At last, some sanity on the Religion Forum. It is good to remember that God has chosen a PEOPLE, not a Nation. i am so sick of the "God is a Republican, and Rush Limbaugh is His Prophet" crowd spouting off their nonsense, that i thought Christianity was doomed to become Nationalism in God's name

I am also tired of people using the simplified "Good vs. Evil" comparison, in which the U.S. symbolizes ultimate good and (fill in name of current enemy) symbolizes ultimate evil. They seem to forget that we're talking about earthly politics and earthly governments.

[lockeliberty]

the failure of Christians over the centuries to recognize their military engagements as purely secular affairs and their confusion of earthly empires with the kingdom of God have ended up taking with the left hand what was given with the right.

I think this needs to be emphasised. I think we are on opposite sides on the necessity of this war but I doubt we are on opposite sides in regards to how the Kingdom of God is seperate from secular govermments.

Amen, brother!

I'm good friends with several Canadians, and that is one of the major shortcomings they see in American Christians.

If you didn't have voices like Rush, you would have had Al Gore for youdr president today!

After 911 you would have had the Likes of an Albright and anothers trying to understand Saddam and OBL for them being upset with us!

There would be no homeland security etc.

It is amazing people are never thankful for whatever instrument the Lord uses to get the job done.

Maybe in the furture the Lord should get your approval for who is to facilitate the Lord mission.
