Wouldn't this pastor's actions fall into the same "hate speech" category? It is hard for me to understand why so many people condemn an entire group/religion because of the acts of a few radicals. Yet, because of this pastor, the Muslims will now have a chance to think the same thing of all Christians. Tit for tat, I guess. I, for one, am praying for this sad guy to see the light.Barbara Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290844367052978308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455153596790928116.post-46146326314004412942010-08-26T09:48:34.361-05:002010-08-26T09:48:34.361-05:00I am very sad (past angry) about the choices made ...I am very sad (past angry) about the choices made 9 years ago that created and promoted the perceived need to use resources and human lives this way. May the current administration and leaders succeed in promoting the healing process so that wisdom (not fear) prevails; and may all learn from our mistakes!CAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455153596790928116.post-77856863249599557502010-08-25T21:56:36.423-05:002010-08-25T21:56:36.423-05:00We could spend that money on so many other things....We could spend that money on so many other things. Things that would build up, educate, comfort and bring awarness of lifes beauty. Schools could once again afford to have art, drama and science programs, teachers could be paid what they are worth...actually, we all could. If only that money actually went to the soldier and his family... And other costs would go down. Totally removing the grown up men and women who make the hard decision to put on a uniform and follow orders, think of the children who see what no child ever should. Children who live in fear of the next bomb, gunshot, or who run screaming from anyone in cami's. Think of the cost to the environment that chokes on the chemicles released, dust, erosion. Rivers are polluted, air defiled, and animals die. It is true that $1 million doesn't go as far as it used to, but it sure could go farther than it is right now being used on a war that we didn't set out to win, can't loose, and don't want to be in.DeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633185081188057004noreply@blogger.com
