Sometimes You Have to Protect Your Soul

When a 66-year-old Seattle woman changed the channel of the television in the common room of an assisted living complex because she wanted to watch a religious program, she was challenged by another woman, a resident of the complex in her early sixties, who eventually grabbed a six-inch kitchen knife and stabbed the channel-switcher in the abdomen. Before we rush to judgment in the criminal courts of King County, Washington, let us consider the Christian points of view. The woman did not ask permission to change the channel (bad), but she was trying to get closer to God (good). The attacker resorted to violence (bad), but the woman may have been watching Paul and Jan Crouch, in which case the charges should be dropped.
