This isn't all that different from the Nicene Creed that Catholics recite every sunday....cept for the inclusion of the Bible as the "inerrant word of God". (that phrase scares the hell out of me) > So - even if you're into prayer - this day ain't for you if you're, say, a > Jew. Or Muslim. Or Hindu. Or Catholic. Why not Catholic? Catholics are Christians.....? Looks like you just need to believe in Christ's Divinity in order to be included with these nuts.....i mean.....believers.

Here's where the Evangelicals reveal themselves as the dangerous religious zealots......this belief that nations and states MUST be intertwined with their version of belief in God, in order to be successful. It is this belief that separates the normal, spiritual believer, from the dangerous religious nut bag. Considering that I may go out today and help the cause by persecuting some > believers. Be sure you are persecuting the right ones. Not all believers are zealots. -- Now my dreams are heavy things That are muddied by reality ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259483 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
