Because a few months back nmh said he lived in the US.
I DO live in the United States - though well traveled beyond the U.S.!
Maybe my other replies will help straighten you out on what Christianity is and how the body of Christ works.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm having a discussion with an Obama supporter. There is a certain narrow mindedness that happens when it comes to what Christianity is and what the body of Christ does. The same narrow mindedness happens when Obama people view Republicans that are conservative.
Suddenly, like Obama people, there is this skewed view of what a Republican is and in this situation what a Christian should be doing and ONLY that activity should a Christian be doing. It's incredibly shallow and ignorant among other things ... with the bottom line being a method to fit some ugly and ridiculous stereotype to validate their own distaste for either conservative Republicans or in this situation Bible based Christians. I don't allow ridicule and mockery to be a weapon against genuine Christians.
