America's response to September 11th attacks should not be either/or: either repent and accept the attack as a result of national sin or take retribution against those who committed the attacks.

An international war against terrorism is right and good. But we're foolish to think that there's no correlation between this attack and the many ways that our nation has acted with complete disregard to what God has taught in the Bible.

If our founding fathers were here, I have no doubt they would lead us in national repentance. And quite possibly in the war against terrorism.

If Ben Franklin were here he'd probably kick you in the balls! I haven't felt so mad at organized religion since I read "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry god" years ago in parochial school. You are weak, you have to cling to this ca-ca doodie poopie created by men who were conceived and born into their flesh no differently than you or me. You religious folk strengthen my resolve to cling to just one idea that I find credible from JC: "let no mortar or brick be placed together in my name, THE TEMPLE IS IN YOU" Interpretation: organized religious institutions are a farce created by the common man. period the end.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Rev 2:5

For those Christians in this forum. I have a few words to say to you. Why are we becoming that which we fear? Why should we terrorize a population already on the break of colaspe? Lets Be God's healing Arms and Scream for Justice, Peace, and Mercy? We have what we want. Law, Grace, and keep Jesus as our Prince of Peace. Otherwise do we become children of the Prince of Darkeness(Terrorists our selves)? Let us let our Special Forces capture Ben Laden, pray for this to happen. Then let us be Jesus' Loving Arms.

Don't let the Enemy Distroy America. Embrass your Enemy, the ones who love Peace. And then tell them you fear Lawlessness. Cause Lawlessness becomes Terrorism. We need both sides. We need the conscience(mercy) that the Liberals give and they need the Law we can give. Lets be God healing Hands, not Satans hands of Death and Distruction.

Thank you for a most timely post. Now that the US is creating some kind of "homeland defense" tsar, he could do a lot worse than put those words right on his office door.

Incidentally, the same text was used by Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, in his Oratio contra Turcos.

Powerful prayer to St.Michael.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, in the name of your Son Jesus we ask you to thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
