6. Christ cleary says he brough a NEW Law,
Sat Jul 25, 2015, 06:45 PM

..the old laws do not apply.

WHen asked what the new laws were, Jusus said,

"Love everyone...even your enemies."

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.


Ever since I read that, I understood that the Old Testament had been thrown out.
ALL we need to know about Christianity is contained above.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons[a] of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Rod Webber, citizen journalist, thank you for capturing the essence of the modern textbook theocratic authoritarian.

and he scares you because he's black and a kid can you 'stand your ground' and kill him?
Sounds to me like you say yes.

I find Mike Huckabee despicable. He's no better, or Christian, than Christie or Rush Limbaugh.

This clown didn't even mention the innocent people killed in Bush's war. And arguing about silly rules in a silly book that NOBODY needs. Trim that beard for Dog's sake. Fundies are nuts.

Yet this stuff is considered enlightening?

I'm glad Fuckabee looked dumb, but overall this stuff is silly to me.

12. Rod Webber Was Quite Merciful Towards Huckabee, IMO.

When I was watching the video, every time Huckabee's response opened up a huge point of vulnerability, I was expecting Mr. Webber to savage him, and move in for the kill. But he didn't - it seems like his approach was just to let Huckabee's responses percolate in the minds of the viewers, especially those ciritical thinkers among us who don't take what Huckabee said at face value. A very noble and gentlemanly approach to debate, indeed - maybe all those veggie burgers and sprouts he eats do pacify the brain, enhance endorphin production, or something like that...
