Or more importantly, how many claim to, but really only believe it's literal when it fits what they want to hear.

Just out of curiosity, would you "lose a lot of respect" for the school if they allowed someone who was in favor of the Death Penalty to speak at the school?

I think in the bible it does read "an eye for an eye"

Knights of Colombus that was a horrible retort.

Im sure you are well-intentioned, but this is just
an awful response. The Pope would seriously
have to slap you. Eye for an eye...

Im sorry for my lack of sensitivity.
You gotta have a better answer than this.

Quick thoughts:
He is the President of the US. Though I disagree with the vast majority of his agenda, I doubt his commencement speech will be about controversial topics like abortion. if we only dealt with those we agreed with we would be an extremely disenlightened society. Protesting because of his stance on issues is not only disrespectful of the Office but is wrong.

Who the hell isnt so hung over or still drunk at the commencement that they can actually remember who spoke or what they said anyway?

Will he bring the telepromter?
