Sidney, I commend you on your stand for Christian values. I personally believe that God is sovereign and all things, good and bad are used by God to bring his purposes to fruition in this world. God has raised up patriots, kings and Indian chiefs. We live in a free society today because we have strong deterrents and men who are willing to be brave and patriotic. Some of us must believe in God and Country to establish equal rights and freedom from oppression. Otherwise, we would not be speaking English but probably German or Japanese if no one stood up for country. I don't believe for a moment what you advocate would ever be what God desires or he would not have raised up all to be different. There are many religious fundamentalists who would actually force their will upon us to live again as we were once forced to live. Letting a religious ruler or king burn us at the stake or torture us if we tried to express ourselves as free men, able to find our own understanding of God's Word as led by the Holy Spirit. Do you advocate another King George and Catholicism? I think not. As I say I admire your stand but I believe that we must not become rigid as the Church once was. Christ was not rigid. He was very much a moderate. James
