DCF AS always, thank you for a very honest and straight forward answer. I appreciate your strength in posting what you believe on a very controversial issue(s). I dont know anything about PK, so it would be immensely unfair for me to comment on them. I dont know anything about NOW's position on homosexuality either. Obviously homosexuality is a sexual inclination and not a race. I dont believe it is a sin either. Abortion is a whole other issue. I think it is a womens choice and perogative, but certainly dont want to open that can of worms here. (we would go from 500 posts a weekend to 5,000 :-) ) I hope you dont get flamed for your posts. they are your opinions and you are certainly entitled to them. Just as I am entitled to my opposing opinion. Mark

THE CRITICS SPEAK ABOUT YESHUA H. L. Mencken. It was Mencken who covered the Scopes trial for the New York Times. Even though the evolutionists lost in the courtroom, Meneken's writings led to a victory in the court of public opinion. In writing about the trial, Mencken dipped his pen in acid when it came to discussing Christians and Christianity Yet in 1930 when he wrote a work entitled 'Treatise on the Gods," Mencken said this: This historicity of Jesus is no longer questioned seriously by anyone, whether Christian or unbeliever. So when I tell you it's not questioned by historians and skeptics, here is a famous skeptic telling you that it is no longer questioned seriously by anyone, whether Christian or unbeliever. The main facts about Him seem to be beyond dispute.... It is not easy to account for his singular and stupendous success. How did it come about that one who in his life had only the bitter cup of contumely to drink should have lifted himself in death to such vast esteem and circumstance, such incomparable and world-shaking power and renown. Unless the whole New Testament is to be rejected as moonshine. It seems to be certain that many persons saw him after his supposed death on the cross, including not a few who were violently disinclined to believe in his resurrection. Upon that theory, the most civilized section of the human race has erected a structure of ideas and practices so vast in scope and so powerful in effect that the whole range of history shows nothing parallel.
