[QUOTE="UberLutheran, post: 14856788, member: 25161"] And no, PFAW is [b]NOT[/b] created for the "express purpose of keeping tradtional (sic) Christians out of elected and appointed positions in government." You can read PFAW's mission statement [URL=http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=2859]here.[/URL] Or, you can read part of their mission statement below: I have yet to figure out why so many conservative Christians [b]ASSUME[/b] that they are the only "true" Christians; and why they insist on foisting their agenda on other people, Christian or not, who don't happen to believe the way that these conservatives do. Conservative Christians [b]do not[/b] have a monopoly on God, on Christ, or the Scriptures. I, for one, really do not appreciate the audacity of many Christian conseratives to presume they have the right to speak for me, or to tell me that my opinion isn't "valid" because I don't believe as they do. Yes -- I [b]am[/b] a liberal Christian; and I [b]am[/b] a dues-paying member of PFAW; and I'm active in precinct, local and area politics; and I [b]do[/b] canvass and work for the Democratic Party at the local level -- and I'm an active, tithing, Bible-believing member of a church even if I [b]don't[/b] read the Bible the same way as "Christian conservatives" and even if I'm [b]not[/b] a Republican. Christian conservatives [b]do not[/b] determine the "validity" of my relationship with Christ and I will not stand for them trying to assume they have that right. I'll say another thing -- I [b]didn't[/b] enjoy [u]The Passion of the Christ[/u]; and quite frankly, if I were going to write and direct the movie I'd choose Luke/Acts which at least has the temerity to try to portray an actual history of the work (and Passion) of Jesus, and to assign blame where blame actually belonged ([i]not[/i] "the Jews" but the Sanhedrin and the quisling Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who was trying to keep the Romans from invading the area)! Too bad I didn't attend law school -- I'd be doing everything I could to secure a Federal judgeship -- and yes, I [u]would[/u] rule against corporations and [u]for[/u] individuals; and I'd start opening up the government so we could see what's going on behind those closed doors! :mad: :mad: :mad: [/QUOTE]
