Scalia quote

[Abbey Marie]

This great quote is going around. I hope it is true- I'm out and no chance to check:

"God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools...and He has not been disappointed....If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world."

-- Antonin Scalia

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Abbey again.

Such wisdom will be soundly and passionately rejected by most of the world.
Walking in darkness and pursing the evils of the flesh being so much easier and temporarily satisfying.
I know this quite well, as I once ran(raced like hell) for all that , as walking did not get me enough!

Scalia was the huge boulder blocking the obama, now that boulder is no longer in the way.
Either by hook and crook or by good fortune the obama got that "gift" and likely got down on his prayer rug and thanked Allah upon hearing the good news. -Tyr
