Lamb, you continue to impress me with your thoughts(Lamb busa @ May 15 2007,16) In the end, good people is good people! Jerry Falwell has proved, like Jesse Jackson and many a fallen priest that just because you're religious doesn't make you good people!
For every negative and clearly ignorant statement that Falwell uttered there are 10's of 1000's of postive and thoughtful ones! Even though Lamb isn't religious, he still prefers to remember people in a positive light! He would pack Qualcomm stadium 2 days in a row! once a year! First day in english, second day in spanish! Somebody was getting something from what he had to say! Whether it was gay bashers or Vegans, somebody was trying to find solace and direction! Not all of us need religion to find our way, but a few of those who do tried with Jerry Falwell. For that Lamb gives him props! He was about trying to help people, misguided or not!
That is the second most blatant, personal attack I have seen in this thread ! Just teasing I have nothing but love for most of you and rest of you ...(VaBusa @ May 15 2007,15:43)...and apparently I hate you Gunny...just so you know(Gunnybusa @ May 15 2007,18:10) I'm cool and I'm a Christian
steve i think you better have good insurance.
And that is more or less my thought of most Televangelist's... I'm not judging them by any means, but I refuse to watch them... Each time I do, it feels like they just want to make money off the TV show they're doing (Benny Hinn, the faith healer comes to mind)... If someone wants to praise God, they will read the Bible or gather with some friends (IE, church, fellowship, whatever they'd like), not turn on the TV and be a Sloth (1 of the 7 deadly sins...). As the Bible says, where 2 or more are gathered, God will be there. Basicly, the sabbath was on a saturday, not sunday as they would have you believe and is actually in some of their church statements. My views have gone from Nazarene church, where I've only felt the Spirit there when 1 pastor was preaching, and that was my Uncle (By the way, my step dad was a pastor, never felt the spirit with him); to Church of the Bretheren, where the only pastor I've seen preach reminds me of my step dad (my friends dad is a pastor for the Bretheren, GREAT guy, just never seen him preach, as he travels 1 1/2 hrs to preach each Sunday), and now I'm feeling PULLED by the Holy Spirit to Messianic Jewdiasm (sp)... I've been 1 time, and out of EVERY church I've been to, I felt something more that day... I believe God doesn't want us to be angry with others, or to outcast them... Gay, non-christian, or otherwise... Quite the opposite, we should embrace them. As stated before, ALOT of my friends, accuantances, or whatever are FAR from being Christian, and if thats what they choose, so be it, their still my friend, and I won't push religion on them. I've noticed that those who push religion on others actually drive them away.
Anyway, Rant over... God Bless.
I liked a bumper sticker from years ago that read : " The Moral Majority is Neither "

my thoughts: He was a Man of God who spoke as what he perceived as Truth. one time i listened to a sermon on tv he did on drinking alcohol. it was so powerful to me that i almost sent away for the cassette. at least i know where he is today- there is no doubt in my mind. He is literally resting in peace now. amen.
