I thank God for all the technical expertise on this reflector, I am not
offended, I feel ashamed that I haven't contributed any of my knowledge,
let's take a look at reality and just be thankful we have technical people
that believe in God and be thankful for those that don't. I think God would
say "that's Okay"..... Jerry W9FS

I am deeply offended by this. No, not the mention that we should take time
out for God. I am offended by the barrage of tirades assaulting Lee for
daring to mention God. 

Lee, good for you! 

Everyone who is a Christian should be a light in their community, drawing
men to Jesus. Oh no - I mentioned Jesus. I guess I will get a box full of
email telling me how offensive I am. Perhaps if I mentioned Buddha or
Mohammad, I would be ok. But I dared to mention Jesus. Folks, if you live in
the United States, you are living in a distinctively CHRISTIAN NATION. Get
over the PC garbage that has polluted and is destroying our GREAT CHRISTIAN
NATION. The United States is, after all, ONE NATION UNDER GOD. When our
fathers founded this country, it was not founded on some nebulous supreme
being, it was founded by Christians who were escaping religious persecution.
They came to the New World because they wanted to freely worship Jesus. The
original colonists as well as those who wrote the foundational documents of
this country knew JESUS CHRIST as their personal LORD and SAVIOUR. To them,
the name JESUS CHRIST was a name with power, a name to be honored and
revered. The name of Jesus was not offensive and was certainly not a swear
word to them. 

Some believe that if we call ourselves a Christian nation, we are forcing
Christ on all people. Nothing could be farther from the truth. As
Christians, who acknowledge the Bible as their final authority, we must
admit that all people have a free will. If someone decides to follow another
religion, that is their prerogative, their choice. There is no reason to be
offended by that. 

It is sad to see such replies from what I thought was basically a good group
of people. We can peaceably disagree on doctrine, denomination and even
politics. That is our RIGHT as citizens. However, when one person is
vilified for his willingness to ask you to take a moment out for God,
regardless of who you may call God, there is a serious problem. The problem
is not with Lee, the problem is with all of you who are persecuting him (and
I suppose, now, me). 

Now, for what I am sure will be the final straw for some of you. I shall
quote some Scripture.
John 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is
written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
They hated Jesus without cause. What was Jesus here for? To sacrifice
Himself to save mankind from their sins. There was no reason for them to
hate Jesus. He came to save us all. If I were to run headlong into a burning
building to rescue someone from the fire, I would be lauded as a hero. If I
should happen to get a little burn, the accolades would be greater. Jesus
was God in the flesh. As God, who cannot sin, He took the all the sins of
all the world upon Him. Imagine the guilt you would hopefully feel if you
murdered an innocent child. Aside from the physical torture He endured in
the process of the crucifixion, Jesus took all that guilt of all our sins
upon Himself for us. Where are His accolades? Why is He not a hero among
you? 

If you would like to discuss this with me, please email me directly.
