An introduction

This is my first entry into my blog so I felt it necessary and respectful to give you some of my background. My name is Don Trippe. I've been married for 36 years, we have two grown and gone sons, and we live in the North Georgia mountains. I have worked in the coffee industry for nearly 21 years, and my wife is a retired government (public) school teacher. I have never run for political office, and have no intention to do so. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat, and I think the Libertarian party is filled with a bunch of kooks; just look at who they are running in this presidential election. But above all, I am a Christian.

In my blog space, I hope to include a look at what is going on in America through the test of the Bible. I believe that the Bible is the greatest book of all times, and is filled with life instructions and truth. One evidence of that is the book of Proverbs; every moral law in every country in the world can be found in that book. You may see me refer to this book as the "Book of Common Sense".

Also, I will be attacking the apostasy that is taking place in many of our churches today. Some denominations are currently in the process of rewriting the Scriptures through their internal political structures. As I find out about these churches, I will call them to task. I love people, but I am not here to make friends by compromising my beliefs.

My plan is to write in my blog at least once a week. I welcome your opinions, but don't expect me to always agree with you. I cherish instructive criticism, but "I hope you choke on your own vomit" will not get any traction with me. So, onward and upward from here. My first "real" entry will appear later this week, and it will be a re-run of something I sent out to people in my address book two weeks ago. I hope you will find some of my opinions interesting and helpful.

Don, I just want you to know that you are a copy cat!!! Always have been!!! I just know that you were reading my mind the other day when I was contemplating starting my own blog, and was trying to come up with a name for it. What do you think about "Life and Love"?

The Bible isn't that good of a book, really.

The bible is pretty much a collection of some good advice, and a whole lot of completely erroneous and outdated bullshit.

Anyone who interprets such a ridiculous allegory literally should be chemically castrated, so as not to spread the stupid gene.

OMG! The Bible is a Brilliant work of fiction.
What names are you considering for your Cult? Perhaps something flowery and peaceful, or something Dark and deceptive?

Came here to tell you that your blog sucks and you're a horrible person, but I actually agree with you on one thing: libertarians really are a bunch of kooks. You're still a worthless excuse for a human being though.

Christianity: the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a woman made from a rib was convinced by a talking snake to eat fruit from a magical tree...yeah makes perfect sense.

In Soviet Russia, blog posts you!

Just kidding.

No, not really. Did you know that once Obama becomes President he will invite former members of the Soviet Parliament to take positions within his cabinet? His father was not "Kenyan" but rather a resident of "Kenyaniski" located on the lovely shores of the Eastern Black Sea. He was the only black person in the Ukraine SSR at the time.
By the time his first presidency would end we will all be wearing politkas and eating borscht.

How do you account for the magic, sex, violence and unicorns described in the Bible?

We've had it scientifically analysed and it reads like the ramblings of a drunken horse!

Seriously, how does anyone over the age of six take it seriously?r

Don, if the world were to function as you want it to it would crash and burn in a matter of weeks. One guy tried this once and he ended up starting this whole big problem where he killed millions and millions died trying to stop him, and he ended up dying anyway. Learn from his mistakes.

Don't let those goons get you down. They're just jealous because you are one of God's chosen ones. You have the right way of mind; don't let logic or reason get in the way of your faith!
