‘She can rot in hell for supporting that child molester Wacko Jacko’

Because she supported a friend that she thought was not guilty? Bill Buckley got in touch with a convicted rape-murderer who read NR. He fought for and helped finance appeals because the guy convinced him that he was a bad guy, but not guilty of the rape murder. Years later the guy confessed his guilt. So Bill Buckley can rot in hell?

She just died. Let’s be nice. Ms.Taylor was very generous to Jewish and Israeli charities. For that, she should be commended.

Liz Taylor's death is an example of how sinful this world has become.

That makes absolutely no sense at all. How is her death an example of how sinful the world has become? If the world wasn't so sinful she'd still be with us?

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,

Of all the unhealthy and o’er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
‘Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,

Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or read:
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.

~~Keats

RIP, Beautiful Liz.

You got me there.

Her LIFE is an example of how sinful the world has become. We are glorifying her and others rather than God. Her funeral allows all to reflect on this (multiple marriages=fornication, homosexual agenda supporter, never reads the Bible, never respects God).

Did you know that before I was born most public schools taught the Bible and had daily prayer?

-—”Can’t all the self-righteous sobs of the world wait until she’s at least room temperature?”-—

Oh you so miss it. I assume you read the article. It makes it very clear that none of us is righteous in our own selves; we are all rotten sinners. Only those who repent of their and accept Jesus substitute death and resurrection for their sins are so to speak “putting on the righteousness of G-D.” It's not our righteousness. We just want to identify with Him, but we know who we are—lousy sinners saved by G-D’s grace. Those with too much pride will never admit that they are a sinner, and they will miss the great relationship with a G-D who loves them. That's not speaking ill of a person—that's the truth.

Well, if that’s the case, since I’ve been married twice, I’m certainly not throwing stones at Liz.
