*** But the important thing is...
Does it make you again pretend not to see the unbridgeable chasm between the Mormon cult and Biblical revelation?***

Man, dust off another of those FR Meteorology awards. BibChr just painted a gloomy weather forecast for Utah!

You said what I was going to say....and I agree.

No doubt the place will be over-run with young men in dark suits weaving strange tales of idolatry and discord.

Same as before.

[DeathfromBelow]

If I were Pres. Bush, I'd make sure that disruptive people like Graham were excluded.

Well there goes the seperation argument in the Constitution.

[Captain Kirk]

Well...then we disagree. No Islamic country has ever allowed freedom of Christians to evangelize (even Turkey) that I know of. The most tolerant among them follow the Koranic rule that Christians should be allowed to freely practice but as second class citizens who are not allowed to evangelize.

I simply do not think that it is possible that an Iraqi government will be an exception, nor do I think the U.S. would insist on it. Please note that Saddam (by Islamic standards) was a secularist and he primarily oppressed the more pro-Islam people, like the Shi'ites. The more likely scenario is that a more pro-Islamic regime will arise in a "democratic Iraq" as a backlash to the Saddam's secularism.

If there is a chance that any country would allow evangelism by Christians it would probably be a post-revolutionary Iran. By many indications, a significant part of the Iranian population is sick and tired of Islamic fundamentalism. Even in such a new goverment, freedom to evangelism would probably be viewed as too radical. Let me note again that even Israel does not allow this for Christians. Perhaps pro-evangelists should start by putting more pressure on Israel (allegedly a democratic paradise) to allow evangelism.

From a practical point we stand to benefit from their embracing a more Judeo-Christian value system. Additionally, we (the Christian west) must demonstrate that we are willing to counter Islam's militant expansion in a quid pro quo exercise. When the Wahabi's realize that their activities are costing converts and Islam is shrinking they may change their tune.

Wrong. Once Christianity is embraced a people breathe the fresh air of liberty & freedom like never before.

[AppyPappy]

Where are the atheist organizations offering to send in thousands of food and medical kits?

They are busy not building Habitat houses.

[AppyPappy]

graham might be a nice guy, but don't you think he'll be out on his ear in short order?

Didn't GW Bush invite a radical Muslim to give a prayer?

[F16Fighter]

"The Spanish Inquisition can't help but come to mind."

I don't think the Papal dictatorship of 500 years ago is involve in this case, Sparky...

Nice try.

[AppyPappy]

Christians havbe spent the last 2,000 years killing anyone who disagrees with them in the smallest matters of dogma

You are the truth are complete strangers.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

even Israel does not allow this for Christians.

I have many Christian friends in Israel who would disagree with you.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I agree with you.

I was referencing the LDS missionaries and our favorite LDS poster.

[Illbay]

Not if I were Pres. Bush.

[AppyPappy]

Illbay says stuff just to get a rise. If he doesn't get one, he just ramps up the rhetoric. You have to learn to ignore it sometimes.

[Illbay]

I see the possibility for good if people will keep their heads.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

LOL.

[Illbay]

FWIW, I agree totally with you. My point is that coming in with arrogant guns blazing will not be effective, and may complicate a host of other things.

[AppyPappy]

Dont worry the LDS missionaries will flood in there ...They are soul brothers ..Polgamy is a religious principle

Trolling. Trolling. Trolling
Keep those dogmas rolling
