it is easier for a pig to pass through the eye of a needle, than for rick warren to enter heaven.

yeah, i know- the bible says camel, but did you see that dateline interview?

1. I did not see the Dateline interview, but

I like your use of pig instead of camel. :evilgrin:

2. Isn't it "easier for a pig to enter heaven than rick to pass through the eye of a needle?"

or a doorframe? or a VW Bug?

He needs to go to his cell & whip himself for the sin of gluttony.

[madmadmad]

3. the image of that pig stuck in a vw bug made me laugh! thanks for that- i'm pretty riled up tonight!

4. What if the pig has lipstick? nt

5. The good thing is that none of us, neither Republican, Democrat, or fundy preacher

gets to decide who may enter heaven, if there is a heaven.

6. Bwahahahahahaha........

Good point :rofl:

[Joe Bacon]

7. Rick has the cash to buy a bigger needle!

Rick's already bought and paid for his way into heaven. He's got a penthouse suite on Jerry Falwell Blvd!

8. I dislike when the right tells us who will go to heaven.

I wish we wouldn't do it either. All this condemnation sure does feel familiar though. Ugh.

[madmadmad]

9. it's a joke, not a judgement. i don't believe in heaven or the book of fairy tales called the bible

but i will condemn the man for espousing hatred while on this earth. not ok.

[dkf]

11. Well aren't we espousing hatred of Rick Warren on this board?

Sure feels like it.

[lunatica]

12. Passing judgement on judgement much?

Simple criticism, which is actually based on outrageous behavior full of hate itself is not espousing hatred.

[madmadmad]

13. YES, I HATE HIM. HE IS TRYING TO DEHUMANIZE ME. I HATE HATE HATE HIM.

AND IF HE WERE DOING IT TO YOU, YOU MIGHT HATE HIM TOO.

10. Some scholars have pointed out that the words for camel and rope

in early versions of the New Testament differ from each other by a single letter, like cat and cut. They think that it may be a copying error. Makes sense to me--an analogy of trying to put a rope through a needle is much more understandable.
