The following is a reaction video provided by Dr. White regarding the recent election. It has had a surprising (to me) resonation within the blogosphere. If you haven't already seen it, I would encourage you to watch it. I don't endorse everything he has to say, but he makes a lot of good points.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
TF,
ReplyDeleteI watched the video like a test to see if I could pick out what you do not "endorse" about what Dr. White has to say. I failed at my attempt. Would you please share what you do not endorse.

Zog,
ReplyDeleteGood question. It is an 18 minute video. I haven't found anything in particular to disagree with. I do not personally know whether Obama supports homosexual marriage - I thought that he did not. Also, I don't necessarily agree that America's culture is already "anti-Christian," although it is a shame that the election results are a bad sign.

Turretinfan, you are right about thinking that Obama doesn't support homosexual marriage, but the caveat is that he would not actively oppose it. So there is enough nuance there which would allow James White to make the statement he did. However, in the world of sound-bits, it probably was not the most responsible thing to say.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was pretty much on target.
ReplyDeleteI thought Dr. White's head was just a tad bit shiney!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if the shine was natural and induced after he shaves it? :) or :(, you decide?
:) -- I'm guessing the shine is just the normal effect of a bald head.
ReplyDeleteSome choose to soar with just hoary headed golden eagles, and some like to soar with bald eagles, like Dr. White and me! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are nevertheless suppose to soar with "eagles" soaring!
Maybe I was such a "bit" presumptuous associating my hoary head with Dr. White's bald head and being eaglelike, like him?
