I asked for my post to be deleted. Just for anyhow. :)
One of the points of the program was that the steadfastness of those martyrs convinced others of the truth of Christianity, and it was why the Roman Empire, and thus the western world, were converted to Christianity.
I like to think that the steadfastness of President Bush will reap rewards down the road. I know that I hold him up as an example to my grandchildren. It may be that the generation of my grandchildren will be patriotic, Christian, and pro-American. I pray that it is so.
