[Alberta's Child]

It's one thing to use the Bible for spiritual guidance, as a personal moral code, or as a source of poetic quotations in public speeches. Using it -- particularly the Old Testament -- as a religious foundation of our nation's foreign policy is such a bizarre notion that I question the mental stability of anyone who makes such a suggestion.

For one thing, you'll find that none of the nations in the world today bears any resemblance to what was commonly understood as a nation back in Old Testament times. In fact, the basic structure of a modern elected government is utterly incompatible with a Biblical concept of a nation/state. If you read the entire Bible from cover to cover, you'll find that a totalitarian government was the normal state of existence for the entire period of time that it covers.

Wow....you are way out there AC.

The Bible is the bedrock of Western Civilization and you might note that where Juedo-Christian culture exists that those cultures generally flourish as opposed to others.

But be my guest in denying that and thy maker.

You have the right to be wrong. Gaia bless you.
