<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>~ NEVER. NOT</strong> once. A crying baby during a sermon is aggravating, but those parents made the effort, and they are welcome, too.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once in a while I&#8217;d pause the preachment, and quip</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">&#8220;Looks like someone wants to preach!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">or</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">&#8220;I think we have a new choir member in the house!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">or</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">&#8220;You dislike the sermon? Me too!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parents&#8211; comforted. Irritated people&#8211; reminded that we want young people. Congregation&#8211; babies belong, too.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Telling an infant to shut up in a public setting is an unspeakably rude, imperious, snarky &amp; humiliating thing to do to the parents. But we know that such Communist characters as Mr. Sanders only love &#8220;The People&#8221; in abstract.. actual humans are an inconvenience to their high &amp; lonely destiny, and their glorious plans.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">FFS, Bern, who do you REALLY think you are? Oh, right&#8230; <a href="https://medium.com/@RoyDelfino/ten-reasons-why-bernie-sanders-must-be-stopped-5e0f31a37c67" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rich &amp; ill-tempered future dictator of USSRmerica</a>. Whole crowds will be swept off to the gulags, including all the babies counter-revolutionary enough to interfere with the oracles of pure truth which drop from your thin &amp; angry lips. You show us in this little instance who you really are under the faux-folksy wise &#8220;Grampa Bern&#8221; shtick by which you fool.. very few.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Contrast this with Jesus, the incarnate Word Himself, who said &#8220;Let the little children come unto me, and forbid them not. For such are of the Kingdom of God.&#8221; ~</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Thus saith,</p>
<h1 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#993300;"><em>Teh Binks</em></span></h1>
