"Are you, or are you not, defending Laura Bush's incredibly poor Christian witness? Would Paul, or Jesus, or Peter have praised a sister who makes a joke about going to a strip joint? Is that--or is that not--your Christian witness? Let's get specific."

How about you spend your time worrying about your "Christian witness", and let her worry about hers.

"Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he WILL BE MADE TO STAND, for God is able to make him stand."

A Christian is FREE to love God and do as he pleases.

Spiritually immature legalists - so accurately depicted by the SNL "Church Lady" character - just HATE to hear that the sins of Christians have already been paid for.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under live robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good, will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ C.S. Lewis

That's good advice for everyone--especially Christians in the public eye. It would be very good advice for the Bush family indeed.

Murder? Adultery? Theft? Covetousness? Really? You have a very free world in deed--and it sounds something like Hell.

I would caution you, in the strongest possible terms, that you are unfit to be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ because you have turned it into a false-grace anarchy.
