I mean that IMHO the teachings of the Christian religion contain the revolutionary concept of NOT REACTING IN VIOLENCE OR HATE to that which is “the enemy”. Rather, the Christian is asked to imitate the compassion and love of Christ, rising ABOVE the level of the enemy in behavior, and wishing only what is best for them. This is an inner attitude which is reflected in the behavior. It is impossible to square this elevated, difficult-to-achieve inner state with the violent and inflamed rhetoric of Coulter. THe fact that the Darwinite Devotees display this behavior is an invitation to all serious Christians to behave differently. This should be obvious. Bandying about the type of rhetoric I have read quoted above (Coulter’s comments) because it makes one feel a sense of bad-ass gratification at trouncing the enemy at his own game is a woefully bad substitute for the demanding LOVINGKINDNESS of Christ.

mmadigan: I believe tinabrewer's post was on Ann Coulter's comments, which you defend by saying that "Jesus upset the moneylenders." and go on to attach "vicious and violent" to "Darwinite Devotees."

Jesus may indeed have upset the moneylenders and even struck them with a knotted cord, but that's hardly comparable to calling for forcible conversion and killing of innocents as Coulter did.

Now, the only "Darwinite Devotee" I see you mention is Dawkins. As much as I may disagree with and dislike Dawkins, could you point to where Dawkins has called for the things Coulter has? If you can't, then your comparison is inappropriate.

It's a well known fact that Richard Dawkins is effeminate, sissified, emasculate, and weak. There's no real way to compare his passive-aggressive personality with one as strong as Coulter's. Coulter eschews political correctness and that's why so many people either love or hate her. There's little middle ground. She is comparable with Howard Stern only on the opposite end of the political spectrum, far better educated, and more comely. -ds

I think Jesus annoyed the moneylenders.
When you speak of violent vicious defense of their religion,,,,
do you mean the Darwinite Devotees?

“Ann Coulter is viciously funny…if you can’t annoy your opponents,who can you?”…well, something to consider is the fact that Ann pretends to defend Christianity, which to her appears to mean opening presents at Christmastime (see above quote) Perhaps it is a accurate measure of the degree to which we have truly absorbed the foundational messages of Christianity (for example, “love your enemies”) when large numbers of people get excited about this violent, vicious defense of their “religion”.

Conservative darwinites may have their eyes opened…Dawkins or Coulter?

Black Hole Sun: “Public school teachers are the most terribly overworked and under-appreciated professionals in the country.”

Reply: The school teachers in my former highschool work 4 hours a day, 8 months a year, and are paid an average of $50,000. Sounds more like a bunch of overpaid union members to me.

With the inclusion of Anne Coulter in this coven of psychopaths and mystics of yours, I’ve never been prouder to be one of the godless liberals you want to send to Guantanamo. (Or shoot, whatever the program calls for.) Nor have I ever felt more contentedly godless, if she is one of the multifarious faces of this Neo-Christianity.

tinabrewer: To be honest, that’s part of Ann Coulter’s style. Whether it’s hyperbole and deliberately inflammatory comments ,I have no idea, but the same Ann Coulter that, after 9/11, said : “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity” also said :

“My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”

Ann Coulter on Islam: “It’s always so comforting when Muslims cite the precise verse from the Quran that tells them killing is wrong. Don’t all empathetic human beings understand that instinctively? ” Note how this claim of “all empathetic human beings” knowing that killing is wrong clashes so nicely with Ann’s idea of carpet-bombing foreign countries and bombing the NY Times building

This little bash at Islam is interesting: “Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity (as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of ‘kill everyone who doesn’t smell bad and doesn’t answer to the name Mohammed’)”. From Ann’s column.

Also this gem, since removed from Ann’s site, in Dec. of 2004: “To The People Of Islam: Just think: If we’d invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU’D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW! Merry Christmas.”

Ann Coulter : speaking FOR God, said: ” God says, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’” This despite Biblical admonitions on proper stewardship of the Earth and a growing Christian “Green” movement?

I was surprised at Kent Hovind being supported here, but this is perhaps more surprising. It’s certainly not my place to advise anyone on public relations, but I hope that my posting of her comments, taken from various sites on the internet, might give pause. JP
Sites: http://www.washingtonmonthly.c.....isdom.html , http://www.nationalreview.com/.....lter.shtml and http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter

It doesn’t give ME pause. Ann Coulter is hugely popular. True, she’s prone to hyperbole but the poster child for the left is Howard Stern and propriety prevents me from even quoting the best (or worst, depending on your POV) of his speech. -ds
