Rev. David Berman of the Christian Life Fellowship church in Swanzey was on Main St. in Keene today where he spotted Robin Hood’s Merry Men saving people from parking tickets.
Despite allegedly being “Christian”, meaning one who is supposed to emulate Christ, Berman proceeds to hurl insults at the heroic Merry Men. Idiots, jerks, knuckleheads – are the terms Berman used to describe the productive, intelligent young men. Here’s the video, from Berman’s perspective:
The Merry Men could have made a better defense of their craft. They could have said, “We make money from people who are happy with our services – what do pastors do?”
Nonetheless, Berman makes it clear that he doesn’t really understand Jesus’ teachings about loving one’s enemy or being of peace.
Not only that, a quick look at the rest of his YouTube channel shows that Berman has a video where he warns his viewers that “Tyranny is here!” and exhorts they “wake up”. I submit that the Reverend is still asleep himself.
The parking enforcers are the ones harassing people – innocent people who just wanted to go shopping or do some business downtown. Robin Hood and the Merry Men are doing good work saving people, and the donations that roll in every week are part of the proof.
