You're sad when you're perpetually bogging down every thread you post on with sanctimonious Christian Nation moralizing, but that's life.

As I understand it , Ashcroft is a Pentecostal .... This intrigues me , as it is the focus of these congregations ( from Buddhist=Sangha) is to try and merge (so to speak) and seek the experience of the Epiphany(from Hindu=Samadhi) of the Apostles ? And to be filled with the Holy Spirit? As I understand this sect , the Pentecostals have rejected the belief of many fundamentalists that God had ceased to reveal himself to man... Like the Quakers , this sounds like one sect of Christianity that might be interesting to know more about . They are trying to awaken the "spirit" in America and an appeal to "faith"...it is not the most terrible of things , but didn't work out to well for Billy Graham with Nixon.<g> Bush is a Texas President obliging & seeking praise with the easiest constituency...but he has a very rough road ahead. Interesting to see how this plays out...the country is in very bad shape here , and could see a and "U" shaped recovery or a complete economic collapse and retest lows once again by next fall . Revivals in spirituality seem to come in cycles just before impending societal and economic upheavals...we are not out of this one yet. Ashcroft is a sign of the times...almost predictable.
