You go be martyrs while I hide safely, OK?
I haven't posted anything on Sunday for awhile, but I thought I'd break the pattern today with a comment on the Osama bin Laden video that showed up recently. It's pretty easy for a guy who's been in on the run and in hiding for years to cheer other people on to get out there and make themselves availble as martyrs. If it's so important to be bold and charge right in there toward martyrdom, he's certainly not very good at following his faith to its ultimate end. That whole "path to glory" route he parades before others is apparently based on a theology that goes something like, "Don't do as I do. Do as I tell you."
