[Uncle Joe Cannon]

Outside a looted Rite-Aid drugstore, some people were anxious to show they needed what they were taking. A gray-haired man who would not give his name pulled up his T-shirt to show a surgery scar and explained that he needs pads for incontinence. ``I'm a Christian. I feel bad going in there,'' he said. Earl Baker carried toothpaste, toothbrushes and deodorant. ``Look, I'm only getting necessities,'' he said. ``All of this is personal hygiene. I ain't getting nothing to get drunk or high with.''

No one cares about that. Perfectly understandable. It is the people carting off Nike Sneakers, TV sets, kegs of beer, etc., while wearing a s$*%-eating grin, that gets my craw...

I agree 150%.

It makes sense, it's regrettable, but practical in these circumstances. You need a pair of shoes, a change of clothes, something to eat, drink. Alright. But these jackasses stealing guns, looting hospitals, nursing homes, etc..shoot 'em.

This one man's conscience is easily resolved with a practical solution. He is to remain in faith with God, understand the situation is for him to handle through faith, and all sin has already been paid for. One solution is for him to recompense the legitimate owner of the materials he is taking. He might also find opportunity to use the same resources to witness to others in other innovative fashions without leaving any fellowship with God. The accusation og looting will always be used against the conscientious, while those actually guilty and unbelieving have no conscience. The trick is to fish and remain faith to God through Christ and let Him handle the complexities through faith -resting in Him.
