It requires extra effort over and above a typical Christians comfort zone, but it could be fun, while accomplishing more than a typical manger scene in the way of messaging and Christian outreach. I like it.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

What the heck... this topic was locked somehow... that's the 2nd time in about 3 weeks that a topic has been inexplicably locked...

Oh well... unlocked again. Sorry Libertas, not sure what happened.

Maybe Christians should take lessons from muzzies. Then maybe we wouldn't get picked on.

I'm afraid we wouldn't be Christians if we were to follow that course of action.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

We could just co-opt the good parts of Islam... like indiscriminately firing AK-47s into the air, and honoring the purity of our women through subjugation, abuse, and... well, we'd have to avoid the murdering our wives and daughters part...
