We must keep God n our Country and the radical lefts who seem to think they r so intelligent should maybe stop and read their American History and see that it was men of Christian Faith who founded this Country!Now is the time for us as Christians to fight the battle for we as christians r having our rights taken by more and more each day-not other religions ours of christianity-does it not make u wonder WHY?why do they fear the name of Jesus soo?We must come together as christians and pray like never before and fight for what is right and moral and stand up for it!We must forget what church we attend each Sunday and unite as christians to keep God in our great Country and we must reach a lost and dying world as commanded by God not me.

Mr. Harris and many others deny the God whom our founding Fathers recognized in our nation’s founding under “the laws of nature and of nature’s God”. Which God is clearly revealed by “the evidence of things unseen” in creation and in every man’s conscience, which revealed truth Mr. Harris denies.

it might be helpful,Richard Land, if you looked at the vast majority of us who are in the middle. The extreme left and right never have it right.

I am a faithful and active Church member and the old “Sin and Salvation” mainline Churches like the SBC are loosing young people who want us to show them how to deal with todays problems in a difficult world. That is why the mega churches who are addressing these issues are succeeding.

Your opposition to abortion and homosexuality has no residence with me. Your support for George Bush and the war in Iraq also counterproductive.

Most importantly, your opposition to Christian family values when it comes to illegal Immigrants is a real abomination.

Dick, I completely agree with you. As someone who is also a moderate to liberal Baptist Christian, and having worked as a youth pastor and pastor, i can say that the young people will not carry on this left/right tradition set up by those of our generation and older. i actually look forward to them taking over, i think they have the capability to make Christians seem relevant to those who are unbelievers, where our generation seems to appear increasingly irrational and irrelevant.

Either you believe in something or you don’t. No fencesitters ever won battles. Remember comments in the Bible regarding those who are ‘lukewarm’? My 23-yr old daughter asks tough questios re:homosexuality, marriage...believing God/His Word requires courage. Sin is sin no matter how much we try to “spin” it. My answer to my daughter re: her homosexual friend required that I present God’s Word to explain we can’t pick & choose the parts of the Bible that suit our situation. Sin is sin. We must individually choose where we stand...therefore, as lovingly as possible present God’s Word as He stated it, not as those less brave would have it to ease their conscience. God is love & forgiveness; we as Christian’s are to share His Word, unapologetically, but lovingly. Be courageous. Teach the young ones how to stand for truth, love, forgiveness & to fight the battle against the enemy to save as many as possible from his deception & destruction.
