I see plenty of light. It's in the Bible. Good peoples' best attempts at illuminating the earth have resulted in a brief, dim glow compared to what might be possible.

You speak of seeing the light in the Bible...and yet seem so lacking in the Biblical charity and grace when it comes to your view of your fellow Americans.

You can slam and condemn this country all you want....I and others on this board still can see the light of God's Word doing a wonderful work in the lives of many Americans today.
It's ironic that with your cynical and pessimistic outlook you presume to be so much better than everybody in this country you feel qualified to condemn as evil and dark.

Come on, you're fooling yourselves again. As though the Bible commands me to be tolerant and satisfied with evil when I see it. Why are you on the attack? Did I call anything you do evil? Do you think I don't praise good when I see it?

And you're making hugh assumptions that aren't true. So do I see "God's Word doing a wonderful work in the lives of many Americans today". Well put. And it is probably true that in many ways this country is still the closest to what it should be of any.

What you call cynical and pessimistic I call low tolerance for that which isn't right. Many people in this country and others have far greater adoration for mammon and the cult of humanity than is called for. Some have deluded themselves into thinking that is optimism and God's way when it is the opposite. Do you consider everyone who expects a punishment from God to be a nut like you think me to be?

It's ironic that with your cynical and pessimistic outlook you presume to be so much better than everybody in this country you feel qualified to condemn as evil and dark.

There you go again with this wild defensiveness. Of course I think my behavior is better than pornographers and abortionists. Did I say I am superior to you or anything you do?
