While true from a Believer's POV, relying on it for justification is an EXTREMELY slippery slope towards theocracy. 1500 years of state involvement by the Roman Catholic Church (with all the absolutely non-Christian stuff that members of it's hierarchy did), the 17th century Protestant witch hunts in northern Europe (the Massachusetts hunts paled in comparison), the Thirty Years War and, lastly but not least, *Islamofascism* all point to the problems that can occur when the ruling class convinces the demos that they (the ruling class) speaks for God, and that "God Says" to go do something. Actually, though, Biblical Inerrancy and a population well-versed in the Bible that can think on it's own *should* be a buffer against such blatantly non-Christian activity. This is because they should easily be able to determine that certain activities just manifestly go against the tone of the New Testament. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
