- Your post made me semi-curious Peter. This power to determine who is
- or isn't a true Christian, where did it come from? Were you born with
- this power or did you develop it over the years? Did your god grant
- it to you or did you have to take classes? It seems like a mighty
- strong power, did they teach you to be cautious with it at all, or are
- you suppose to go out and use it whenever you feel it is appropriate?
-
- One other comment about your much too long post:
-
- >Ms. Campbell's words are doubly misleading because they give the
- >impression that Bush is trying to "harness" God in pursuit of traditional
- >family values, rather than acknowledging that, at least in this, he is
- >making a sincere effort to follow what he sincerely sees as divine values.
-
- Are you really this gullible? Do you see any other potential incentive
- for Bush to push his family value agenda other than sincerity?
