| Toned-down Dean finds friendly audience at PUSH |

Toned-down Dean finds friendly audience at PUSH: "To counter this, Sunday afternoon, Dean talked about the Bible, Jesus, respecting people who disagree with you and the persuasive power of deep convictions.
It came out right.
'Let me remind those Republicans,'' he said, that the Bible mentions helping the poor '3,000 times. I have not yet seen gay marriage mentioned in the Bible. That is a Republican issue.''"
If Dean read his Bible he would find that:
1. There is no where in the Bible it advocates people using government to force others to help the poor. It only talks about helping them. Wonder how many people Dean helps?
2. The Bible does mention marriage. All cases were between men and women--back to Adam. Gay marriage is not dealt with, unless someone reads something into Romans 1:
"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
Of course, what this verse means I have no idea.
Dean needs to stick to what he knows best, and as has been demonstrated, theology isn't one of them. |

Need I remind you that Adam and Eve are in the old testament and if we still lived by old testament laws christians would all have beards, eat Kosher and could stone their children when they talked back.
Oh ya, and that Jonathan and David were lovers. Read 1st and 2nd Samuel or go here:

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
