      From: jdjj2@msn.com              Larry........you are absolutely WRONG. For example, I am a Christian       Scientist, a peaceful Christian faith, with a beautiful, though,       non-traditional interpretation of 'some' scripture. Who are you, or       anyone, to impose the will of the state, on any church, or, religion?       Who made you God? If religions 'bicker', how is that your concern,       or, the concern of the state? We have Freedom of Religion in this       country. Churches 'bicker', because we interpret scripture       differently. That is our right, and our freedom. We also have a       separation of Church and State.......and both work. There is no need,       or call, for a 'State Church', or, state involvement in any curriculum,       or, teaching of any Christian, or, non-Christian faith. America was       founded, in part, by pilgrims seeking 'religious' freedom. We threw       off the King, and we threw off the Kings Church. We follow our hearts,       not just our minds. You, or, no one like you, can dictate to the       majority of people.......what our faith should be. When that day       comes, that will be the beginning of the end of the America we knew.                     Jack Johnson.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
