Comments on: I weep for our culture http://lakeneuron.com/2005/11/10/i-weep-for-our-culture/ $200 per House; $200 plus four houses for Hotel Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:26:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Phisch http://lakeneuron.com/2005/11/10/i-weep-for-our-culture/comment-page-1/#comment-626 Phisch Tue, 15 Nov 2005 20:38:57 +0000 http://lakeneuron.com/2005/11/i-weep-for-our-culture/#comment-626 I can't really say much about Pat Robertson because I know, for me, it would be like calling the kettle black or even pointing to his splinter when I have a log in my own eye (it hurts!). That being said, someone in his position ought to know that we should all speak the truth in love and not vindictive frustration. I'm reminded of Jonah, who, after spending time in a large fish's digestive system, begrudgingly gave in and spoke of God's wrath to the Ninevites, then took off to a high place so he could watch his enemies get pulverized (or whatever it was he was picturing God's wrath would be like). Poor Jonah didn't quite get the type of show he wanted but was instead treated to a show of grace and forgiveness--and he still grumbled about that!

I see that view, which I happen to subscribe to, as less "namby-pamby" than an unquestioning, "feel good" universalism.
