LOST blog post...

I just finished watching the most recent episode of LOST. Now I normally just read and participate in my friend Jared's LOST blogs at www.goingguerilla.com. He hasn't done one in awhile so I thought I would add my thoughts on last week's episode. All I have to say is:

DAMN!!!

Jared's posts are better...

Remind me again why we love Israel...

Listen, I love the fact that we have a democratic ally in the middle east as much as the next patriotic American but Jews in America are not gaining fans when they put together support rallies like this and then spew genocidal slurs against an enemy that they no longer fight from their cushy New York residences.

At first, I laughed my head off at the ignorance of those in the video but that quickly changed to uneasiness and my "What-If" imagination took over. What if Israel did decide to nuke the Palestinians? You think Iraq was a mess...try maintaining a friendship with someone who would have just instigated World War III against the global Muslim community.

Hugh Nibley quote...

"The worst sinners, according to Jesus, are not the harlots and publicans, but the religious leaders with their insistence on proper dress and grooming, their careful observance of all the rules, their precious concern for status symbols, their strict legality, their pious patriotism... the haircut becomes the test of virtue in a world where Satan deceives and rules by appearances."
