I love your name! I'm an ashamed Canadian as well - although proud of the contributions given by those that fought the intelligence and hot war of the 1930s and 40s. They were real patriots. Clearly their wisdom will die with them.

I think most mature Christians, although we believe in an after life, are obedient to the command to live life one moment at a time here on earth. We are not eager for judgement day or the destruction of our world. Moslems on the other hand, seem to live for some pagan promise of a harem in space.

Welcome aboard, fellow ashamed Canuckian! No doubt you've seen some of the Canada bashing on here. Sadly, much of it is deserved, IMO.
