I can't see what wrong with a theocracy anyway. As long as the keep religion out of it. Regardz Colin J Davies

'... help America fulfill its vision of justice and prosperity for all.' Who is all? I fear it means 'for all Americans'. 'Cause I can't believe current US government would include people 'not being for us' in their prosperity plans. And what do US religious leaders say to US plans of an Iraqi invasion, under which surely the Iraqi population would suffer most of all. Does this accord with justice for all??

Theocracy isn't all that bad. It works in Vatican, none of the residents complain:) KaЯl wrote: I fear in a few months GWB will begin to have visions. You're too late. Bush already mentioned his ME vision:)

I heard a discussion on the radio recently that something like 50% of people in the House of Representatives believed in creationism and think it should be taught as a fact in schools in the US. They were talking of people who seriously believed that the earth was created something like 10000 years ago. Debbie

They guy speaks with a religoius group and that means we are becoming a theocracy? What would you have him do? Arrest them for defying the moral authority of the state? "Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an art." Charles McCabe, San Francisco Chronicle

Arrest them for defying the moral authority of the state? That would be a good start. All those idiots like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, et.al. should be sentenced to life in prison.

From the article: "But governments can and should support effective social services provided by religious people, so long as they work, and as long as those services go to anyone in need, regardless of their faith" "Declaring that discrimination against religious charitable groups should end, the president said, "If a charity's helping the needy, it should not matter if there's a rabbi on the board or a cross on the wall or a crescent on the wall or a religious commitment in the charter." Just an observation for those who haven't read it. The tigress is here :-D

Nothing wrong with that at all. Some of the Christian Aid groups (Tear Fund spring to mind) are doing amazing things out there, and certainly have my support. Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk
