No, you have alot right, I in fact have a truck full of tools, and
jumper cables, and tow ropes. I have been known to stop in the middle
of the central valley highway, now known as TREX, and pull astranded
mororist out of the traffic during rush hour. Having done so whn they
offer to pay me, I say know, but let me tell you about God's Love.

Now that would freak me out, Tink, but I'd be ever-so grateful for

your
help anyway. But this leads me to another question having to do with
religion. I'm assuming, when you talk of religion, you're talking

about
Christianity, right?

OK, I know this was kinda faddish, trendy, and perhaps corny a year

or
two ago, but what about that "What would Jesus do?" query? Look,

here's
where I'm going with this. Those of us in the center, politically

(that
would be left to those in the red states), always kinda liked that
question. Even though we tended not to be the religious types, the
"What would Jesus do?" question appealed to many of us because, well,
the answer generally came out as "Whatever the socialists would do,
that's what Jesus would do."

Pick a social topic, Tink. Any topic. Let's say, healthcare plans.
You've now read about quite a few different public policy options.
"Which would Jesus choose?"

Capital punishment (or not)? What would Jesus choose?

And we could go on, and on, through a long laundry list of social and
public policy issues. My bet is, 90% of the time (at a minimum),

Jesus
would come down on the side of the left-wing liberals.

Whadda think, Tink?

WINK The lefties love you!

This is another great post, and I would love to go into depth, but that
will have to wait till later.

Briefly, capital punishment, Jesus said, "Let him that is without
transgression of the law, throw the first Stone"

the sick and hugry, he healed them and fed them.

Now I would like to ask you a question, Jesus told us not to
proselytize, but we are to witness. What does each mean, and what is
the difference? Would this have any bering on my statements about God's
love on RBP? TnT
