I post this especially for his last remarks to me. No, Dawood, Christians are neither beheading muslims nor otherwise doing the horrific things muslims do to Christians and anybody not accepting the islamic religion. They even kill their own to get at us, their avowed enemies. I guess I just fail to capitalize their formal noun descriptions.

The Christian Nation (American Sanctity)

- Dave, you are something else!None were perfect other than the Christ you speak of in the end.American poll results of 86-14 believe there is a God.Have you encountered something better in your Middle East travels.I don’t recall hearing you mention the better if you did.Please send me an excerpt of your book, good friend.I honestly find kinder and gentler among Christian friends.I never hear them saying things such as you exaggerate herein.Are there any kinder than our mutual friend, Rick?Sam
- Since no one was/is perfect except Jesus, Christians can justify outright bigotry and neglect of their fellow man.I tire of that excuse coming from the mouths of Christians. That’s what I hear.The other beautiful excuse is “hate the sin, not the sinner.” It makes no difference if your hatred is directed at the person doing the sin.Back in the 70s, I remember preachers and other religious folks coming out saying that mixed race marriages were against God’s law. I remember “good” Christians ranting on about it.This blog post is based on things that people have actually said to me. The words are right out of the mouths of others.You bring up the fact that I’ve been in other countries. Muslim countries. OK. Yes, I have. You ask if I’ve encountered anything differently or better. Is that the standard by which America should judge itself. Do you think that we should only strive to be better than Muslims or that our leadership should only strive to be better than Muslims leaders?That doesn’t make a lot of sense.Not ever the Muslims have that weak a standard.I thought the standard was the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. For Christians, I’d think you could add the example of the life of Jesus.Too many Christians concentrate on the old testament and the negative spirit therein. What does Jesus say about our world. I don’t think he says that we should kick the needy or beat up on Homosexuals or keep Black people down or send people seeking a better life back to that place from where they came.If your standard is “be better than the Muslims” or “do as well as the Muslims,” I suppose we’re doing an ok job. We aren’t hanging them from street poles. Yet.If you’re standard is Christ, then America is doing a piss poor job. PISS POOR!This is my opinion. You are entitled to yours as well.
