But the next day he still welcomed some of them tar and feather chaps into the church. What a sweetie. I wonder how you morally superior guys would handle that sitch. Probably not so well? I don't know if you guys are like STS says, fighting any stupid position that aligns with your side you can or not. I doubt it for osme, some others I guess i wouldn't be surprised.
You sound seriously angry now. Why is that? I've said my piece. I don't believe his behavior measures up to what I have been taught my entire life and what I have tried to live. If that makes me "morally superior," that's of no consequence to me. He may have been the nicest guy in the world, nicer than I am. He might have been more generous than I am. So, in those respects he might be better than me. So what?
And yes, he did suffer some (six months in a miserable jail is no picnic), but in general he got out of every bad situation he was in. I was just saying I think he probably thought he would get out of Carthage OK, too. Again, that's no excuse for people shooting him.
