In the name of fairness, the fundies view the lefties as follows: lost. Heretical . Unenlightened. Lost. Self serving. Of no match for the righties. Booring. Sinful and loving it. Uninvolved in the work of ministry. Did I say lost. Honoring men rather than God. Without the Spirit. Without the spirit. Unbelievers. Bound by the doctrine of men. Liars.
I could go back into the archives and add to this list -- but we get the message.
Neither list applies to all in either group. Few on this forum are above criticism. All have claimed the Name. And the Dance goes on.

Life on the religious right is all about eliminating the competition. We are not family members with differing ideas -- rather we are competitors to be shunned and even abandoned. The RR speaks of truth but without love -- even making fun of the concept or defining it (love) into non-existence.
Their lives (the fundies ) are full of busy work -- "Com'on, HURRY. We must pray this tornado into Quaker country. Let them deal with the death and ravage." Or we fill our plate up with the busy work of posted review: "Nah, darl'in - no time for fun and games tonight. I have to review TT . God has called me to be a protector of the truth and has ordained tactics that, if Hitler had been a Bishop, he would have used. If I persist, they will leave -- to hell with winning them over. See you in the morning, my dove p
umkin." Or we think to make claims that can never be tested (as in test the spirits ) and are not that important anyway. "And if the 'visitors' should ever use any of our tactics , well, well, SHAME on them!! We are the enlightened. We say it all right. We think it all right. We only need God when we fail. God has ordained harshness, but only if we use it!!!!!!"
They are busy "saving" people." Discipling is not their bag. It is all about the notches on the gun handle. All the while the world is driven further away -- but they are lost anyway so who really cares. Yes, God is love but that has more to do with judgment than anything else. Why, I would rather send one of my children straight to hell and thus save myself than ignore one dot or slash of the Law.
The difference between the sacrifice of bulls and goats and the sacrifice of Christ? Well, we all know the answer to that -- it is the difference between the number of feet on the hoof. Thats about it.
Anyway -- I got to quit. That battries on my bullhorn are gettin weak.
with Love

the Bishop and the 'myth man' ? Ya gots the Amen corner patting one another on the back while the sub text includes mutual monologues (not a dialogue) between Mormons and those who seek to 'gospelize' them.The Mormons themselves attempt to walk some sort of line between identifying themselves as the one true 'recovered' church and calling themselves 'christians'. Not gonna do it, in any orthodox sense, while preaching the Jesus they preach.
Just look at who you 'frustrated' off TT: Slade, Bill, Jonathan, Caroline and Debbie. Unlike myself, they could both write and, had something to say worth engaging.
Wake up O thou that sleepest! Do not walk off into the sunset of oblivion needlessly.
