Comments on: “He answered both of them” https://thenewneo.com/2013/05/21/he-answered-both-of-them/ A blog about political change, among other things Thu, 23 May 2013 19:13:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Mrs Whatsit https://thenewneo.com/2013/05/21/he-answered-both-of-them/#comment-602217 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:13:16 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=28019#comment-602217 I do not see a single post on this thread celebrating God for supposedly finding the dog or answering the woman’s prayers. Nobody expressed any opinion at all as to God’s role in it. People spoke admiringly of the brave old lady, hoped she is doing well and were glad for her that she didn’t lose her little dog after all. Randy read what he wanted to see into these posts. When it comes to religious blindness, Randy, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”

I’ve always wondered how it’d be to live with a truly simple mind. Thanks for sharing, Randy!

I could care less about this woman’s dog.

Aristocrats, always the same.

For seconds we’d like our paperwork, just because it’s a pain to reproduce, and the computers because I have years of work in them. BUT if we all get out with our lives, we’re okay and nothing to lament.” That’s what I saw here. She and her dog is okay, the rest is just things. And I’m SO glad she got her little dog. (And we ended up not having to evacuate. But just making the choices gave us new perspective on life.)

I was trying to find out if she had somewhere to go last night. She didn’t mention any family or friends. I live too far away to offer her a place to stay, but I would have sent money.

The poor reporter wanted her to be much more distraught, eh? Loved her deadpan “That’s life in the big city” response.
