		<description>Thanks for stopping by! Thanks for engaging in the conversation with me. I appreciate any moral support that I could get: people around me in real life didn&#039;t seem disturbed by it... *sigh*</description>

		<description>I have not seen the bumper sticker but this makes me so sad and angry.  How ridiculous!  I too think that the Bible, along with some otehr religious texts, are required reading for understanding our culture and our place in the world.  I have read the whole thing and I actually do refer to passages when they are thrown out to make a point.  I like to know what people are referring to.  Usually I find, like you, that they are unaware of the comlee context.

I liked this post.  Made me think.  Thanks!</description>

		<description>Andrea and Jen, I can&#039;t agree more. Yes indeed the excuse of being ignorant is weak in this information age. But we also know that people are lazy. And in this age of social media, being cloaked in anonymity, people have also learned to speak hurtful things with no accountability. It&#039;s a double-edged sword really. Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate it.</description>

		<description>Agreed. My theory is that because the news talk shows are stating this kind of paranoia openly, folks with that kind of thoughts are now emboldened.</description>

		<description>That Douglas lady, the one who started this tidal wave, is such an ignorant person. It irks me to NO END when people take one single verse from the  Bible and twist it around to make it mean what THEY want it to mean... doing what you said about completely using the verse out of context, with no regard to the entire passage as a whole. Ok, not just ignorant, but lazy as well!! Because Google is right there at thier fingertips, can ingorance about the following verses really be used as an excuse?
