“I think your “apparently” goes WAY beyond anything you can reasonably hold Palin accountable for.”
She hasn’t condemned the foreign policy which is destroying Eastern Christianity has she?
“You are either ascribing to her things she never said, OR you are unhappy that she believes what all Bible-believing Christians believe. NOT believing that God has a plan puts you in the distinct minority of all Americans.”
You think so? I suppose it depends on what the plan is. If by that you mean that there was a script for my life and I simply follow it, well, I sincerely doubt that the majority of American Christians believe that since as we all know, the majority of American Christians are not Calvinists and I know that the majority of Christians in the world don’t believe that.
FK, it will come as no surprise to you that I don’t accept Palin’s theology of God mapping out a plan for Palin’s life anymore than I can accept that her talking in tongues will enhance the security of this country or the well being of the people. In fact, as I have said, I think its downright dangerous and not just for Americans.
Frankly, I haven't heard Palin speak on foreign policy yet. But of course, her job is simply to reflect McCain's views.
I don't think there has been any recent foreign policy that has been targeted against Eastern Christians for the fact of them being Eastern Christians. No one here has anything against Eastern Christians. Further, if any party is more pro-Islam it is the Democrat party. They are pro-Palestinian, they got us into the Kosovo mess, and they support terrorists' rights.

Yes, I agree it depends on what the plan is. However, the Orthodox position as I understand it is that God has no plan at all. Man decides the course of history. That is what has been argued to me. I think most American Christians would disagree with that.

I don't know if she has, but if Palin has said that God has mapped out a plan for her life that would make her a mainstream Christian. ........ Although she doesn't now, I know that in the past she attended a Pentecostal church. To my knowledge there are no confirmed reports of her ever having spoken in tongues. The left has tried to pin that on her, but have come up empty in terms of facts. Do you have a credible source for that ever happening?
If you do not, then it would appear that what you consider dangerous would be her view that God is in control. I would suggest that if God really was in control, it would be most dangerous to the Apostolic Church, not America or the world. :)
