He’s the original Drill Sergeant, according to some.
Apt description Grog, I’m stealing that. He did come here to divide us from those that are here to steal, kill, cheat, abuse and lie.
I can totally see Jesus saying: “Why, you little maggot! You make me want to vomit! (slaps Joker across the face) You Goddamn communist heathen! You had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary, or I’m gonna stomp your guts out!”
This is my rifle, this is my gun.
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will… My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit… My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will… Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace! by Major General William H. Rupertus (USMC, Retired)
Steal away, Bear Claw, no play on words intended, I have no exclusive claim on history.
It should actually read, “Jesus is coming! Quick, everyone look faithful.”
Innerwebz comment of the day Grumpy, isn’t that the truth. I am never amazed at how fast people bail out the church sanctuary.
“Look busy” is less miscreantiginous than “Stick out your tongue.”
Has anyone actually read the New Testament, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, the Jesus part of the Bible?
