Dem? Fish condemning hypocrisy is NOT anti-Christian IMHO.
Edited on Fri Dec-16-05 07:38 AM by jarnocan
There is a uproar amognst the IMHO hypocritical far-right fanatic concerning this fish magnet sticker some far-right bloggers are saying that the democrats are 'giving out' "anti-Christian stickers" The fish was for sale at a store called Bertha's and the ad was linked to from the Wa. Dem site.
IMHO after analyzing the fish sticker and studying my Bible (ok so it was via dictionary.com) I've concluded; the fish magnet is promoting a very Christian principal and is not there for hypocritical at all,actually it IS very Christian, just very anti-hypocrisy! So was Christ evidently.

Didn't Christ at times drive out and condemn the Pharisee's, and hypocrits? Here are a couple Bible quotes;

Our Lord severely rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for their
hypocrisy (Matt. 6:2, 5, 16). "The hypocrite's hope shall perish" (Job 8:13).
The Hebrew word here rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or
"profane," as it is rendered in Jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crime
dictionary.com

The fish sticker is pretty much a right on visual representation of the above Bibical verses and their true meaning. VERY appropos I think I just talked myself into ordering all the stickers- make nice meaningful stocking stuffers. :gvibes:

1. other cool stuff!!!!
I like all of them, but wish they were still selling the fish one as well, and this last one is priceless.
I do find it VERY offensive when the hateful people, who say various mean self-righteous things about others ACT as if they are talking for ALL Christians. THAT is absolutely WRONG, and very embaressing and offensive to me and I am sure many other people.

2. To paraphrase Viggo,
I don't hate Christians, I hate arrogance, racism, greed, deception, ignoring scientific truth, fundamentalism, and hypocrisy.
