Texas Pastor Electrocuted During Baptism

WACO, Texas - A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted inside his church Sunday morning after adjusting a nearby microphone while standing in water, a church employee said.

The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was stepping into the baptistery as he reached out for the microphone, which produced an electric shock, said University Baptist Church community pastor Ben Dudley.

...Lake was pronounced dead at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center.

While that is terrible and I feel for the family and friends of the pastor, it makes me ponder.

Reactionaries, obviously, freak out about everything and many times point to God in their reaction. for instance, katrina happened because of the immoral people that live in new orleans. california fires happen because of the gays. 9/11 happened cause of all the liberals that....*

I know they won't respond to this, but it would be amusing if they did.


* Did you notice they always go after happy people? People that are about peace, love and understanding SO obviously bring on the wrath of God.

Very good quote

"I was part of that wild and crazy Class of '94 that shook the political landscape by taking over the House after more than 50 years of unfettered Democrat control. We came to Washington full of ideals and conviction.

But sadly, what they say about absolute power is coming to reality in the 2005 GOP Washington. Republicans in just 10 years have developed the arrogance it took the Democrats 30 years to develop."

—Former Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK)

"Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely"

CIA's secret terror suspect prisons

The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement.

John at AmericaBLOG says:

I know we have to play hardball with some of these guys. But Jesus, using Soviet-era prisons?

But hey, don't you dare compare what WE'RE doing to prisoners with what the Soviets or the Nazis did to prisoners. Sure we're using their own compounds, but it's totally different. Like Abu Ghraib—before it was Saddam's torture place, and now it's our. But the difference is we're the GOOD guys. See?

See? Even the dark, evil truth can be funny.
