Hi, Y'all!

[Jeff Wrangler]

I guess not everyone believes that -- otherwise the buzz-phrase "the same yesterday, today and forever" wouldn't be so popular.   

Personally, I find the idea of the Being who created the universe being stuck, like a fly in amber, in the culture and view of the universe that was prevalent 6,000 years ago in the Middle East (not to mention just on this one planet) more than a little depressing.  This is, arguably, a God who has more than a little in common with Larry The Cable Guy.

"As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."

Except for global warming. ...

So, being a liberal, am I going to hell if I don't change?

.... to buy those cookies!




Of course, not all of us need threats, or even encouragement.....

OMG !

I swear, I almost run away when I see them selling cookies !

I know it's a good cause and all, but dang, I always get suckered in to buying
more boxes then I need.

Are those rabbit Girl Scout cookies?

Are those rabbit Girl Scout cookies?   

Easter is way too far away for them to be jelly beans. ...

But what if God chooses to make the adoptee even more liberal? Didn't they think of that, I wonder? 

UPDATE:




OneNewsNow displays the "Adopt a Liberal" logo and brings us up to date on this fun project:

"[Liberty Counsel president Mat] Staver says his group is also producing a deck of cards similar to baseball trading cards. "On the one side [of each card] will be a picture of a liberal, and on the other side some of the liberal positions or policies that negatively impact life, liberty, and family," he says. "In this way people can pray for a specific person, then trade cards with their friends."

"Staver points that that particular deck of cards will have 51 cards -- 'which is one card short of a full deck,' he adds.

"Liberty Counsel is also producing bumper stickers that ask the question: 'Have you prayed for a liberal today?' "

OneNutNow has also added "Barry Lynn (Americans United for Separation of Church and State), talk-show host Alan Colmes, and lesbian radio and TV personality Rachel Maddow" to the list of lucky liberal luminaries.

Ah yes, bring back the Inquisition, that would certainly be a benefit to society.

It's not exactly that. The Liberty Counsel has started an "Adopt A Liberal" campaign.  It's first posted on this thread, at http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,32230.msg541359.html#msg541359

Basically, people are being encouraged to 'adopt' and pray for "the liberal(s) of your choice, so each can become a good influence on our Nation's culture. Prayer is powerful! It allows God to change the minds of those for whom we are praying. In fact, we fully expect that many of our adoptees will 'graduate' from this prayer program with vivid testimonies of God having changed their lives and worldviews!"  There's a list of names that includes "The Unknown Liberal".

That logo is interesting: the bisected circle that's blue on the left (ah!) and red on the right, with the hand of a benighted liberal reaching up from the murky blue depths and being grasped by a hand extending from a red-white-blue striped sleeve on the red side. Subtlty isn't the strong suit there.
