A perversion of the Christian faith is rife across major media. The depiction of ‘religious revival' in vigils and prayer services, and a debate about the role of ‘evil' in the attack on the World Trade Center has become common broadcast-fare. This is no reason for Christians to celebrate, as we hear that Christians should stand beside Buddhism, Islam and Judaism while ‘worshiping one God under many names.'

This is heresy to the traditional Christian ear........

As a Christian I agree with you. Last night on 60 Minutes, in an interview with Condaleeza Rice Leslie stahl tried repeatedly to cast President Bush as following a Christian calling in his pursuit of the Islamic terrorists. Ms Rice persistently and adroitly kept restating the position as Good against Evil rather than Christian against Muslim. Although this is counter to your argument, it is important that the President of the United States represent all the people and that our constitutional protection of the free practice of religion be honored.

Your argument is appropriate for the churches and the people to follow in their private lives, and certainly trying to peacefully convert others is in order, but it is not a position that can be taken by our government, even a government founded on Christianity.

Robot....I watched the exchange between Rice & Stahl. Condi was splendid in handling all of Stahl's questions and particularly the one about Bush's attitude a 'religious man'!

Ron C..... Bumping what Robot posted in #5....exactly how I view this issue. It is GOOD vs. EVIL!
