Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews? Servetus? Holy cow!”) I do not disavow.   Stonewall and Lee like knights of old Fought for their native soil, The true and lovely to uphold Against the tyrant’s spoil.   (“Those vile racists broke their vow!”) I do not disavow.   Men

A Provocative Riddle

As in, I'm trying to provoke thought.

Q. What is the difference between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama?


A. Only one of them is a Christian.

Thought has been provoked.

Conclusion: You will be accused of being a narrow-minded judgmental person because you don't consider Mormons Christians due to their incredibly bizarre belief system involving polytheism and magic underwear.

It depends on how you define the word Christian. Or do we allow people to self-define in such instances?

Good question. I had actually intended to write a follow-up post to this, but then I got busy. Maybe I'll do that.
