As I write this, I am watching a Fox News broadcast on the Waco holocaust. They did not really have rights to keep and bear arms, due process, etc. That so many Christians echoed these sentiments is frightening. It opens the door that much more to potential for persecution of Christians in the United States. American society is just as regimented as many European societies which we deride as socialist.
Christians are no different than secular folks.
They deny God has other children scattered over the hills and valleys of sectarianism. Please see the remarks after paragraph 9. In Cal Thomas' words, it is much easier to control people than to love people. They believe God's elect are found only within the borders of their own enclosure. Please see remarks after paragraphs 9 and 12.
