[Husker] Callahan quotes

[Steve Reichenbach]

Not one to judge, eh?  But then again, what's the rest of that post,
which looks to me like backdoor judging.

If I were to judge in such a fashion, which of course I wouldn't do
either ;-), I might guess that, casting such stones, either you are
without sin (which would be a revelation I don't believe) or aren't
a Christian (or maybe just not a very good one).  But, of course,
we aren't judging, are we ;-).

I will observe that pretty much every Christian I've met, like pretty
much everyone else, at times has lost their temper, particularly in
stressful situations, and said intemperate things.  And what is your
point in making the observation that Bill Callahan has too?

That's a rhetorical question, because, frankly, I don't think this is
a good thread to continue and I'd hoped that my last post would point
out that people really have no basis for judging such things (and if
they are Christians are instructed not to presume to do so at some
risk to themselves).

For inquiring persons, I practice (because I still don't have it
right) Roman Catholicism.  And, GASP, I say (and write) intemperate
things (even on this list) and am guilty of judging others (although
not so much about their faith).  I'm not going to presume to speak
for anyone else's faith, although others seem to have no such
compunction (except, evidently, in doing so not quite directly).
