You have to take a look at this. In England six men arrested during a riot were released without bail and told to come back next year for their trials. Okay, what is so strange about that? The judge who released them does not know who they are.
Yes. You read that right. They were arrested for being part of a violent protest. They were taken to jail. They refused to give their names. They were released on something called “unconditional bail”. They were told to come back next March for the trial. I think this judge is lobbying for a position on our Supreme Court.
Anybody want to bet on whether they show up or not?

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

The world is run by idiots (but then, you already knew that)!
ReplyDeleteWhat continues to disappoint me is not that our leaders are idiots but that so many people keep voting for them. It is easy to get people to see problems but when you tell them to vote different the eyes start to glaze over.
