I think that was an irresponsible comment by Jackson Jr.

I was wondering when the hell God is going to die of old age. I like the Jacksons, but sometimes they say stupid things.

2. No its ok. Lots of Christians believe that due to certain lines in the NT
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 10:26 AM by Tinoire
about what will happen when the End Times roll around- this statement may way them up because will start to make them think about the AntiChrist and the beast. I'm a firm Christian and have no problem with that statement- what the Left needs to do is point out "Hell Yeah! It's God getting Bush the *uck out of the way!" because Bush is FINISHED now. F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D!

This is actually the time for the Left to plaster all this Satan-flashing pictures of Bush, Laura and his daughters.

12. Just tell the Christians that
Lots of mileage there. Anyone who believes that God's hand was in there will have few problems, after a little discussion and the pictures I posted, thinking about the fact that they've been one of the millions misled by the Beast.

I'm not telling you or anyone else to believe that- just carpe diem (sieze the day) and paint Bush as what he is- the Beast forrerunner of the AntiChrist. Trust me on this one- I've used it with much success because it's a very scary thing for Christians, the fear of being misled, worshipping the Beast and being cut off from God.

Wish the Left could be as machiavellic as the Right- all this ammunition laying around and we don't know how to use it.

8. That was a truly strange comment.
The hurricane may have been an act of nature, or an 'act of God', if you will, but God didn't cut FEMA funding... bush did that, and is directly responsible for the disasters resulting from those cuts... just as he is directly responsible for the increasing poverty rate in this country.

The people have no food... and the emperor has no clothes.

10. I thought his comment was touching.
Lead me to think, "maybe, this had to happen in order to expose the true character of the BushCO/neoCON regime to the fore,...to those who are still in denial about the callousness and carelessness and greed of this regime".

Moreover, I consider Jackson, Jr. an exceptional advocate for Americans. He is incredibly articulate and pure-hearted.

13. I agree.
It takes a special type to look at the state of affairs today, and focus on Jesse Jackson, Jr as being the real problem.

18. Sure do.
They could at least quote Jesse correctly. But that would be asking too much.

14. *sigh*
Matthew 5:43-45:
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for

.....he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
