BTW, John… your post concerning Lively and violence wasn’t there when I wrote my previous post. I was answering ‘grantdale.’ So if you thought I was commenting on you, you were mistaken.

Did I say that?

I said one was within his professional views as a professor psychology who deals with matters of sexuality. The other is not necessarily so.

“‘We’(?) don’t share the same priorities?? You and I? There are days (especially in the last 8 years), that I have had fleeting thoughts about striking back at the likes of Lively – in physical manner. I suspect that is because of the few past physical attacks upon my person because I am gay. But even so I have tried to find allies where I can, or those who would be allies and groom them. So your priorities I’ll leave to those younger than I. I am getting too old to have what seem to be such absolutes.

Are you suggesting that he places a higher priority on mocking a kook than addressing violence and murder? I guess we really don’t share the same priorities.

I’d say that Brundidge, whose association with Cohen, would be someone more on the psychology professor’s mind – someone more associated with his own professional capacities and divergent from his religious viewpoint. Nothing more, nothing less. I don’t expect absolute perfection from him as you seem to do, I realize the guy is simply human with his own priorities.

Have to agree with grantdale. I care far less about a loon creaping around mortuaries screaming, “Lazarus,get up and walk!” than I do about a guy like Lively who tries to justify the brutal murder of an innocent man in a park in Sacramento.

Lively is connected to violence, and I have a hard time believing that Throckmorton isn’t familiar with this guy.

Indeed Timothy, but personally I’d rather have someone foolishly trying to raise people from the dead than be deaded myself or see someone deading other people.

The alive-again loon is no threat.

The you’re-dead loon is.

Sorry, them’s the order of my priorities :)

ps: we did say Brundidge was the soft target. Plainly he’s a sandwich short of a picnic. Not sure if you were acknowledging that, or pointing it out.

grantdale…

It may well be that Brundidge was the easier participant to ridicule.

It’s like a conference with Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and David Dukes. When writing about such an event, I would probably focus most on Dukes. Not because I approve of Limbaugh or Coulter, but because Dukes is by far the more extreme.

To Throckmorton, Lively’s anti-gay agenda may be excessive, but it is no where near as radical and bizzare of a theological position as is trying to raise the dead or claiming that God is showering people with gold and jewels from Heaven.

Lynn David,

Are you suggesting that Warren Throckmorton apparently invested Caleb Lee Brundidge extensively… but didn’t even bother with Scott Lively?

(Don Schmierer we can safely assume he was already on ready terms with).

Doesn’t it strike you as odd that if two (claimed) unknown people appeared on a press release that you would only investigate one person?

I know we’d be checking on both, assuming we knew nothing of either.

Warren would too, we are certain. Why he has therefore subsequently ‘forgotten’ all about Scott Lively is more telling than anything. We’ve already given our reasoning for why he would do that.

Ignore what we or anyone are claiming: think it through for yourself, one step at a time :)
