Re: Letter to the Editor, in the Daily Record, by John D. Capsouras, Randolph: "FORMER VICE PRESIDENT... Torture is never acceptable option...To the Editor: To former vice president Dick Cheny and his ilk--- Three things wrong under any circumstance: pedophilia, incest and torture! Enough said, you cretins?"
I cannot sit by and let this letter go by without an answer. First of all, this is all about 'waterboarding,' and has nothing to do with "pedophilia' and "incest," --in the name of "Dick Chenny and his ilk." Waterboarding is indeed a scarry thing, but it was done in an extreme case, as a last resort, and with medical supervision. It left no lasting efffects on the recipient. It DID SAVE THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT AMERICAN LIVES! Thank God, Barack Obama was not president at that time. However, I would like to think that even Obama would have done the same thing that the Bush administration did, if he had been in the same shoes. The problem here is, people take no heed in numbers of lives saved, but only those who have already died. --dc

God is the Word
Donald Cole at 10:28pm May 28 on Facebook.
Talking to Christians:
Yes. With God, we have no privacy, and that is a good thing. We do not want to grieve the Holy Spirit. (Eph. 4:30).
24/7 God consciousness is what I try for; God is in us and with us. Whatever we say or do, do all in the name of the Lord. To see and hear God, we need to be tuned in. Bill Williams certainly seems to be tuned in to the beautiful Word of God. When I am pondering something, I love it when God's Word, or a great sermon, or lesson, just pops into my head. I praise and thank God, because I know that I am not that smart, in my own limitations. What really amazes me, is realizing that it didn't come from any book that I had read. Think about the people who write good books. Where did the good thoughts or lessons come from?
God's Word is living! Our telephones have 10 digits, but see how many combinations can be derived from them. Whatever our circumstance or condition, God's Word has the answer. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1). --dc

Christianity is about Jesus Christ
Donald Cole May 28th, 2009 2:26 am ET
Pop — Christianity, and what people do, even in the name of Christianity, are often two different things. When I say Christianity, I am talking about what Jesus Christ taught, and did. Not only are two persons of the same sex not to have sexual relations together, –neither is a man and a woman to have sex together, who are not married to each other. Either way, it takes self control and can be frustrating. Will you trust God, or men? If you believe there is no God, you must be blind. If you believe that the Bible and science are at odds with each other, you are ill taught. If you care, you will seek, and if you seek you will find. Will you be forever lost? Will you grow old, without hope? If you die from Aids, or whatever, –don’t blame God. -dc

About same sex marriage in this country
Donald Cole My post on Larry King: May 27th, 2009 9:34 pm ET
We started way back by taking God out of our schools; teaching the big lie, saying that the Bible and science are at odds with each other. Now we have no qualms about taking God out of our country. This country was founded on Christian principles, and we have been deeply blessed. Now they want to throw it all in the toilet. Christians put your armour on! The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.

If you are a Christian, on what principles do you base your lifestyle?
Check out this interesting answer on Yedda
Are you a Christian? Are you a Christian? If so, on what principles do you base your lifestyle?
On the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Bible New Testament, God's new covenant to man, which was sealed forever by His blood on the cross. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Col. 3:17). --dc

The 'Rosies of Dover' story...
Don Draws a Crowd
Fun and Truth
Something missing in the 'Rosies of Dover' story...
Posted 5/26/2009 5:16 PM EDT on dailyrecord.com
This is astounding! The article is all about: "'Rosies of Dover' being honored..." --yet there are no photos, here among those printed, depicting this! When reading the article, one would expect to be able to look over and see a photo of these ladies, receiving their dozen red roses, and certificates. The Daily Record photographers --or is it a Daily Record photo editor-- really dropped the ball on this one! How unprofessional can you get? (gulp) --I really like reading and contributing to the Daily Record, and I hope they won't be too upset with me here. --dc
Well, that Don Cole guy is turning into quite a curmudgeon. Not everyone lives in a perfect world like he does, --Praise the Lord! Surely the DR photographers and editors must realize that the ideal format here would be to show a picture of the honored ladies that the article was about. However, with the limited printing space and budget cuts, who knows what goes on behind the scenes at the Daily Record?
Maybe it was too costly to insure that the DR would have a photographer present at the right place at the right time. Now, this is the day that we should all carry our own cameras, and take our own pictures, if we are going to do anything, or be involved, in anything of newsworthiness. --dc

How can we can know that Jesus was truly of God? Besides all the miracles and eye witnesses, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament laws of sin and death. Jesus himself became God’s perfect sacrificial lamb in atonement for our sins, in that we may be saved by the grace of God, through faith and not of our own works, lest any man should boast. For example, Matthew’s gospel shows how 17 prophecies from the Old Testament about Jesus being the Messiah have been fulfilled in the New Testament. It quotes numerous prophecies in Isaiah, Micah, Hosea, Psalms, Zechariah and Daniel. There is more that can be shown here from the Bible; but this should give you the heart of the answer you seek. "For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6: 10-11.) --dc
