Do you need a government official, a president telling you that Islam is a great religion, a religion of peace and a source of comfort?
I don't need the government to tell me anything about religion. Why doesn't the president refrain from promoting Islam? Why does he choose to continue to comment on religion--Islam?
All Christians, regardless of their profession or position in life, are called to be witnesses for Christ. The government shouldn't be involved in religion, but Christians in government still can publicly practice their religion as individuals. Now since President Bush has demonstrated his willingness to make public declarations about religion, I don't see why he wouldn't witness to the Truth in which he professses to believe.
What else do you need the government to do for you?
A lot less than they're doing for (to) us now! I wish the government would end it's involvement in prescription drug plans, government schools, etc.
You have an excellent point.
BTW, did you happen to do any work with the Keyes campaign or radio show?
