I'd just like to say that that is an excellent quote from

scripture that you

have as your tag line. Do you think we can expect all the

fundies to drink some

"deadly thing" as proof of their faith and devotion?

The quote does justify reducing benefits, though. No need for
a medical staff or field hospitals. Just have the chaplains
go around laying hands on the sick. Surely that includes
people who've been invaded by bullets or shrapnel. And
there'd be no need of VA Hospitals, as all the war related
injuries would have been healed and any new disease contracted
by a vet could be dealt with by sending the elders of the
church and some olive oil (James 5.14-15).

I should add, James does not specify what kind of oil, but
when I was growing up, every pulpit in a "real Christian"
church had its little bottle of olive oil, and a dot of it
would be placed on the forehead of anyone who requested prayer
for a health issue. Preachers usually carried it with them
when they visited the sick, too. I believe that when I was in
high school and working in a grocery store I still believed
the olive oil we stocked was used for prayer and the fact that
it moved so slowly had to do with the fact that you only put a
small amount on your finger to anoint someone.

I think that was the whole Bush administration thing with the arsenic
in the water.

I wonder when he'll get around to meeting with a few of the
American families who've lost loved ones in Iraq.

That's scheduled on his Official Johnny Mathis Calendar.

I hear he's going to be visiting an AODA center in the Columbus
area. Maybe he can catch Jill during a lucid moment and say hi to
her.

Quoting from yer own post in the thread "Call Transcript":

"*****. How many times do you expect to print this nonsense and be
taken seriously."

You really are starved for attention.

As I just told Clave, the speed at which you and your ilk respond to
almost every "Colonel" post directed at you answers any questions you
may have about my "popularity". As to the rest of your question,
there is one big point you're missing: Smith's post is *****;
Jill's lurid past is public record and your reputation as an Usenet
"storyteller" are legendary.
