And this one ... Think about the multitudes of Christians that voted for Clinton while you read it. Observe how many people evade, rationalize and drive their minds into a state of blind stupor, in dread of discovering that those those they deal with -- their "loved" ones or friends or business associates or political rulers -- are not merely mistaken, but evil. Observe that this dread leads them to sanction, to help and to spread the very evil whose existence they fear to acknowledge. And finally ... Something for Clinton voters to think about. An irrational society is a society of moral cowards -- of men paralyzed by the loss of moral standards, principles and goals.

Agreed, thinktwice! But let's think about Clinton. Most of the objections to his behavior came from Christians (and religious people in general) in this country. Why? Because, for them, he presented a horrendous and sinful role model for their children. But it is not an 'irrational' society paralyzed by the loss of moral standards. It is a selfish and stubborn and sinful society. It's perfectly 'rational' for a man to commit adultery (because it brings intense physical pleasure) - when he thinks that he can get away with it (when nobody will find out). Clinton is a highly 'rational' man. Of course, what he did was (for Christians) immoral. Clinton commits many acts which are extremely selfish.

We seem to agree on Clinton's blatant immorality, but you seem to think that selfishness is wrong.

Is it evil to selfishly care for your own family first?
