[The Urban Sombrero]

Wrong, the concept was that not everybody can be king, and not everybody can be rich, but every able body can earn a living. Those who cannot, are to be taken care of. The Jew accomplished that through the act of gleaning, and through the ministry of the Church. We used to do that through government assistance programs until Dems realized they could use those programs to buy votes. Now things are out of control. And you can't even define what you believe, much less what I believe. But please do continue your ridiculous attempts to tag me with your absurdities.

The Athenians of Paul's day worshiped many gods, they even had an alter designated for any god or gods to whom they might not have been aware. Thus there was an altar which was inscribed in honor of "the unknown god." Paul recognized this as the perfect opportunity to introduce the men of Greece to the One true God, and began to preach to them from that premise. Many were saved as the result. Your analogy of the unknown god is therefore woefully insufficient, as Paul introduced the men of Athens to The God of the universe. There was no confusion in Paul's mind, though yours may be another matter.

Welcome to the spin zone, courtesy of resident pompous Pontius, TRT. Did Paul use a "non holy" thing to make a spiritual point, as springboard for spiritual discourse? Yes, he did. As a child, watching "The Wizard of Oz," did you clap your hands and wet yourself and yell, "Look, Mommy, look, the Scarecrow, a man made of straw."?

Leave it to you, TRT, to suggest some folks making minimum wage might protest because they are not king. What rot. You keep engaging some imagined bogey man that is not here appearing. I would remind you that Dr. King was in Memphis on behalf of sanitation workers, and it is certainly within the Christian's sphere to care enough about dishonest scales to speak up.
