You are free to feel as you wish. I was pointing out the fact that it is assumed she is simple minded, stupid, idiotic, etc. for believing differently than you. NOBODY said WOE IS ME... you give me a break.
Is it not possible for someone to believe in God and not be mentally retarded, slow, stupid, simple minded, etc.? Does that choice alone make all of their other choices stupid?
That is what I was addressing. I was in no way falling on the sword of Christianity and martyrdom. I don't lose sleep because others don't believe like I do... I do get curious as to why some feel that believing in God makes everything you do after that stupid and or meaningless. It's a belief. Not a mental illness.
Someone who stands in the halls of congress screaming about freemasonry etc has lost their grip on reality.... That behavior has nothing to do with how God speaks through people...
And that is not knocking Christianity or Christians... because it has nothing to do with Christians, it has to do with one poor woman... I do feel sorry for her.

I praise God for their pluck and courage regardless of how seemingly misguided, off the wall and futile.
Folks will ponder the issues involved JUST BECAUSE she was so brazenly off the wall.
God is not limited in who HE can use.
Carpe Diem = Seize the Day?
Not exactly, let's investigate.
Carpe means =
carpo
pluck, carp, enjoy, pick, split, pick off
carpa = carp the fish.
PIE *kerp- "to gather, pluck, harvest" (see harvest (n.)).
dies
day, time, timespan, space of time, lifetime, day-time
Deus Divus
God, Deity, Spirit
Harvest Time
Pluck the Day
Split God
Carpe Diem = Janus
Janus is the God of Archways (Arc) and passages, the Carp.
The "Split Dies-Day", Sun Moon cycle and all that.
January the Alpha and Omega.
Zeus
supreme god of the ancient Greeks, 1706, from Greek, from PIE *dewos- "god" (cf. Latin deus "god," Old Persian daiva- "demon, evil god," Old Church Slavonic deivai, Sanskrit deva-), from root *dyeu- "to gleam, to shine;" also the root of words for "sky" and "day" (see diurnal). The god-sense is originally "shining," but "whether as originally sun-god or as lightener" is not now clear.
harvest (n.)
Old English hærfest "autumn, period between August and November," from Proto-Germanic *harbitas (cf. Old Saxon hervist, Old Frisian and Dutch herfst, German Herbst "autumn," Old Norse haust "harvest"), from PIE *kerp- "to gather, pluck, harvest" (cf. Sanskrit krpana- "sword," krpani "shears;" Greek karpos "fruit," karpizomai "make harvest of;" Latin carpere "to cut, divide, pluck;" Lithuanian kerpu "cut;" Middle Irish cerbaim "cut").

Kinda shocked they didn't bring in the D.C. fuzz to shoot her... just sayin'!
Eww, too soon.
My only take away was clip reminded me of a scene from The Devils Advocate where Keanu's stage mom goes on some holy rant in the elevator. Not passing judgement but not seeing anything here that is really noteworthy.
Plus you have code pink and others out there disrupting #, why is this different? Because she said God and Freemasonry in one sentence? That really isn't saying much....
Of course, I do like the two masters part. Maybe she should have said 3 masters. That would cover Israel too!

God can use anyone or anything to His advantage when He so chooses. That speaks on the power of God and nothing else.
I am not certain what you mean by 'you' extending her grace, if you mean a merciful attitude toward her then yes, we should have that... but it does not mean she did not go off the reservation mentally... Let's face it, she snapped.
Everything was all too much for her to take and she snapped. For that, I feel very sorry for her.
Galatians 3:26
New International Version
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
New Living Translation
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
English Standard Version
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
John 3:16
New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I am a religious and spiritual woman and what that woman did was nuts and yes, she needs some help.
When you are a true person of God, you do not have to scream to people about your belief and faith, its part of you and speaks silently to those around you. Am I one of these people? No, but I wish I was.
I have been around a couple people in my life who God simply shined through, He was in their actions, He was in their behavior in times of great adversity... they did not need to "preach" to anyone about God or speak His Name, you just knew... hey, that person has something I neeeed... I wonder what that is? And people ask....
Someone who stands in the halls of congress screaming about freemasonry etc has lost their grip on reality.... That behavior has nothing to do with how God speaks through people...
And that is not knocking Christianity or Christians... because it has nothing to do with Christians, it has to do with one poor woman... I do feel sorry for her.
Galatians 3:26-29
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Luke 19:10
