"Do you mean to tell me that as a Christian, you would not consider blowing up or otherwise killing mass murdering abortionist doctors in order to save the lives of innocent unborn infants?"

OK, so how many abortionists have you killed?

Furball...great headlines but I think our learned "head of dept" professor self inflicted his damage in order to stage yet another attempt darwinian martyrdom.

Bubblehead Mirecki does not deserve to be lowered to the level of genocidal tyrants, abortionists, and the like. Whackjobs like him ought simply to be left to stew in their terpitude. Harmless, hapless "educator."

His words about a "slap in the big fat face?" They were only rhetoric. They were metaphorical in the strictest sense and should not be taken out of context. Besides, he would never be caught wearing a red baseball cap, wearing wool gloves, or driving a big pick-up truck. He's better than all those "fundies" out there.

I think the FBI should be asking him that.

Note that all these responses are supported by the "Moderate Creationists" by their silence.

"I referenced three "Christian" creationist FReepers, not bloggers."

It's all blogging, man. How does that exactly change my point? You found some idiots. Congratulations! Have a cookie.

"Do you mean to tell me that as a Christian, you would not consider blowing up or otherwise killing mass murdering abortionist doctors in order to save the lives of innocent unborn infants?...So often I hear you "knee jerk" moralists demean and condemn others who faced with the holocaust in our country, have the courage to go after abortionists at the sacrifice of their own lives and liberty in an effort to slow down or halt this brutal, cruel, sadistic practice. Tell me something MeanWest, what gives you the right to critize these people? What have you sacrificed for these little ones?" (post 461)

Is this an acceptable post here? I'm asking in all sincerity.

Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'

"'An enemy did this,' he replied.

"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

"'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"

Up until now, I have refrained commenting on this thread, mainly because I arrived late when it turned into the sort of vile hurtfulness I'd expect from the posters at Daily "screw'em" Kos, but not normally from FR. I will say that while I do believe that Mirecki's claims of having been beaten were legitimate, unless the thugs are caught, we have, at this moment, no information on their actual motivations, just speculation and, alas, exploitation. These sorts of early-morning thuggery are all too common, and having for the past six years lived in neighborhoods in close to proximity to bars, I am all too aware of such senseless violence, especially since I was a victim of such a beating earlier this summer. The creeps who beat me didn't do so because of my atheism, nor, as far as I know, was it racially motivated (I'm white; the guys who attacked me were black), because they said nothing that suggested so. Unless further press releases confirm that the @$$#oles that attacked Mirecki made taunts regarding his political or theological views, I will simply view Mirecki's situation as another case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time

It's obviously not acceptable; I presume he is either a truly sick person or a plant from the Democratic Underground.

My response to such silliness is above.

Just please, don't confuse Creationist with Christians.

It's a bit like a Vehn (sp? Venn?) diagram. There may be some overlap, but not necessarily.

This Christian, for one, is disgusted by these idiots, regardless of whether this attack is real or faked.

I agree that I don't know if Mirecki is telling the truth. I am just amazed (sorta) by the glee that some are taking here at the possibility it is true. I am sure he is another left-wing wacko; that wouldn't make beating him up right for a few comments.

Mirecki did say that the thugs spoke of his statements on ID while they were beating him.

But they did nothing to him that hasn't been advocated previously on FR, with the full knowledge of the moderators, and celebrated by our resident Christians.

Sorry you were assaulted, BTW. I hope they got the guys.

They are Christians-in-Name-Only.

Nary a one of them reads or understands the scripture.

One of many admonitions (by Christ, himself, no less), against such self-help "weeding" is above.

How did they know who he was?

Thanks for the kind words, RWP. They may have finally caught the buttpipes responsible for my assault, but not after they robbed a few other law-abiding citizens. I will further note that there are plenty of Christians on FR who I have become friends with and are in all likelihood reading this thread while reaching for the dramanine.

Well, I'll take your word for it, MWT. I'm just not in a very good mood with them right now.

He says they did.

I'm not going to argue the plausibility of his story. I'm agnostic about it. Some things about it struck me as odd initially, but I read the discussion among the locals on the Lawrence paper, and now they seem less odd. What annoys me is the reaction here.
