Replying to a message of Jeff Snyder to Bob Ackley:

 JS> On 05/02/09, Jeff Snyder quoted Bob Ackley: Abortion.

 BA>> So why do right wing Christians keep trying to pass laws based on
 BA>> their religious beliefs?  Note that Islamics seem to be having some
 BA>> success in

 JS> Because as King David said, "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and
 JS> all the nations that forget God". If Christians don't do something to
 JS> turn America around, and get the nation off of its anti-God this, and
 JS> anti-God that, track, the nation will eventually be destroyed; that's
 JS> why. If we turn our backs on God, He will eventually turn His back on
 JS> us as well; and if you don't know what the consequences are of doing
 JS> that, just study the long tragic history of the Israelite nation.

 BA>> If religion does have such a place, why does the religion have to be
 BA>> Christianity?  Why can't it be Santeria or the religion the Aztecs


 JS> The answer to this question is best understood by studying the core
 JS> tenet of the Christian faith. Do you know what it is? Do you
 JS> understand it?

In short, yes and yes.  I graduated from the parochial school system and hold
a bachelor's degree from a Catholic college - although my major was not religion.
Continuing this discussion in this echo is going to rapidly get off topic and, quite
frankly I'm not interested in discussing it anyway.
