Christians have always sought out guidance since before the 12th century.
Quoted message said:Adding up all the Baptist congregations in the USA they form the largest religious group. It's
called tyranny of the majority.
Its called doctrinally correct. Could it be that Baptists are fundamentalists and seek the truth
through scripture and is attractive to the Christian faith? Why do sincere Mtbers buy from a LBS
rather then Walmart?

How ignorant! How can you compare? The numbers speek for themself. A righteous Nation is
prevailing. We are in a just war and will win.
Quoted message said:There you go, I must be dark because I don't believe in myth and legend. Exactly the attitude
that this resolution encourages.
No no. Like I said before, things are more black and white then you
think.
Quoted message said:You are not dark, just in the dark. I was once in the dark and wondered about the light. I can now
see the light and try to stay away from darkness. What good can it bring?

I've followed this thread with increasing amounts of shock and awe, as well as hilarity. But, now I
have to tell you that you're just the kind of religious nutcase that puts the fear into freedom
loving people everywhere!
BTW, is that 75% of white judeao Christian America? And where do you get 75% from anyway? Is that
the same 75% who believe Iraq was responsible for the Twin Towers atrocity.?
Bush, and his sleazy governments' links to the Christian right and corrupt industrialists are ever
increasingly exposed by those media organisations which don't themselves have their own reasons for
supporting his government and their policies. More so since the war began in Iraq.
Pete Fagerlin is too kind in restricting his description of you as a 'thumper', a "righteous nation
prevailing" indeed! There's no need to subscribe to outlandish conspiracy theories about the
political Right in America to understand that a coup happened when the Supreme Court ruled for Bush,
and that Bush and the religious right are gradually eroding the American Constitution and hard won
individual rights. And clearly you are one of the 'crowd' who subscribe to religious hijacking of
the body politic, and Bush's warped political agenda.
It's people like you slavishly supporting Bush's dangerous policies out of some religious zeal that
have damaged some of the genuine goodwill and sympathy that many people around the world have for
America, particularly since 9/11, and have given just cause for the fear many in the Muslim world
have of 'Christian' America. Worse, you and those like you, in your attitudes and support for Bush
have managed to outrage and inflame moderates in the Muslim community around the world.
