The reason I done that is he asked what religion and gave examples so I ask Are you Christian in reference to since he is a Chrsitian then he should seek that a Christian government be in place.. that is all. See how things get messed up... did he tell you he got offended or is that just the way that you read it?</div></div>

Judging from the fact that YB's been on here for several more years than both you and I have, and this is the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks that he's asked for posts to be deleted or deleted his own after speaking with you when I've never seen him do that when interacting with anyone else over all the years he's posted--I'd say I'm reading the situation about right.

I know I'm requoting this piece but I want to speak directly to this statement: I don't seek that a Christian government be in place because I'm pretty sure given the way of the world today that it would be the powder keg to kick off a full blown Religious World War. Does me thinking that mean you're going to question whether or not I'm a Christian? Because I'm using common sense and don't want everything to be all-Christian all the time in the world in order to keep relative peace intact?

I hope & pray God's will be done. That's all we can do. Let the government do what they will, and let God do what he will do in the world--we'll see who gets their way in the end. There's no need in saying that the government needs to be inspired by God, because if God wants to use the government to do something, He will. If He wants to do something w/o using the government, the government can't stand in His way.

It's almost like this obsession & desparation to get the government to be God-driven is undermining the fact that God himself is capable of anything He wills, regardless of who's in office. Why should we try to force Christian ideals into government when God's going to have His way in the end regardless of what imperfect human beings on this earth do anyway? We're forgetting His omnipotence by trying to force His agenda on others. Let Him do His thing.
