The Tangoterje track is great!! I also love I can't help it. Does he have any other hot tracks? By the way, the track seems to abruptly end. Was that intentional?

Thanks!

When Jesus said the Pharisees swallowed a camel He was teaching a spiritual lesson. It may have been parody. But He didn't say the next day, "I was only joking yesterday." His listeners understood immediately what he meant when he said it. This statement of Jesus may defend parody, but it does not defend bearing false witness. There is a difference.
Second, the proverb I used was an application of biblical counsel to a particular behavior - deception (not parody). It was an admonition with no commentary. There was no proof texting.
Third, your use of the word "pitiful" is derisive, and, therefore, an attempt at manipulation rather than real dialogue. Real dialogue is too often compromised when one person, perhaps offended, disagrees with another. I admire the person who can show respect to someone with whom he disagrees.

Proverb 26:18-19 NIV
Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows is a man who deceives his neighbor and says,"I was only joking!"
