WF:“One of the arguments I keep seeing is that 95% of world was illiterate through the dark ages. Are you now saying that wasn’t the case?”

K:That would be in the West, WF, not in the East.

Well that's a start at least half of the Christian world could read.

Why is the American government paying for Fatah and both the Sunni and Shia movements in Lebanon and the Turkish hell of No. Cyprus, ethnically cleansed of Christians?

I may not like all the tactics in the war, but I understand what the overall strategy is and why it's so important. Did we like having communists as allies during WWII? No, but they were allies against a greater more immediate threat.

Does that make you proud WF? Are you satisfied that the non Protestant heretics are getting what they deserve and are you happy your money is paying for it?

Why would you even think that. We may be opposites on Christian doctrine, but I would never wish to see any Christians harmed.

And WF, do you really think that we went into Iraq to bring the blessings of liberty and democracy to that benighted land or did we go in to whack a guy we thought posed a threat to us and make an example of him...

Why not both?

How does any American excuse the monstrosities of Kosovo and Lebanon and No. Cyprus and the destruction of 2000 year old Christianity in Iraq? Short of saying that those Christian communities were not products of the Protestant Revolution and thus heretics, no American can!

This statement makes absolutely no sense! I can't believe you even think this.

American exceptionalism allowed all churches to come and be a part of this country. They did not exclude EO, or RC's, even though they had not been so kind to Protestants in the past. A huge portion of our population is RC, I have never heard them complaining that there is some sinister plot afoot to see Non-Protestant Christians hurt.

Do you know that there are about 20,000 house churches in Iran now? I just read that today. I would imagine the same would be true of Iraq, where people are seeing Jesus in visions or in dreams. God is working there. We need to pray for them.
