Wow, miss a day, miss alot.

Pastorboy continues to re-assure us that he doesn’t know what satire is.

And Tim Bell, either knows what satire is and has attained the rank of ninja at it, or … well, that’d be uncharitable, so lets go with satire ninja.

I’m just mad someone stole my song. My verse was verifiably true, however!

Chris L

If those at Grace Community follow John Mc. and not Christ they also will wind up in Hell.

Thats the point of that verse. All preaching should pint to Christ and not the Pastor, the church or the method.

Thanks for playing.

Oh, hell, Chris L! (hey that rhymes!) Don’t overanalyze my posting there! I wasn’t making ANY kind of “argument” that PDL or lack thereof is CAUSING any immoral activity. Can’t : ) you : ) see : ) the : ) smiley face : ) the : ) end : ) of : ) the : ) sentence? : ( I imagine that if Rick Freuh wrote that, you would have written it differently. If anything serious to be taken from my posting, people can use PDL or the Bible to justify their sins.

How about many people who live objectionable lives and say the Bible is their favorite book? Now who do you blame?

Wow – that’s some detective work there Tim. (Angela, if you are a Christian, please see the memo)

I can’t figure out if this is a straw-man, an ad homenim or some big combination of logical fallacies all bound into one:

1) Angela Kinsey, the actress, has no known religious affiliation
2) Angela Martin, a fictitious character on ‘The Office’ – played by Angela Kinsey – is a Christian
3) When prompted, Angela Martin says that The Bible and PDL are the two books she would want, if stranded on a deserted island
4) Angela Martin has a promiscuous relationship
5) Therefore, it is Rick Warren’s fault…

PB,

BtW – you’ve misidentified *satire* yet again.

Perhaps you should run over to the nearest UM campus and enroll in ENGL 3070…
