Truth is not always a welcomed thing when one becomes sooo attached to their own ideas and perceptions... Jesus was known for challenging the people/society of his day... and HE continues to challenge the society today...

Your comments are very legitimate and your expository language is acceptable in terms of the clarity of your message and the logical interrogations posed for the reader to work out independently. I appreciate your postings and hope you keep up the good work, for the illumination of those who are still awaiting legitimate responses by the hierarchy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-70985205398188402972008-11-08T08:02:00.000-07:002008-11-08T08:02:00.000-07:00Colleen I know, my comment was a polite way of exp...Colleen I know, my comment was a polite way of expressing how I felt about his comment and a somewhat cryptic way of expressing where his head was located.<BR/><BR/>As always, you are so dead on with your analyis.COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-10864451840514493362008-11-08T06:29:00.000-07:002008-11-08T06:29:00.000-07:00The nice thing about America is we have the right ...The nice thing about America is we have the right to speak about what ever Jesus works for us.<BR/><BR/>The Old Testament Jesus of Sarah Palin does not work for me, and under President Bush it didn't work for America or Iraq or the Sudan or Somalia or the Congo or etc etc etc.<BR/><BR/>Technically, I'm not disregarding half of Christians, I'm disregarding about 15% of Catholics and 1/3 of our bishops.<BR/><BR/>By the way, no body owns Jesus, we only own our opinions. Sarah Palin and you have your opinion and I have mine.<BR/><BR/>Carl, anonymous isn't talking about the photograph he/she is talking about the article. I chose the cartoonish article because it analyzed the situation in language Palin supporters and other morons could understand.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment dad. Glad you like the blog. I suspect the heard vs herded point wasn't heard by a certain commenter.<BR/><BR/>Butterfly, Old Testament Jesus followers would feel quite moral burning a cross of Obama posters on someone's lawn. It's the old eye for eye tooth for a tooth fear/anger dynamic. <BR/><BR/>Apparently real Christians don't want a Jesus of love which is why they are inspired by the Holy Spirit of righteous anger, to take over the world for the Jesus of love, who then is His own version of impotence can safely take over the cleansed world. This is assumes I guess, that His self appointed Apostles will actually let Him.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-77670000701838485432008-11-07T22:41:00.000-07:002008-11-07T22:41:00.000-07:00A lot of venom from anonymous. A slithering snake ...A lot of venom from anonymous. A slithering snake of a tongue crawling out of the woodwork post-election to vent anger and hatred. The correct spelling is Messiah, so the play on words with Obama's name doesn't REALLY work. Nice try.<BR/><BR/>Colleen, I share your view about Obama. One would have to be a moron to not see the positive example Obama showed throughout the campaign and your blog does an excellent job of highlighting these very special and beautiful qualities. People who were too busy hating him couldn't see the truth if it walked on them. Many did not see the love of Jesus either and they crucified Him. They called Him lots of names too as I recall from reading the scriptures. <BR/><BR/>I heard that some person or persons made a cross out of Obama signs and burned it on an Obama supporter's lawn after the election. This is what lies and hate speech from Palin breeds and fuels. They say they love God and Jesus. It's all talk, because who would know of love from all the hateful venom spewed by Palin and the so-called Christian right-wing on Obama and Biden and all Democrats. <BR/><BR/>I pray they find the real Jesus. The Jesus of love.<BR/><BR/>Look in the mirror anonymous and judge not others that you do not know. God is bigger than you think, and more loving. Get rid of the venom and replace it with love for your neighbor. We are all your neighbor, like it or not. We like to point out the truth here. If you have trouble with the truth, you haven't found the REAL Jesus of love. <BR/><BR/>Peace! As always Colleen, I am always inspired by your writing, your insight and ability to see the truth and communicate it.butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684946870144030594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-1097562979089907642008-11-07T19:54:00.000-07:002008-11-07T19:54:00.000-07:00Pax vobiscum, anonymous.

So REAL you have to be anonymous.<BR/><BR/>Colleen, I found your blog via Bilgrimage and have been enjoying it for a while, though I have never commented. Your writing is spirited, moving, and witty. And, as a liberal Catholic and proud of it, I find it wonderfully enlightening. I particularly like the phrase "deserve to be heard, rather than herded.<BR/><BR/>May the Peace be with you,<BR/>MikeDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581999589305837990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383701632927065467.post-64641799753869514262008-11-07T17:25:00.000-07:002008-11-07T17:25:00.000-07:00I dont know anonymous, I think its kind of cool se...I dont know anonymous, I think its kind of cool seeing a picture of Jesus that looks like me.
