Too good to pass up...

Sometimes I think I must not have anything better to do, and then I remind myself that sometimes I don’t.

This started with an email from someone I used to be fairly friendly with, and would still be, but she seems to be pretty unavailable. She has a daughter the same age as Glee and a son a year younger than Thomas. She is born again, and that was okay by me, but she included me on this list of people to whom they passed a lot of the misinformation about President-Elect Obama (man, that feels GOOD to say!).

Some people just aren’t all they claim to be are they? I wonder if this is why I have such an aversion to churches (other than thinking they are pretty, admiring the architecture, and then heading to their graveyards!).

So, I let one go, and then I got this one... read from the bottom up from here on... of course the names have been changed to protect the guilty (again).

No, you didn’t really. Because I did not say what I believe in, other than the FACT that I said I am not a Christian, and the FACT that I don’t believe John McCain would be the right person to lead our country. The rest of it was ASSUMPTION on your part. You don’t know who I voted for, or why, because YOU DON’T KNOW ME. I may be farther right than you, I just don’t believe in spreading lies about someone, and that is what this email has been doing.

Let he without sin, well, I am assuming (and I shouldn’t because I don’t know you and I don’t know how well you know your own book) you know the rest.

That being said, I hope someday to actually meet you so you can see that my horns don’t show in public and that I am not carrying around a fetus in a jar and proclaiming everyone should have one. Not everyone is as you think they are.

Hey, I didn't cast judgment on you, all I mentioned was what YOU said about yourself. The only assumption I made is that you aren't a liar about yourself.

Look, I just thought it was pretty funny that you decided to tell a bunch of people you don't know about your beliefs, which is exactly what you were complaining about. All you needed to say was "please take me off this distribution list". However, with that said, I truly am sorry for making fun of you. Right after I sent it I regretted it.

Some Christian you are… you don’t even know me. You might want to read your good book before you cast judgment. I have my stones collected but I don’t use them except for self defense.

Please remove me from this distribution list if you do not remove Jill from this list, as I am diametrically opposed to being on a distribution list with anyone who thinks partial-birth abortions is a "right" and who is so ill-informed as to think that Obamanomics is the better choice for America.
Thank you.

Please remove me from this list before you forward it anymore. I am not Christian, I do not believe McCain is the best choice for president and I am diametrically opposed to the information being spread in these emails.
Thank you.

Dear Crosstrainers and Friends,

Please forward the following information to our fellow brothers and sisters
in Christ who may not know of Barrack Obama's position on abortion.

As Christians, our FIRST priority is to vote the Bible, which means that THE
most important issue in choosing the right candidate is the one who is PRO-LIFE, NOT Pro-Choice. Clearly, if you watched both candidates during Rick Warrren's interviews at Saddleback Church, you would know who that is, not to mention their records.

While in the Illinois Senate, Obama repeatedly blocked a bill that would protect the lives of "born-alive infants" who survive abortions. Now, he is trying to run and
hide from his radical record.

Barack Obama is THE MOST radical pro-abortion presidential candidate in history. Not only does he oppose protecting babies who survive a failed abortion, he has pledged to sign the Freedom of Choice Act as his first item of business if elected president. Obama opposes the ban on partial-birth abortion and said the issue of when life begins was too difficult for him to answer - "above my pay grade." This was the statement he made at Saddleback Church.

John McCain's answer, however, was direct and without reservation - "at
conception"!

And we won't even get into the harm Obama would cause our country in his socialistic tax policy for "spreading the wealth", pulling our troops out of Irag prematurely, and weakening our strength in the world with his naive and reckless plans to meet with other socialistic/communist leaders of countries that hate America.

May God's hand be seen in the election of John McCain and Sarah Palin and may He be glorified for it!

God Bless our country and our voting efforts.

Homer and Marge
