Somehow I doubt Osama Bin Laden will repent and convert.
Anything is possible of course.

However - in many ways it seems this message was not really a message of love, is it. It seems pretty unloving. Honest, but not very respectful.

I really don't think that video will convert Osama bin Laden, Gadan, or anyone else. I also didn't like his remark about Mitt Romney. "A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for Satan." Bill Keller got his degree from Liberty University, which was started by Jerry Falwell. That says it all.

Is attack on bin Laden or the religion of Islam? Both?

Why attack a religion on the basis of the horrible acts of some of its followers?

Is tit-for-tat the answer?

My dial-up connection is too slow to play the video, but the general idea of a video seems good to me. It's really consistent with our ideas of free expression - pretty much without violence in this case, too.

Yeah. But consider this...

Did Paul tell the people of Athens that their gods were vile lies in this way? No. While it is obvious that they were, Paul approached the Athenians with respect. He did not mock them like this guy mocks his countryman. And I don't think we should mock others. Not even if they worship Elvis, or the easter bunny.

Well, although its extremely doubtful, hopefully Bin Laden will repent and convert.

shouldnt there be such thing as the unsalvagable? Can a mass murderer come to jesus on his deathbed and get into heaven? his only redeeming quality was a good sense of timing. If an atheist who spends his life as a doctor, saving people's lives, goes to hell for not accepting jesus then a sick genocidal maniac like osama shouldnt get access to heaven either.

There are no unsalvagables. Before you die, if you repent and accept Jesus Christ as the son of God, the Messiah, then you will be forgiven by God for your sins. That is what we believe.

Love it. Lead a hate filled life, accept JC in the end, get your ticket to heaven. Some pretty 'good' company will be waiting for you.

Osama the goat lover will be thrilled to hear this guy. Good for the Televangelist. Osama needs to hear that someone else thinks he is bound for hell.

no-one chooses the time or place of their deaths. It's likely you wont get the chance to repent though.
I know many who think that way. "I'll drink, smoke, drive like a maniac have sex with as many as possible. Then when I'm 80 and on my death bed I'll convert just to be sure."
I doubt they will convert. If they do, great! But they missed out on a better life while they were here.

The televangelist is not talking to Osama. He's talking to the American public.

Here's the catch... You can't fake it.

Doesn't sound at all like the justice system down here, huh?

You raise a valid point of course. I just think it's messed up when people use church as a excuse to act however they want. So many people I know think they can do whatever they want, because as long as they go to church on Sunday, they are in the clear. Don't take this as directed only at religion, because I know people come up with plenty of other ways to justify acting like an idiot other then religion. It's just annoying to deal with.

Ha ha, looks like I'm not off the hook after all.

Didn't sound that way to me.
