I find it hard to believe that no one has commented in the 9 months since it was posted. Beautiful, simply beautiful, as only transparancy can be. I've had way too many nights like this ... I'm older now, and pray sooner than I used to. Sometimes. :) Thank you so much! This is such an honest prayer! I find it hard to believe that no one has commented in the 9 months since it was posted.

I wasn't using OWS as a metaphor (e.g., Paul's "protest" is the same as OWS). I was simply saying, "We are all aware of a contemporary situation where people are protesting, and the protesting is rooted in financial matters; In 1 Tim. 6, we find Paul protesting, and what he's protesting is financial matters." It's a fine line, but one I was intentionally walking. I specifically pointed out the "claims" of OWS and didn't discuss them as settled facts. There are a lot of opinions about the pros and cons of OWS and I had/have no intent of addressing them. My role in 1 Tim. 6 was to point out the problems with wealth in the church. Christians often easily identify the problems with wealth in our culture but we are less likely to see and address problems with wealth within our own walls. That, ultimately, was the purpose of "Loaded." I appreciate the points you make about OWS. I wasn’t using OWS as a metaphor (e.g., Paul’s “protest” is the same as OWS).

From first-hand encounters with 3 Occupy camps, my impression is that they are made up of well over 50% homeless who have no idea why they are there except for the juice and sandwiches.  Another 49% includes abortion activists, anti-military types, Jew haters, you name it.  Probably about 1% are there to protest "wealth inequities".   A  question here that I've never seen addressed:  At what point does wealth disparity become "equitable"? The OWS protests do not resemble anything I can find in scripture.  They are unlawful, full of criminal behaviour, and  you wouldn't dare walk your children thru their camp because of the obscenity in speech and behavour.  What is happening in the OWS protests is this:  a bunch of 5-year olds are screaming while clutching candy at  the grocery check-out.  The adults in society wimped out when this happened in the 60s', and we are paying for their weakness in today's immoral, ungodly culture.  We shouid be praying  - and preaching, Chris - that this kind of destruction doesn't happen again.
