That reminds me of a chick tract- Holy Joe! (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0002/0002_01.asp)

Which musical was it--guys and dolls, maybe?--that featured a revival meeting at a soup kitchen? Free soup, but you have to sit through a sermon first. Who's scamming whom?

And my collegues wonder why I dislike the Chaplain's Corps.

He calls himself a ''Southern Baptist evangelist,'' and justifies the war and killing with a verse from the Gospel of Matthew, which he often recites: ``Give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's.

''This means we are called upon by our government to fight and that is giving unto Caesar, as the Bible tells us,'' he said.


HuHhh??

Is it possible to bend any bible verse to support or deny anything? It sure seems that way.

How does this verse mean that we (well, Xians) are supposed to fight for the govenment?

It's just rhetoric in favor of upholding the status quo. It's something barbarians do when they want to pretend they're more civilized than the other barbarians.

I would like to know whether it's moral or immoral to light one's own farts on fire. It sure isn't mentioned in the ten commandments. Let's see some bible passages :D

God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, which symbolizes a noisy fart that burns. Therefore, fart lighting is an activity of the divine, so it must be moral.

Reading the other thread, I must say I get a kind of Landover Baptist (http://www.landoverbaptist.org/) feeling about this article. Maybe somebody was just fooling around with the reporter?
