Paul? The gentile apostle after my own heart. I have my own personal struggles each day, and the Lord is quite familiar with that they may be. My language is a reflection of my mood and I will admit that at times it isn’t befitting of someone such as myself.

However, That is my vice to bear. I need not be reminded of it.

As for the superlative “Worser” it was not meant to be taken as a serious exclamation, but as a use of exaggerated satire. Why would I use a satirical function in this post? Well, at the time the news stories were coming in faster than I could post them and I was trying to exemplify haste.

I’m not going to ever claim that my grammar is 100% spot on, but I can assure you that my way of thinking, as shrewd as it may seem some times, will always be accurate.

One, part of the ability to think accurately (taken from Heinlein’s quote) is the ability to use the appropriate language. “Worser” is not the correct superlative.

Two, as Christians, how well does your writing and the opinions of your readers imitate Christ? Ever read Paul? Keep in mind all his warnings about what evil our mouths, tongues, and words are capable of.

I don’t even consider the Taliban as people. They are monsters. That’s why they’re called, Terrorists. They don’t need a reason to kill. To them, it doesn’t matter where you come from; the whole World is their enemy. And if that’s how they are going to exist, I would’ve nuke them years ago. I know very well that there’s likely a chance of innocent casualties involved, I would sacrifice them in order to put an end to their senseless acts. I know some of you might think after hearing that from me that I’m also a ‘monster’, well, I’m only fighting fire with a stronger fire. Look what the atomic bomb did to Japan. There were certainly innocent civilians that had nothing to do with the war, but didn’t it all end that moment? Didn’t they raised their white flag that day? So yes, these 2-bit scums have no other purpose but to kill and insignificant loss to the families of the hostages they’ve mercilessly killed. An atomic bomb (or even a nuclear one ) should be disposed upon them to give them a taste of their own medicine.

I have a feeling the Afghanistan govt. is involved in all this. Putting a facade pretending not to know it all. I mean wtf, it’s their country, how can they not know where these low-life scums are hiding? Its not like they work on a small no. of quantities, they work in large networks.

I feel really sad to the families of the hostages. They weren’t even part of the military who they think is ‘occupying’ their territory. Those Christians were there voluntarily for aid. They don’t carry arsenals but medical equipments.
