re: #750 funky chicken

Um, dude?

I appreciate the rephrase.

We honestly don’t know if she’s “encouraged” by others; I offer is she’s her own person, expressing her own views. I’ve commonly read the sentiment about a encouragement on the pro-life side, but what I’ve seen from my friends active in that community, is they do so despite greater social pressure not to do so. It’s good to actually personally know the group you wish to lambast before lambasting them. If you’d rather not for then the circle of enmity has merely grown a notch.

My bigger point is that the inclusion of this image suggests, and your post seems consistent with this, is where to draw the line on what is “crazy.” “Blood screaming up from the ground” (or whatever the phrase was) is a paraphrase from the Bible. I’m sure there’s those here that feel the entire book is crazy; I don’t. If it is mainstream for LGF to consign Christendom to the crazy bin, it is within Charles’ right to continue such an aspect but it does diminish his spotlight on fringe antics.

If the impulse is to reign in extremist rhetoric (one with which I’d love to see happen), where and how to do so is a big sticky thorn. That shouldn’t put the brakes on the process, but it should sober our pride in our efforts. We shouldn’t don the plastic halo, and point to the other nasty people, when we engage in it ourself.
