The massacre is all Romney’s fault. He has full personal responsibility. By association. Guilt by association and group guilt are important principles. Keep up the good work.

You remind me of a certain servant in the book of Acts:

16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” 18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. (Acts 16)

Now...for your "spirit" to be consistent with what you've been sarcastically saying, you would likewise need to subtly ridicule Jesus when Jesus said:

10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. 13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. (Luke 10)

The "you" Jesus is speaking of here is all "plural"; Jesus held entire communities accountable. So, yes, as you've been saying -- albeit sarcastically so -- there is such a thing as corporate guilt. (Otherwise, there was no way to hold Germany accountable for its deathcamps)

But with your sarcastic comments, you apparently would also "agree" with Jesus -- all while sarcastically labeling Him a "servant of the Most High."

In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, may that sarcastic spirit come out of you...for good!
