Radical Stuff

When I told a friend who’s a judge about this blog, he (knowing my antigovernment leanings) asked “does it have a bunch of radical stuff on it?”

Well, it doesn’t, but since he promised to check in I thought I’d post a little radical antigovernment story.

This is for the judges and prosecutors. (Our elected district attorney ran for that office while wearing a wristband asking “WWJD?” I think this story will answer that question.):

1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned, but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

    I hit this post after following a link that said that regular readers should know how you feel about what part religion should play in government. I didn’t; I still don’t. Elucidate, if you’re so inclined, please.

    Michael, “regular readers know that I’m very interested in the role that religion . . . should play[] in government.” Not that they should know how I feel about it, other than being interested in the question.
