This is my point, you think your right at whatever the cost.Those who crucified Jesus thought They were right also. You do not have to believe what I believe to be my friend, you just need to work with me toward a comen goal. When ever the right fights among itself, the left cleans house. This young man died doing what he beleived God wanted him to do while not harming anyone. He worked to better himself and help others, wont you do the same?

Sir, this is a discussion of Christianity, not politics.

Reminds me how some commentator recently, I think it was Rush, dug up a quote from Abraham Lincoln about a particularly vicious Copperhead (seditionist) who held some office at the time. Lincoln said that the Copperhead's seditious words were more responsible for stirring up insurrection than the boys who actually carried out a recent crime against the Government and the Civil War.

Lincoln threw the office holder in jail!

In the same sense, I believe our beliefs determine who we are -- and determine what we do. Our beliefs our powerful. The truth is neither you nor I know if the dead young man "caused any harm" or not, right?

But it is pertinent to discuss, in a generalized way, the religious cause for which this boy was working for when he was slain.
