Dave - that was bad. We're talking about "The Word"....have you no
scruples? Don't answer. :-P

No reason to walk on tippy toes. *The Word shall make you free. *If
freedom and religion can coexist, humor must be involved. *Rigidity

I think you know me well enough to know I don't tippy toe. I just
"try" to be nice and civil. I will somewhat disagree with you though
on the "Jesus is not about power trips." I know ( I think) what you
are getting at and there is some validity to what you said, but make
no mistake about it Dave, when he comes back (and he will) - he is
going to be on the biggest "Power Trip" this universe has ever known
and it won't be pleasant for some. At least if that silly book that
was written under divine inspiration by the Lord himself is correct.
Yeppers - I think "Power Trip" just about hits it on the head.

I am not comfortable with your characterization of "Hanging Judge Jesus"
and/or "Rambo with Stigmata" Jesus. *If you truly understood
non-violence and humility, you'd agree.- Hide quoted text -

I understand no violence and all. Many people will spout on about "God
is a God of love" etc. etc. and indeed he is. I forget the verses that
talk about the Lord in that light ( I could look them up) but they
also seem to "forget" the next verses where he also says "He is a God
of anger / vengeance and wrath. It has nothing to do with the 'reader'
being or not being non violent and humble - I do agree with that.
