He didn't trick or manipulate them. The ones that claimed they were true followers of Jesus Christ wouldn't have thrown the dart in the first place. If they thought they were followers but still threw the dart, they would have to think about how serious their faith was.
He gave a good lesson to show something that everyone should think about, not just christians![/QUOTE]everyone loses their cool once in a while, even christains. I know this ofr a fact being one myself, but I still dont like being manipulated... by anyone. thats one thing that you can guarentee to make me angry. I dont know about the rest of you tho, maybe some people enjoy being played for fools. Im not one of them. not that im implying that anyone else is here either, I hasten to add...

Why where you being manipulated?
The moral of the story(note: the moral of the story, not my own opinion) is that everyone who, like you, would feel manipulated are not true christians.

I don't understand why you feel they were tricked or being played for fools.

The teacher was illustrating a point, that when you strike out against others or hate them, you are in turn doing so to to Jesus as well.

Jesus feels all men and women are His children, even the ones who do evil or disbelieve in him. That's what was being demonstrated. It was not a trick...can't you see?

just think about it for a few moments. if someone tricked you into throwing drats at something, wouldnt you be angry. of course *I* wouldnt have throw any darts anyway. I dont mean to sound self-rightous, Im not. I hate that particualr trait in humans. all I'm sayisn is I dont like being manipluated, itt was an example of how go make me mad. thats all I was saying.

[Calaethis Dragonsbane]

oh never mind. It would take to long to explain why I think they were played for fools, and I'm really not in the mood to bother. Just accept that I dont like the guys methods, and we'll leave it at that, shall we?

I'm sorry Calaethis! I guess we both see this issue differently. I'll stop bothering you about. I understand how you feel about it and respect your opinion.
