Maybe so. Her dim-witted theology is consistent with her dim-witted politics.

You claim to know what he "meant". You claim he wasn't referring to white supremacists. You don't know that. You can't cherry-pick one phrase from one video and ignore everything else he says.

David hated evil people.
He was an adulterer and a murderer, hardly a role model.
Faith writes:
nothing to do with casting stones.
Of course it is. The obvious implication is that only those who are without sin are permitted to be self-righteous.

Fine people who respect history and some who even respect people who held bad ideas they were willing to fight for.
A distant relative of mine, by marriage, was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. He was a General in command of a division until he was fired for refusing to put the Hitler Youth in the front line.
He may have been a "fine person" in some ways but he was on the wrong side fighting for an evil cause. It would be wrong to characterize him as a "fine person" in general.

Re: The fake news about Charlottesville answered again
Faith writes:
I'm considering at the moment how self-righteous all this current eagerness to condemn others is, for acts that even you would commit under the right circumstances.
It isn't "self-righteousness". It's an improved sense of decency. It's a shame that professing Christians like yourself and Trump are at the forefront of dragging "fallen" humans even lower.
Faith writes:
If you don't see yourself as capable of that you are deceived.
I am definitely capable. During the Vietnam War, I was in a discussion with some other Canadians, all of whom were against the war and all of whom were sure they would never participate in such a thing. When it was time for my opinion, I said, "If the government put a gun in my hands and told me to go halfway around the world and kill little brown people, the alternative being to go to jail or flee the country, I'd have no problem killing little brown people.
But we have the benefit of hindsight and now we know that the Vietnam War was wrong, that the Nazis were wrong and that the Confederacy was wrong.
Faith writes:
A little humility toward history, a little grace toward other sinners, seems to be lacking in so much of today's self-righteous rhetoric.
You're a fine one to talk, now that you've managed to pry the brick off your caps-lock key. Yesterday you were praising hatred and spitting on the Bible.

The disciples fed the widows who were believers, they sent money to help other churches that were struggling in a famine. They did not do that for unbelievers.
Yes they did. They fed the five thousand and the seven thousand. And the parable of the good Samaritan shows that we should emulate the Samaritan by doing good to our enemies as well as our friends.

Nothing, Nobody and Nuts went for a walk in the woods. Nothing fell into a hole; he looked up and saw Nobody. Nobody looked into the hole and saw Nothing; he told Nuts to go and find a rope.
Nuts ran through the woods until he encountered a Stranger. "Nothing fell into a hole," he said, "Nobody told me to find a rope."
The stranger said, "Are you nuts?"
"Yes."

Faith writes:
Feeding the thousands was a miracle Jesus did twice. He did miracles to validate His identity and draw people to Him.
He fed the people because they were hungry.
quote:
Mark 8:1-3 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
There's nothing in the context that suggests He did it to show off His magical powers.
Faith writes:
Feeding the widows was an everyday ministry of the Church and not a miracle, purely an act of loving one another.
And the only difference was that the Church didn't do it by miracles. The target audience was the same - everybody. ("All nations.")

Theology takes the entire book into account and you think a single quote should suffice.
But you ignore everything in the book that counters your own personal prejudices. And when you do (rarely) quote something to support your view, you're the one who ignores the context.

Yes, if you read only books written in English, you could draw the conclusion that all books are written in English.
