To discuss or even write about Al Sharpton and Franklin Graham is to take up 2 Pharisees of today and ignore the deep thoughts this article brings to your attention. NOT INTERESTED --- sorry . . .

Gene, would you consider contrasting Franklin Graham's ambitions to serve our Lord, while Franklin plods his path, to the pathway granted an Al Sharpton's grand plan of service to Him, or service to something else?

Currently, I see his service as to something else.

We are talking the story of Bible text transmission which is most fascinating:

www.google.com

Get ready for many days of interesting discoveries. You can also check for Discovery / Learning Channel programs on archaeology and manuscript discoveries. Some churches are scared to even touch the subject. I think we are far better informed about faith to know the story well --- AND worship God in faith rather than bow down to some written thing we seldom read and poorly understand . . .

GS: Maybe my Bibles are not the same as yours or my technical education has corrupted my ability to interpret the English or maybe I need to learn Greek and Old Hebrew. But something is terribly wrong. I have a Catholic friend who can read Latin. Would that help me understand whatever you are talking about?

Sharia Law is nothing different from Old Testament female put down. With a Master of Divinity degree that was part of the studies. In addition, my Emory connection gets me recent updates of surrounding cultures of the Greeks and Egyptians where women HAD A PLACE legally and emotionally in their world.

My Great Grandmother once asked my father why the Bible did not give women much credit nor respect. His answer was classic: "Mrs. Williams, given a good donkey or good wife, most Hebrew men would prefer the donkey --- because it was more often OBEDIENT!"

How does the need for Viagra and Sharia Law get in the same comment?

What did FDR say to the American Public after Pearl Harbor: "We have nothing to fear---but fear itself!!!"

You who are sleepless are the perfect prey for Terrorists. My mother used to live in terror at safe Stone Mountain and think every crime in Atlanta happened in her back yard. That is one of the OLD AGE Infarctions of the brain! I call it Brain Farting in Fear!

The Middle East has always been a put down place for women from the OT. Jesus invited them to join his band and they did. The reason men fear women is that they can't satisfy one wife---much less several!!!

I can assure you women can take care of themselves --- NOW back to the last observations which are far more important than this diversion:
1. Why do people of like persuasion seem to always find a way to fuss and fight?

2. Even in religion, why is more blood shed than almost any other thing of disagreement?

3.Is it ever possible to understand one another to the point you don't have to fight --- just walk away to do your own thing.

4. We can "agree to disagree" if certain things do not make sense to the thinker????

I loved and respected Billy Graham / his son, not so much as he makes big bucks and puts his family members on the feed bag. Father and son are 2 entirely different kinds of leaders and Christians. Franklin reminds me of Pharisees of Jesus' day.

Yes Gene, "Fear stuff" is part of my life as we face the inevitable of future of inclusive Democrat policies regarding Mosques fomenting homeland terrorists, Honor Killings, and the teaching of Hate.

As much as you use 'Hate Speech', you should know about these guys, and their vision of our future nation already.

Plus, I like and respect Franklin Graham, and I especially love his father. These are two of North Carolina's finest citizens.

GS: I will try to find the articles. Numerous recent attempts to put Sharia Law into American Law are reported.

Sharia Law has no place in America. It will be abolished.
