[QUOTE="klein, post: 792937, member: 23950"] Which when you think back in History, and the historic churches - it's still hard for me to believe that people were going to church, praying for health and prosperity, while having overworked, poor, slaves working thier lands or cleaning their homes. Or how they killed the natives off, or with 2 A Bombs destroyed so many innocent lives in seconds. Mind you, same goes for the Europeans (mass killings, torture, etc). Public hanging and other brutal executions. - Not to forget the Holocaust. Not that you get me wrong - I'm for the death penality in some cases, but from a Christian point of view - it's totally wrong ! Man shall forgive...... And as many claim, as yourself - America is a Christian society - yet the only country in the western world that still has the death penalty. America also is the only currency that I know of (probably some others around in the middle east), that have the word "God" on it - as in "God we trust" Or uses "God bless America" in many political speeches. Is that any much different then the slogan "God is Great" ? How would you feel if later Afghanistan or Iraq prints the above slogan on their new currency or uses it in almost every politcal speech ? If you ask me, John Lennon had it perfectly right, when he wrote the lyrics to "Imagine" ! [/QUOTE]
