You're right that I'm excusing behavior which I disapprove of, but it's for the greater good, since compromise is unavoidable in politics. Let me ask you a question then: Is God Lord over politics or does His sovereignty end at the White House door? I can tell you what George Washington had to say about that - he was clear - God is sovereign...period. You cannot cull any part of life from the spiritual - all of life is spiritual - all of it. I see nowhere in Scripture where God condones sin for the sake of a greater good...He demands obedience and Holiness.

So, what's your point? That Bush should destroy the greatest Republic ever created, by throwing out our judicial system, in a vain attempt to end abortion? It would lead to civil war, and in the end, probably wouldn't even end abortion. You think this would gain God's favor? I disagree, sir, most strongly. God, I believe, is working through Bush, and America is the richer for it. You are too impatient for change, and you would destroy us, to save us. Good intentions are not sufficient to attain redemption, if through them you destroy what is good.
