wood_stones: So, he's in Sudan, lying to all the children about the Sky Wizard? Did I just capitalize sky wizard?!

How exactly does that make him a badass?

or, hardened criminal looks to next big score.

Athiest, agnostic, whatever - whenever someone is introspective enough to find means to refix their resolve toward helping others, toward reaching out - extending themselves and at least (succeed or fail) attempt to better themselves and others - I make a very humbling recognition toward those efforts. I only wish I could find means to channel some/most of myself in similar manners. It's got to be an incredibly ballsy move, etc - but I so wish I could contribute, or otherwise allocate my life's purpose to accomplish such things.

God bless and nothing but quality props to him/them/all of those out there that don't just yap about 'the walk' - but those that 'walk the walk'. You are all quality humans and I pray I can find the same resolve towards the betterment of others.

Do you people not understand how incredibly tiresome you are?

Machine Gun Preacher.

I wish I had a cool moniker.

All any one calls me is Fat Old Broad.

The sweetest most soft-spoken and devout Catholic priest I ever knew, a guy who was a dead ringer for Kris Kringle in "Miracle on 43th street"; had been a CIA counter-intelligence officer. It rarely came up but when it did, you were reminded of just how interesting a guy this cat really was.


For example, when a parishioner's husband was kidnapped in Columbia, by one of the kidnapping cartels that operated down there in the 90's; he was able to make a half-dozen phone calls and suddenly the guy was released, unharmed, with an apology.

Maybe, it's the result of being educated by the order of priests who jokingly call themselves "God's Marines", but I personally don't see any contradiction between being a devout Christian, and righting certain wrongs by force of arms when necessary. Even Jesus resorted to violence when he felt it was necessary to correct a grave injustice. To be sure it must be a LAST resort, but sometimes it is necessary to do a small evil to prevent a larger one, and putting one between the eyes of an LRA member who was trying to murder a child, or force a child to murder their parents certainly qualifies as one of those times in my book.

In fact, as I see it, that person took their lives into their own hands when they tried to murder another person, and the guilt of their death is on their own hands not the person who stops them

I thought they already made a movie about this guy:

"I believe in freedom. Jesus Christ was all about freedom. So what I'm saying is, I fight for that freedom. I am a freedom fighter, but me and my family, we choose to serve Jesus Christ," he declares.

There's no religious test to get into his orphanage or feeding programs, he says.

"We feed about 3,500 meals a day right now. I've never asked a child, 'Are you Christian or are you Muslim?' Never will," he insists.

That's true Christianity and something I can get behind.

Is it wrong that I want to know how much money he made? I mean, come on! Save people blah blah self-sacrifice blah blah thought of others derp....DID HE GET RICH? That would make me actually respect him. What does he drive? How many sq. ft. is his house?
