"IMHO, it is so Clinton can be VANQUISHED by the Righteous!! Can there be any other reason for Der SchleekMeister's existence other than to see him DRAMATICALLY felled by the Goodness that is the essence of the Great American Experiment?! I think not...MUD""Interesting. But we do not know the will of God. There can be reasons completely unknown to us."
Just outta curiosity, if God is indeed Good, wouldn't he be 100% behind bringing a LawlessTyrant like Clinton to Justice?! What other "...reasons completely unknown to us" could there be for allowing Slick Willie to go unpunished and thereby setting a precedent that American Presidents are above and beyond the Laws of this Country?

God believes in justice on Earth. It's not perfect and it's not heavenly justice. But he approves of righteousness. There's lots of biblical passages that say so. Believers are even cautioned to obey the just rule of human rulers. But believers also know that there will never be perfect justice on Earth, there will always be evil, that the world will never completely turn to Christianity. The great unity and perfection exists only in there hereafter. (I like this about Christianity -- it's not like a religious cult where you're promised perfect happiness in the hear and now if you believe and obey. You're just given a foretaste through your communion with and praise of God of an afterlife of worshipping God.)
There are things God approves of and things He does not. I think he would approve of the just punishment of wrongdoers. I believe Clinton should have been prosecuted. My only point is that Lord knows -- and I mean that literally -- why he hasn't been. Lord knows. So that was a limited point -- that God's not all about making sure everything's perfect on Earth -- that's not his Plan. We are fallen and evil abides here. He wants us to try to prosper and be happy, of course.
