6. What? Is this going to be an election about the christian right
or the right christians? All others need not apply? I am of the opinion and have had this opinion for years is the only thing wrong with Christianity is no one has really tried it in its full concept.
There was a separation in the bible if I am not mistaken. What was it? render unto ceasear etc etc and render unto G-d etc. etc.

I try my best to show many on the right their understanding is all wrong. Take for example, I believe it is found in the book of james where there is a brother and sister in need of food and clothing. This one man comes up to them ( i call this man of the religious right) and he sees their plight and all he does is ask them to pray. They pray and then he walks away. The brother and sister are still in need of food and clothing.

Now another man ( uh huh this man is a liberal ) walks up to them and sees their plight and he asks them to follow him and he takes them in and feeds them and clothes them, and then the miracle happens....uh huh He then asks them to pray and give thanks unto G-d for their blessings bestowed unto them.

This is the example of works and deeds. Now who was the better person? This is the way I see liberal folks understanding what is meant in so many of the examples jesus spoke of.

I do thank you
Ben David
