See what happens when Jeebo-Fascists like JDG get power:
Can you lay off John and anyone else on this list you disagree with?
There was absolutely no call to even mention John in your post.
Regardless of what John believes or how much you may disagree with
him,
you have no business making him the poster boy for whatever
crusade you
happen to be on.
This is the kind of thing JDG promotes. Since he promotes these kinds
of things incessantly it is not all inappropriate to mention him.
Frankly, I would prefer it if all of us on this list would refrain from
personal attacks. JDG had no reason to appear in your post, other than
the grudge you evidently carry about your belief that he promotes these
kinds of things.
Pinning this on him was over the line. Calling him a "Jeebo-fascist" was
over yet another line, one that is more broadly recognized in this
community: we don't make personal attacks.
With all that, thanks for the post. It goes with my recent rant (not on
list) that God is definitely working through those your so-called
"Jeebo- Fascists", just not at all the way they think He is. Pat
Robertson's murderous ravings, the failure of programs like this one and
the nonsense of "intelligent design" are all contributing to a sense
that conservative Christianity is off the rails. Now, if we liberal
Christians can just get off our asses and tell the story of a
Christianity that doesn't label anyone who is not *exactly* like us a
damned sinner, maybe we'll be getting somewhere.
Peace,
Dave
