I respond harshly sometimes, because what I hear tells me that's what's needed - sometimes the "villain" causing the pain is <i>yourself</i>.<br /><br />However, LG, as usual, is trying to cloudy things up a bit by pointing out the "sad life" of Jimi Hendrix.

I am saddened over what passes for Christian a lot of times...christianity itself bears much of the blame here; often not being a religion that has much to do with the teaching of Jesus. but that is changing in some quarters. <br /><br />What I find interesting is that non christian sometimes seem to "get it". danieljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901342566971331937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-5232304382676701892011-10-18T21:34:37.464-07:002011-10-18T21:34:37.464-07:00I find most right-wing "christians" have...I find most right-wing "christians" have really sad lives.

The statement about power and love is very valid, and I thought Rev. Susan wrote a very good piece.<br /><br />And IMHO, the Jesus saying concerns the radical nature of the Kingdon of God and how that will cause big upsets with spme of the religious status quo.....works for the secular status quo as well<br /><danieljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901342566971331937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-7050586059790313392011-10-17T11:57:53.839-07:002011-10-17T11:57:53.839-07:00Hendrix was a good guitar player, but had a sad li...Hendrix was a good guitar player, but had a sad life. He chose the army rather than prison for stealing cars, (a year later he said he feigned homosexuality to get a discharge) he was a drug user, a violent brute toward his numerous girlfriends, and soundly rejected the teachings of Jesus Christ. Hendrix also said, 'I don't have nothin to regret at all in my past', 'let me live LGMarshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902418111182358582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21609676.post-7585533941137579862011-10-17T11:07:00.027-07:002011-10-17T11:07:00.027-07:00Beautifully written!
