BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Born-again rebel Don Miller reveals 'best sermon I ever heard' - CNN.com

Born-again rebel Don Miller reveals 'best sermon I ever heard' - CNN.com: "Defining Miller as a conservative or progressive Christian is difficult. He's a bit of both.  Miller once ended an interview with a journalist by sharing the Gospel. And he once wrote that in all of his readings, 'I don't find anyone more noble than Jesus.'
But he also attended a Unitarian church where 'they freely and openly accepted everybody the church didn't seem to accept,' he wrote in 'Blue Like Jazz.'
Miller, in fact, has become something of an evangelical rebel.

Critics have dismissed him for being too vague on issues like gay marriage and abortion. Devotion to Jesus, not dogma, is what defines a Christian, Miller wrote in 'Blue Like Jazz.' 'The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.'"

JESUS WAS  A LIBERAL

Will agree, Jesus is a hard act to beat.  But, that doesn't mean there haven't been many who were just as noble.  Believe one can be just as noble without being a christian. 

If he really wants to tie christian spirituality to Jesus, then he should be reminded Jesus died a young man living his life as he preached. 

Don't think you will find many willing to love him that much.
