Actually Mr. Simon, the ACLU has defended the rights of Neo Nazis to protest and march. LINDA, the issue with Ms. Fields is that she chooses to focus on "the media destroying Christianity" or liberals doing the same, while ignoring the Bible's instructions on how to live, say, the not judging people part, for example. Harriet was rejected because she had little to no qualifications to serve on the SCOTUS. Telll me what legal expertise she had if you disagree with me. FWIW: I disagree with the Christian Coalition &c., because I am a Catholic and see very little harmony between Vatican dogma and CC et al. “[if it weren't for the ACLU]there would still be a whole lot more Anti-Semitism in this country.”

Some Christians seek power above all else (so do plenty of non-Christians). However, when you seek power rather than seeking to do good things, you get yourself into bad situations, and you end up doing things contrary to your professed beliefs. Will,

Otherwise, it will be a crime to say Merry Christmas or a crime to hand out Christian literature in the public. There are active groups right now trying to make it where Christians should only practice Christianity in their own home. Absurd, you say, Will, well it is like that in Canada right now!

No offense, Will, but I do see that in your writing. And that is why you are so well received by so many on this blog. You show me in the KJV of the Holy Bible where Jesus altered the scriptures to appease those whom he preached to. I commend you for writing a history of religion in the South, but it is not the place of a politican to change anything which the Lord commands.

Jesus says in the Gospels that he came with a sword to divide. If Christians continue to become appeasers, then those against Christianity will continue to take a mile for every inch given. There is no basis for Christians to be a door mat for any other people that do not want to follow that which the Lord commands. It is all or nothing. I, as a Christian, cannot be without sin. But I do know that it is a sin to violate the ten commandments. I have divorced and remarried, but I have prayed for forgiveness. Homosexuality is a sin, and I am not going to bend my ways about that to be talked about as being normal because it is not! Tolerance ends when it attempts to bring down Christianity and to shove us out of society. Watering down the scriptures will not get you into heaven! You can't be a Christian behind the walls of your home and on church on Sunday, and then be a typical heathen the rest of the week. It does not work that way. Defnotrep,

Tolerance ends when it attempts to bring down Christianity and to shove us out of society. Watering down the scriptures will not get you into heaven! You can’t be a Christian behind the walls of your home and on church on Sunday, and then be a typical heathen the rest of the week. It does not work that way.

I thought it would be more like the diatribe Linda does. I am so glad that I did. I think you said everything perfectly. All religions incluing Christians need to set a better example as human beings by showing love and tolerance. Will,

I am going to have it to hand down to my children and grandchildren. Good posts, JSM.

All I'm trying to do is stand up against attacks I see against Christianity. I haven't attacked any other religion. I still think you're reading a little too deep. Bill,

You see there is a difference between self-righteousness and righteousness. We have to try hard everyday to break that mirror of self-righteousness, borrowed from Pastor Franklin at Mabel White Baptist Church in Macon, as he had a whole sermon series on just that which was breaking the mirror of me, myself and I.

I am not judging you, you told me that you were a loner. You can have a girlfriend or a wife, and still be lukewarm with Christ. My husband is like you, and he does not have the same spirituality that I have. I read the Bible regularly and I take the word as the blueprint for life. Go back and reread your comment if you can as if you are me or someone else reading it, and see if you were trying to tell someone that you are drifting as a loner in life.

It is a spiritually beautiful dream, but it will never happen in the United States until the Second Coming if we survive that long. But someday the Christians will be called home, and the rest of the world will be as the Bible says "gnashing their teeth..." and recalling the days of yesteryear when there were Christians warning of the times to come.
