Good Witness Or Public Nuisance?
Click for more at the San Francisco Chronicle
A Los Angeles area woman has erected an almost twenty-five foot tall cross in her front yard and painted it blood red where Jesus’ hands a feet would be. Also in her yard are a crown of thorns and a sign which reads, “Jesus I believe in you.”
Neighbors have complained.
In the story at the link above, the woman is quoted as saying, “I don’t understand what my neighbors are so upset about. This cross isn’t hurting anyone.”
“But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. Yet do it with courtesy and respect . . .” (1 Peter 3:15-16)
Comment on "Good Witness Or Public Nuisance?"

1. The evidence lostngry suggests that it is Israel and not Iran that is meshugeneh.2. if [Iran] is building weapons of mass destruction (WMD), it is in self-defense. This if is a very important thing that the propagandists want us all to forget about. There is still no evidence that Iran actually does have a nuclear weapons program. And if it has decided it needs one, who can blame it given the incessant heavy and very serious threats coming from the United States, and Israel, two of the most aggressive countries on Earth, both of which have major nuclear arsenals, and one of which has actually used nuclear weapons against civilian populations?3. The characterization of Hezballah and Syria as clients of Iran suggests something that is quite contrary to reality. Being an ally, and being a client are two very different things, and neither Syria nor Hezballah can correctly be called a client of Iran. This false characterization is particularly frightening in the case of Syria, since it serves to establish a pretext for making that country the next target in line for attack. Syria has its own very justified grievances against Israel, which are easily resolved if Israel only valued peace more than it does adding others’ territory to its own.
