Which is why I think most of us ignore the stories of Rawanda, Sudan, the Congo, Burma---crap the list is too long of places around the world where people are being killed and/or oppressed.<BR/><BR/>She is right.

I responded to her post by how I saw the same thing on the Christian side from the years I went to a little country church till now in the huge mega-churches that are uncomfortably political. My biggest fear for my children is that in this world forgiveness and mercy seem to looked upon as a weakness and that anyone opposing you are your kin are evil and have to be destroyed.
