The Rev. Richard Hall Explains Quite a Bit
http://www.donaldsensing.com/
"United Methodist pastor Donald Sensing has a post up titled “It’s Fun to Shoot Them” in which he defends the idea that killing people in war ought to be fun. Now, I’d like to respect the idea of polite engagement on the issues, but I think the pastor has at least one screw loose. I’m starting to think that some people place more glory in war than they do in Christ. Could that possibly be true?"http://theconnexion.net/wp/index.php?p=933
Today, Rev. Hall takes up the ethical problems faced by bloggers of faith:
I’m much more concerned about the lack of charity that is often seen on
Christian blogs, but even as I raise it I catch an image of pots and
kettles. I bridle at the speck on my sister’s blog and manage to ignore the
log on my own.But Christian bloggers can and do keep one another
accountable, through post and comment and link and trackback. Accountability
on blogs is perhaps greater than in any other medium by vitue of their
global reach. Christians in Malaysia and Britain and Canada and Vanuatu and
every other corner of God’s vineyard can give their perspective on each
other’s writing. If it is done with charity, all can grow. http://theconnexion.net/wp/index.php?p=946I know that my continuing series on the Christian Right and the Enlightenment (which Rev. Hall was kind enough to link) will be seen by some as strident and harsh. But I am trying to discuss these issues in a serious way that lends itself to calm discussion. I realize that many sincere conservative believers also object to extremists such as those I am writing about--I wish they would join me in rejecting such extremists and in exposing their distortions of the faith we both love. I am grateful for the many responses I have had from serious conservative commentators, such as this one. http://lawnrangers.blogspot.com/
I am grateful as well to Rev. Hall for demonstrating both the courage and the charity that is required to be truly faithful.

Gosh!
Thanks for the kind words -- kind words are always appreciated!
But the first post you mentioned was by my friend Joel who, like Donald Sensing, is a UMC minister.
Keep up the fine work!
Richard
