This morning.

I have my watch set to display the time in Rome in addition to CDT. When I woke up this morning it was 2:21pm in Rome. Out of curiosity I decided to see what came back when I did a search for Romans 2:21, it was this;

"thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?"

Quite interesting. I think it's basically saying don't be one of those "....do as I say, not as I do..." types. Maybe some right wingers who say they're Christians should think about that?

The chapter goes, v 22-23, "You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you not rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?" NIV

Right wing christians really oughta read their Bibles more, IMHO.

They love to get up on their high horses about the Old T all the time, but ignore the New T.
