A bit off topic, but very interesting to hear. Some of the views of these Christians are so offputting that it makes me doubt my own faith. What if they got it right, you know? At the end of the day, God is sometimes showing a really harsh side in the old testament, for instance. I once visited a Christian forum, and these people were right up there with some of the most radical republicans we see here, plus some and with faith to spur them on. It's miles from what anyone I met face2face actually believes, but because they are so strong in numbers in Christianity, they tend to set the tone a bit. Hence that article I read - trying to make sense of them. Plus it's the language issue - their views are easily accessible, while people with a more similar interpretation to me, tend to write in other languages that I don't speak. Even more puzzling,many of them aren't well to do themselves, and could become financial victims of a medical disaster any time. But on this one I am just confused, not worked up. Whatever is done on this matter is happening within the borders of the US, to Americans - so it's not my problem.
