ENielsen introduces a short modern parable..
"A rich man sold all that he owned, and gave the proceeds to the poor. Everyone spoke well of the man, and his good and praiseworthy deeds. Many considered him to be like a father to them. But the man ended his life by jumping off of a cliff, and encouraged others to follow him over the edge. Many, who respected him, jumped off the cliff and perished in agony. A certain writer saw thousands of people jumping off the cliff, and he wrote books and articles telling them to stop, lest they die in agony. When people heard what the writer had to say, they criticized him and said that he was not being respectful of the rich man who gave his money to the poor."
Nuff said :)

Hi, saw that your were at pastor bret's blog. I saw your article about the ten commandments and was wondering if I could use it in my religious blog. I would copy it from your blog and paste it on mine. In return, I would list a courtesy under the post, AND add a link to my sidebar. Just comment back if that is okay. You can visit my blog of course first. I find the ten commandments a popular issue these days. Have a great day,

That is ok CT. You have my permission.
