David Knowles, a Wolverine (no, not THOSE Wolverines…Grove City College, silly!) is the host of this week’s Christian Carnival, which, if you’re in the blogging Stone Age or something, is the showcase for all the week’s best Godblogging. Here’s the link!
Good work, David; believe me, I know, since I posted Carnival 78!!!
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.
Radically Tolerant - of all people, irrespective of race, faith, circumstance. As a person, you will be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve as an individual created in the image of God.
Radically Intolerant - of slipshod reasoning, emotion without intellectual substance, bad ideas, lazy thinking, cowardly ad hominem attacks, the preposterous notion that 9/11 is some government conspiracy (proceed directly to the Loony Bin; do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200), the designated hitter, and the Dallas Cowboys.

Thanks for the link Pastor B. Small world – I have a brother starting at GCC this Fall (third sibling of mine to do so) so I’ll be down to visit him every once in a while, I’m sure – so I might look a fellow blogger up – maybe treat you to a Krispy Kreme if you have the time.
Not sure about you but I definitely spent more than the 2-3 hours that the posting guidelines mention in preparing the CC. Was talking with a friend and he suggested limiting it to the first 30 or 50 or however many entrants. Thoughts?

Indeed a small world, David; in fact, our friend “My Name is Not Required” is, I’m 99.6% certain, none other than the Wolverine Director of Counseling himself (or should I say, “ex-director”, since the school has now bumped him up to the position of “fellow” of some fancy think-tank they’ve got. “Fellow”…sounds almost a little, well, effeminate, don’t you think?).
Anyway, I’ll be happy to scarf down a Krispy Kreme with you; look me up at Fellowship Community Church in Mercer (“FCC”); perhaps you actually visited once or twice during your tenure at GCC?
2-3 hours, is THAT what they told you? Yeah…took me closer to 15, because I read every post (well, one or two were book reviews of books that didn’t really interest me, so I skimmed rapidly). But it was an honor to do it, and I plan to do it again.
