And that's just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of the twisted understanding some of you folks have of what I said. Sheeesh.

So do you own a gun or not?

Read the verse very closely.

Sometimes, it is IMPOSSIBLE, e.g. when Islamo fascists state that I shall bow down and convert to Islam or die.

It is my opinion, that it is IMPOSSIBLE to ever change the hearts and minds of Islamo fascists, who seek to slaughter me, my family, as though they were the meat birds that I cut heads off of two weeks ago.

AAAAAAAAAAH, thanks for playing, there are some nice parting gifts for you on the way out.

I profess to be a "Christian", saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, as payment in full for ALL of my sins. I do not profess to be perfect, although I try real hard.

So, If you are also a Christian, it is going to be nice spending eternity with you. heehe. We one in the bond of LOVE, we are one in the bond of love, we have joined our spirits with the spirit of God, we are one in the bond of love.

I leave you with this, If you claim to have the light in you, bo do not love your brother, then you have made him out to be a liar and the truth is not in you.

Perhaps, we should all step back a moment, and think a little before we start spewing so much venom into the seemingly innoucuous void that is the internet? :shrug:

Clear skies here, spittlespark.

And the quote I provided wasn't about your analysis, it was about your recollection of your stance re: giving stuff to people who look like they need it. You said my understanding clouded my analysis of your stances, and all I had to do was quote you to establish my clarity.
