then we know where 0 stands in regard to Christianity.

Based on some of the things he has said, and several things he has actually done or advocated doing, over the past 4-1/2 years I'm pretty sure I know where he really stands in re true BIBLICAL Christianity as opposed to the muddled, non-biblical, skin-deep version that is fast becoming popular with the younger set of Americans today. I have read or heard some people say that Christians shouldn't question the authenticity of another person's Christianity. However, I haven't found that prohibition anywhere in the bible and I have read it all the way through several times in recent years. Maybe I missed it somehow, if so someone please tell me where I can find it.

I find it very hard to believe that a born again Christian (there isn't any other kind) would approve and protect a spurious "right" that allows the legalized murder of more than 1,000,000 helpless unborn human beings each year in the US alone (50+ million since 1973). Nor can I believe that a bona fide Christian who believes the Bible is God's infallible Holy Word will claim that the practice of homosexual depravity is NOT condemned in that bible as sin. Anyone who claims that the actual PRACTICE of homosexual depravity isn't condemned in holy scripture apparently hasn't read the 1st chapter of Paul's letter to the Roman Christians. Nor has he/she read the account of God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (sp?) because of the flagrant homosexual depravity of the men, and possibly the women as well, of those cities. There are more references to homosexual acts as sin, but those two are probably the most indicative of God's disapproval of that vile practice.

I don't know how or when God will punish our post-Christian era nation for allowing those crimes against both humanity and His law to be legally practiced. But there are many American Christians who say that He will have to apologize to the people of Sodom if He doesn't punish the US for that same sin. I don't wholly agree with that idea, because God doesn't HAVE TO do anything except to be true to His holy, perfect, sinless character. But OTOH I don't doubt for a NY minute that he will punish the US severely unless we as a nation return to living in accord with the Godly, biblical, moral principles that guided the predominately devout Christian founders and law makers of our nation 2+ centuries ago.

+ 1 to that. When I see young “hip” Christians going to church to see concerts and be a member of the “social club” but ignore the obvious like opening a door for a wheelchair bound person or failing to stop to help someone when they need help it makes my blood boil a little. On the other hand it really makes me feel good to feel a little hope for this next generation when I do see random acts of kindness they do. And then to top it off I realize what a mess I was and I know their just going down the same path...: )
