Re: November 2008 Screwballs
Shame on you. You should ride it around the store like a horsie.
Just for that, I ought to put you in charge while I'm away in Los Angeles....would serve you right.
But yeah folks...I may not have Net access easily, and I have a "redeye" flight on the way back, so I'll be back late Monday probably....

Distinguishing Truth & Error
Apologetics for Orthodoxy
Ochlophobic Musings 
"I would join countless numbers of evangelical Protestants and say I have come to know Christ with fulfilling and life-changing effects and daily witness His grace and leadership in my life. But just because God in His grace and mercy has met us where we are and adapted Himself to our unique cultural and religious circumstances in no way means He has abandoned His original plan. God does not contradict Himself. Truth is intolerant, and truth is found in the Church’s living and Holy Tradition. It is my growing conviction that only a strong living Tradition can protect us from the corrosive and destructive forces of modern life, the insidious and deceptive effects of modern pluralism, and the disheartening and confusing proliferation of religious opinions...What are we to do with this "cloud of witnesses," this Holy Tradition through which they live and speak with such clarity and certitude? Well, for me there seems to be only one logical response. I must turn to the Church and its sacred Tradition; I must listen humbly and be instructed. I cannot let God’s marvelous blessings of the past blind me to what I have missed or deter me from that to which He would lead me still. I must return home to Orthodoxy." Rev. Dorraine S. Snogren, The Road That Leads Home

Regarding the competition for earning a Screwball award, I think Constantine Invented Christianity is certainly a winner.

Re: November 2008 Screwballs
Hi folks....from Agoura Hills, CA in the Hampton Inn lobby...got this email from Bigots, Inc.:
Please don't link Christians with the inquisition. A Christian who
follows the commandments would never have followed the inquisition
(NEVER). And it was also those Christians who would not follow the
teachings of the catholic church (which are twisted) that were also
burnt at the stake and tortured by the catholic church. The catholic
church is about power on this earth and control of every nation...none
of this is important to a Christian who follows the teaching of the
bible because the bible (from the beginning to the end) talks of a new
kingdom where evil cannot enter. Jesus said love every man and woman as
yourself, even your enemies. We don't, or shouldn't, judge. Judgement is
under GOD only not us.
Yes I will agree that religion as caused suffering but only by those who
use it for their own ends. Religion as become a tool for politicians and
the power hungry of this world. But the bible is not interested in this.
It only talks of the new kingdom to come and it is not interested in the
politics of this world. The catholic church is way out in its own little
world and it seeks to control every nation under one church...this is
what you have to look out for...when a symbol of Rome moves to Jerusalem
and is placed within the sacred temple of the Jewish nation then we have
to be ready!

Screwball to JP, because I just think he needs one.
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
