YES, dammit, if it serves our purposes.

Because it's all about you, innit?

Strel, I am not going to spend a bunch of time looking but, have you had some rather unflattering things to say about Christians, Jesus or God?

I think you know where I am going with this so I eagerly await your reply.

I despise fundamentalists of any stripe. This is not exactly a secret.

This is about the personal ethics of this opportunistic piece of human waste that dares to speak for God.

I take that as a yes and if your actions caused some loose cannon Christians to murder a couple dozen people, would it be your fault.

No, only if I knew that it was imminently possible that someone would be killed.

There is a logical proximity here that the pastor cannot avoid. He knew, FOR SURE, what the results of his actions would be.

I think they are the results he wanted, so he could point yet more flabby fingers at the Muslim world and claim vindication.

As right as he may be about that, he's still a piece of ****.

I learned from my cousin Robert while we were growing up, watching the Circus unloading the animals.....you don't poke at a lion with a stick even though the lion was caged. (Sorry cuz, but the world needs to know you pissed yourself - AKA actions have consequences).

I learned today from a youtube video......don't hold a shark in your hands thinking it was safe - even though it's a baby.

For those who will undoubtedly think I just compared muslims (islamic jihadists) to wild animals.....well yeah, so what? My apologies to animals everywhere.

This stupid preacher guy has no idea of the consequences other people are experiencing related to his actions. Sure it's his right to do it. But the innocent people also had their right to life.

Probably because Christians are peaceful unlike Muslims or should I say extremist Muslims. Let's say some extremist Christians would go on a rampage and you knew about it but took advantage of your rights anyway?

Most likely but, not FOR SURE.

So, you are a mind reader now?

Isn't it nice to be able to take advantage of your freedom of speech rights?

Not in this instance, it isn't. But we have to take the good with the bad.

Let's not forget that this poltroon had a range of choices on how to express his displeasure with Islam, and of all those choices, he chose the one that he knew would get innocent people killed.

If something were to happen to Jones I would totally agree with this analogy but, how about poking a lion here and a lion on the other side of the world attacks and kills someone else?

How about if you gave someone a button, and told them that if they press it, it would send out a radio signal across the world that would result in some innocent person's head to come off.

What kind of person would push the button, no matter what the means of decapitation happened to be?
