I suppose they’re demanding fair distribution of Truth. Why should one church have it all?
But seriously, folks; does this foolish pseudo-activism know no bounds?
This gave me a chuckle. Hope it does the same for you.

Honestly, they should have just let them protest, and then took them out food and such. Perfect opportunity to preach to sinners.

Actually, no, as one of the protestors had climbed the Christmas tree, what happened if he fell and got hurt? They did right by removing them.

Then it would have been his own fault. That’s like saying, what would happen if someone was playing with a gun and accidentally shot himself in the leg? Well, he shot himself in the leg. Unfortunate, yes, but no one’s fault but his own. I’m not saying we shouldn’t look after one another, but if something bad happens, we needn’t think, what if?

It shows just how sophmoric many in this movement are, idle hands and all.

Just curious; anyone know why my thread title was changed? I quite liked it as it was. Was it inappropriate?

They better be careful.

Haven’t they seen Godfather III.



Joke, Joke, Joke

It is better than closing the thread, in accord with the rules. The title of the thread must match the title in the news article. Consider it a mercy.

Ah, ok. I was unaware. Thanksfor the heads up!

Well St. Terese said that everything was Grace, so I guess that means the moderation here, too. Anyway, I thanks for the thread and the news article. It was worth a chuckle.

Awwww, how cute! Kids wanting to be like grown ups, huh?

In all seriousness though, what were they expecting to happen?

It’s hard to say. The article doesn’t really say why they were there, probably because they didn’t even know themselves. Protesting is just hip again.
Though for humor’s sake, I prefer to think it was what I said in the OP.

A violation of Matthew 7:6.
