typed paper to filter through while their making their points and I think to myself; straight talk has it's place and so does change we can believe.
Will the news magazines and the journalists please, please tell us something relevant?
