As Christians we may have differences but we do have love of Christ and this is truly the time to unite.

They will report this but they won’t report that the one that they bow too will be impeached if he signs us up for the UN garbage on Dec. 7th?

You don’t really expect the Catholic Church to take a stand, do you?

Exactly.

America has INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. Which Islam and Obama means to take away. we are not a collective- all having to serve one Islamic religion.

You can CHOOSE to be Christian. You can Choose to eat meat.

I can choose to be Christian and choose not to eat meat.

etc, etc, etc.....

What is expected from an organization largely funded by the west , but has a group such as Africa... 83 nations - mainly backwards muslim dictatorships- moving en-masse via the UN?

And thats Africa. Add in the mideast.

How can we expect better knowing that?
