Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


The authors -- both good friends of mine -- believe that Christians need to be well informed in order to argue the case about these new technologies and what they really mean. This book is going to help Christians sort out the arguments and see through the propaganda.

I hope you’ll read this book and share it with your church, and you can find out information about it on our website. The secular world wants us to pipe down; but as Christians and as citizens, we need to speak out when it comes to new technologies that may lead us down the seductive path to a Brave New World and killing humans.

For further reading and information:

And the Theocratic Voice is heard...
". . . and I truly hope you get used to life in the future Christian republic that we intend to build on this portion of the North American continent."

Response to Robert Lee
Robert,

Much of your counter-argument and confusion over what I said is due to a formatting problem with this forum. (Or I got too clever in formatting my message.) I sent it with Colson quotes indented and in color in an attempt to make who said what plain. All that got wiped out when it posted and everything got run together without quotation marks. Sorry, but you are attributing some things Colson said to me and vs.

You do get some of my views correct and I stand by them. I voiced opinions to which I have given considerable thought over a lifetime. It should be OK to do that and for you to respond.

One of the most easily defensible of my arguments you ignored in your response. That is that this is going to happen in several places in the world no matter what you want or believe. I'd add that it will happen in countries with which the U.S. competes strongly and which have little or no Christian influence - certainly not at the level of mass culture.

Of course, you don't have to go to one of those countries to get treated in the future if you need it. Your choice. But this Genie is out of the bag, Robert, and all the U.S. laws and all the praying in the world are not going to make this global issue go away.

Not even Robert E. Lee is likely to change my mind. See you at Appomattox?
