Saddam Hussein Hanging LIVE Thread

[LowOiL]

How many times have you heard or read swords into ploughshares

There was that one radical group (trident ploughshares) that took reference from the Bible on turning swords into ploughshares. Don't remember the chapter verse?

[oneamericanvoice]

"I hope he was afraid when he died the way so many of his victims were, and I hope he's in Hell right now."

He should have been afraid, since I heard it was the Shites pulling the lever. Althougth they acted incredibly compassionate, giving him the scarf so he wouldn't get rope burn (as if).

Is he in Hell? YOU BETCHA! And I'm still celebrating! Eat pork in his memory!

[Mr. Silverback]

Nah, that's okay. I'll pass.

Do you even know what I was linking to? Here's the shorthand: Your moralizing compadre harrowup thinks it's unseemly to approve of Saddam's execution, but he makes anal fetish jokes about Alexander Litivenko's slow and painful death and about the climbers who died on Mount Hood.

Now, that doesn't mean I consider you a hypocrite, but I can't imagine your condemnation of the Christians in this thread sits on a proper Biblical foundation. I cannot think of a greater enemy of God than Hussein.

"State that the murder of PM Rabin was a terrible act of revenge and I'll ignore your further abuse of the truth..."

[streetpreacher]

"Your moralizing compadre"

Sorry, but I wasn't jumping to his defense or attacking anyone else for that matter.

As I wrote to another FReeper, my comments weren't directed to anyone in particular but just a general admonition to believers.

"I cannot think of a greater enemy of God than Hussein."

He may be God's enemy but that doesn't Christians are to regard him as our enemy. We only have one true enemy.

As far as that goes, anyone who has refused to submit to Christ's Lordship is His enemy.

[harrowup]

Your moralizing compadre harrowup thinks it's unseemly to approve of Saddam's execution, but he makes anal fetish jokes about Alexander Litivenko's slow and painful death and about the climbers who died on Mount Hood.

Many approve the execution. Only a knuckledragger would celebrate.

As for Litty and the climbers, they fixed their own wagons.

Get back to me when you understand the difference, but not before. I'm an old man and you're a slow learner.

For the record, I do not know 'streetpreacher' and I regret any harm that may befall same because a pitchforker thinks he is my 'compadre'.

[Mr. Silverback]

Nice words, but they are an example of how one can have the right attitude but reach the wrong conclusion. Consider this: Of the over six billion people alive on Planet Earth last Friday, none of them, not a single one, had killed or otherwise harmed as many people as Hussein, or was even close.

His victims exacted justice as God gave them the authority to in the book of Romans. to be glad they had that right is far from unchristian.

[Mr. Silverback]

Many approve the execution. Only a knuckledragger would celebrate.

Yes, yes, truly a lesson from a great moral light, a wonderful kind of guy who makes anal fetish jokes about people who died horribly.

I'm an old man

Well then, it may not be long before some other great moral leader is making anal fetish jokes about your dead carcass. Try not to act surprised.

[streetpreacher]

I don't disagree with a thing you just wrote so I think you are fighting a straw man.

[Mr. Silverback]

OK, so you had a problem with Christians being glad he's dead, but I say that it's OK for Christians to be glad he's dead and now you say you agree with me? What in the world?

[streetpreacher]

No, I had a problem with Christians cheering and celebrating his death, hope he's in hell, etc. I'd just as soon let this conversation die if it's alright with you.

[streetpreacher]

Actually, I would have a problem with anyone being "glad" someone is dead. We could be pleased that justice has been served but to gloat or to be pleased at the death of someone is indeed sinful.

[wafflehouse]

Try not to act surprised.

LOL

[Mr. Silverback]

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week, try the veal! :-)

[harrowup]

Well then, it may not be long before some other great moral leader is making anal fetish jokes about your dead carcass. Try not to act surprised.

Let's take streetpreacher's advice and refrain from further discussion of this distasteful event...there are other threads far worse than this one.

[Mr. Silverback]

Translation: "Uncle!"

[theDentist]

Only a knuckledragger would celebrate.

So I am of a family of nuckledraggers? My 14-y.o. niece will be shocked.

[harrowup]

No, the translation is that in spite of your credentials as an advocate of creationism, you are exhibiting a primary missing link characteristic to your primate cousins in the close proximity of your knuckles to the ground.

Unfortunately for you, while your cousins can soar through the protective forest canopy you are relegated to crawling the fetid swamps of bigotry, ignorance and hate.

When cherry picking your bible please remember that it is a minority view and your translation an abomination of same.

[harrowup]

So I am of a family of nuckledraggers? My 14-y.o. niece will be shocked.

If you celebrated the execution then you are indeed a knuckledragger. I can't speak for the rest of your family but I can guess that if your niece is schooled in a public environment she won't be shocked at all.

[theDentist]

Effin' right I celebrated, not becuase I enjoy the death of any man, woman or child, but because one of the most ruthless despicable sunuvabich ever whelped into mankind was thrown out the door thru a newly created justice system for all the deaths he had caused and (IMO) was continuing to cause. While you may have wept at his execution, perhaps you can find joy in that he is no longer among the living.
