[Abraham Lincoln] "in great contests, each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong."

[Elsie]He [Lincoln] left out the fact that just maybe, one of them is TRUE!

No he didn't.

Re-read Mr. Lincoln's words. His logic is correct; your reading comprehension is questionable.

Cordial suggestion: rapid-fire from-the-hip postings may not be an optimal strategy.

Less is often more.

"Both may be, and one must be wrong."

Fearing that such pedantry may be required by some 'logically-challenged' posters, I'll offer this supplementary parsing of the logic here:

1. IF A, then NOT B, OR

2. IF B, then NOT A, OR

3. NEITHER A NOR B.

Mr. Lincoln was a brilliant man, of undiminihsed international stature. I hope he remains a hero within his own American Republican Party.

What part of MAY slips past YOUR comprehension?
