I found this letter hilarious. I don't care that Glenn starts it out with the hooey saluation or that The Daily World prints it. That's fine. Each to his/her own.

But, Glenn says in the same letter: "I’ll show you in the word of God" and "Truth is stranger than fiction!"

Glenn can believe whatever Glenn wants, but using the bible as proof to anyone other than others so inclined to subscribe to that sillyness is just more sillyness. And, even then, they can't agree.

"I know the bible's true because the bible says so!"


Greetings in the Saviour’s name, Jesus.

I’m going to wait until after Christmas, to make noise concerning Washington state’s casinos and The Daily World’s part, in their presence in Grays Harbor and their detrimental influence; legal, for now!

The wild, wild west, complete with saloons full of gamblers and prostitutes. How many of those do you think escaped damnation and perdition? I’ll show you in the word of God, where greed is condemned along with those who live the lifestyle inherent with those infested by those demons of greed and lust.

Truth is stranger than fiction!

So...you're saying that practicing greed and having sex with prostitutes is a perfectly fine lifestyle that deserves no condemnation?

No, I don't think that's what he's saying at all.

Then if a lifestyle of greed and sex with prostitutes is worthy of condemnation, and the Bible agrees, what's the big whoop? Does it make it less true because the Bible says it's worthy of condemnation?

Hey, whatever Republican legislators wanna do in their private lives is OK by me

And with me.

I found the letter quite humorous.

But, sense you're asking, casinos (the subject of the letter) are not always about greed. I've gone to the QBR dozens of times. I think I put money in the slot machine once. There are lots of reasons to go there (but, as of late, the food isn't necessarily one of them, btw).

Now, I have only been to Little Creek once... for the sole purpose of giving them $80 of my dollars while Lil Stash taught me how to play Craps. It was quite fun and worth every penny.

Secondly, I happen to support the legalization of prostitution. It matters not to me with whom Republican Congressmen, or Christian televangelists, or former New York Governors, choose to dally.

There are many, many legal as well as illegal activities in which human can engage that I would not consider "a fine lifestyle". But, I wouldn't think they all deserve condemnation either.

You seem to be "saying that practicing greed and having sex with prostitutes is a perfectly fine lifestyle that deserves no condemnation?"

WTF?

Of course as a Christian I personally believe that lifestyle is wrong/sinful and God is righteous and just to condemn it...so I don't practice it.

However, I am not interested in monitoring any legislators' private life...I'll leave that up to the news media and political operatives. If a legislator is acting out their lust with legal prostitution, or exercising their greed in legal ways, then its their business. I believe they will suffer spiritual consequences and answer for it sooner or later.

If their acting out is through illegal means, then that's a different story...and they need to suffer earthly consequences and answer for it sooner rather than later.

Re: I’ll show you in the word of God, where greed is condemned along with those who live the lifestyle inherent with those infested by those demons of greed and lust.

I can show in the word of God where Jesus showed grace and eternal mercy to those same kind of people. I can also show where it says that the people who don't participate in those activities are no better or worse than those who do. It's a bummer, really. It totally strips "self-righteous" of the righteous bit and leaves only self. Serious buzz kill.

As a believer, I do accept that there are eternal consequences to our actions. However, I believe that is up to the final judge. Too many Christians read about condemnation of one type or another and just can't wait to get the process started on God's behalf.

Some people just love an easy target. Perhaps it has something to do with the beam in their line of vision.
