This is, again, an item on which we seem to agree a great deal. However, our disagreement, while related to this, is in another area. I do not think these things are happening under this adminstration and you do. Therein lies our point(s) of contention. Getting back to those words penned by Lehaye, we are all charged with "The Great Commission" which is to spread the good news of Jesus' return. Further, we are to happily serve others. I see nothing wrong with those ideas. Even if they are Christian based there is nothing wrong with living a life in accordance with those principals. It is not forced Christian Education as you fear. It is not being locked in a room and listening to 100 people witness to you in order to save you, or it is not the act of witnessing to others who may not care. I don't see these things being laid on Society as a law, like you fear. Again, to prove your points, you take small subsets of extreme cases and state them as the general rule. Abortion right now is much, much more widespread than cases of rape or incest. So your argument really on took a very small sampling of the actual circumstances. Birth control should absolutely be available. I don't think Christianity in the US will threaten other religions. You know, like when you go to Saudi and they throw your Bibles on the floor, or China where Chrisitans are locked up simply for meeting and discussing Jesus. You see our country is excellent when it comes to religious tolerance. Again, your side pursues extreme statements to generate fear amongst those who may end up out of favor with your imagined "law of the land." This is where we disagree most, that is, what is actually happening in the US in regards to these matters.
