Show ALL DUNN by Roy Dunn for if your neighbor don't share your views of Diety, may be the Chrstian thing to do is shoot him between the eyes (this is more human than some other ways of making him see the light). It might be that anyone with a thimble full of brains knows this is the Christian way, and those who are dedicated enough to put this into practice will receive re-ceive their reward in the hereafter here-after and the Lord will ble3S them. There are many roads that lead to the Pearly Gates, and this may be one. Some folks really believe that, and the proof is in the news. All church-goers are not men and all good men are not church goers but without with-out our churches, our America would be lost, the same as other countries who have done away with the churches down through history. I am remined of a man who lives in Provo, by the name of Welby Turpln. I doubt that Mr. Welby and his wife are churchgoers, church-goers, although I am not sure. About five years ago I was involved in-volved in a business deal with these two and I had made a five hundred dollar error when I figured the final bill. There was absolutely no legal way I could have collected this money and the contract was signed, sealed and delivered. Of course I hoped they would pay it when I called their attention to the error, but I never really believed they would. When I mentioned it with much embar-rasment, embar-rasment, they paid it promptly, and seemed almost anxious to do so. Now there's what I call REAL Christians. SEE YA'ALL LATER HOWDY FOLKS Ireland is on the brink of a civil war at this writing and if they haven't already plunged over the edge by the time you read this, it will be somewhat of a miracle. For quite a spell now they have been committing mayhem and wholesale slaughter.. slaugh-ter.. And this fracas has been called a riot, so far. I'm not particularly surprised at their barbarism for men have been exterminating one another since before the invention inven-tion of gunpowder, when they had to resort to beating one another's brains out with a rock. However messy that must have been, it was probably just as effective for a dead man is a dead man. But most folks are not necessarily nec-essarily concerned with HOW he died, but for WHAT he died. This seems to be all important im-portant in the society in which we live, but it seems to me that a dead hero is just as dead as a dead criminal. He is a hero only to those on his side, but a criminal to those of the other side. So it is that I am not surprised sur-prised as to HOW they are killing each other but WHY they are killing each other. The issue, of course, is religion and how to live in the sight of God. And the Catholics and the Pro-testanst Pro-testanst face each other over their gunsights and the Catholic Catho-lic who kills the most Protestants Protes-tants is a hero to those on his side, a criminal to the Protestants Protes-tants and visa versa. I am sure the rank and file members of both these religions do not, by any stretch of the imagination, sanction such insanity in-sanity and pray God they will come to their senses before it is too late. I sometimes wonder if the Supreme Architect of the universe uni-verse doesn't look down in disgust dis-gust at times and question His own judgement for ever having created this animal called man. And I wonder if He wishes He had called it quits when He created the Jack-ass, for at least, they are hucble and happy for what they have and they BRAY in thankfulness, instead in-stead of PRAY in deceit. It's a troubled world to the four points of the compass and while the Irish, in Belfast, are blowing each other's heads off in an effort to point the way to true Christianity, (which means Christ-like) the pot's about to boil over on the back of the stove which is over in the Far East. Russia and China are going at it, tooth and toenail. toe-nail. But it's not as bad now as it might get for right at this moment they are striking the match which they threaten to touch to the fuse of the atomic or hydrogen bomb. The swords of another war are being rattled but most of us are hard-of-hearing, if not stone deaf. But the deaf are the fortunate ones, for what can one do? Hope? Yes ,we can hope. The Christians of Northern Ireland consider these Russians and Chinese, heathens, for they threaten to blow things sky-high sky-high in a dispute over property lines, instead of a Christian cause such as religion. They just might have a point |
