and now for something totally inane

just to give balance to the seriousness of my last post...

watch THIS and be sad for the Christian education of this congregation

and, because the internet is so tempting...

think about the mindset of someone who would say this:
The Bible punishes crimes (whether committed against children or adults) by fines, beatings, and death penalty. If the parent has done anything wrong, those should apply. Imprisonment or taking children away from their parents is not mentioned anywhere. In fact, king Solomon gave a baby back to his prostitute mother because she was the mother and thereby best suited for raising that particular child. A parent who molests their child should receive the death penalty, which will do more to help the child heal than being in the care of a (probably more abusive) foster family.

yeah, i just love that verse where Jesus says "yeah, let's all throw stones at once!".... i think that's how it goes...

this really makes me want to get to "A Year of Living Biblically," a book my brother gave me. I think it'll give me insight into how people get to the place where they would believe and even WRITE things like the italicized...
