Pelosi knows the Constitution? Are you kidding? Are you kidding?!?!?

900 times a day ... and in all probability, about 450 of them are unborn girls, and I'm guessing they're not too healthy afterwards. "Women's health", indeed.

I'm not an attorney either... The courts have ruled that because of the 14th amendment, the first amendment and most of the rest of the Bill of Rights is also binding on the states. Look up "incorporation doctrine". Whether this is due to a strained interpretation or not, I can't say, but Wikipedia says that the original framer of the 14th amended said that it would make the first through eighth amendments apply to the states. In any case, since I live in California I'm glad that it's been interpreted that way. I'm pretty certain that our legislature would outlaw evangelical Christianity and probably Catholicism if it had the power, and probably any faith that took the Bible's words on homosexuality seriously.

Did Obama send out a memo ordering his staffers to use the word "unprecedented" in all their communications? It's seriously starting to make me barf. That, and "historic". I hope I never hear those two words again.

"The most open and transparent administration in history"...

In my personal life, I have evolved from someone who thought sexual pleasure was one of the most important things in life, to a person who has seen that this is nothing compared to the joy of having a relationship with God, and that it is worth giving up on some of that fleeting but utlimately empty pleasure, in order to avoid the things God has told us would harm our soul and harm that relationship with Him. I pray that Matthews someday undergoes the same evolution.

Matthews is right about the wolves using the pulpit to exploit this. He's just wrong about which ones the wolves are.

Can't wait to see what Michael Ramirez does with this slogan. This is just too easy.

I have read the Good Book, all the way through more than once, and am continuing to do so!! Why do you assume I haven't? In any case, I think you're absolutely right that this has to do with God's continuing Work in us. But you're talking about "Biblically illiterate Christians", but Greg's offhand comment makes it seem like he thinks there is no such thing--either you're Biblically literate or you're not a Christian. Sounds like you don't agree with him there. Or maybe I'm erring by assuming Greg meant what he said.

"Entire Bible"? No. It's "the Word of God". When Billy Graham preached to people, and they heard the Word of God, many had faith and believed. Did Graham have to *all* of God's Word before they had faith? No. Did these people automatically become "Biblically literate"? No, of course not. If you're trying to argue that one has to be Biblically literate to be a Christian (as Greg seems to imply), your argument falls far short. (P.S. When Paul wrote the passage you're referring to, he hadn't even read the Book of Revelation since it hadn't been written yet. So apparently he wasn't Biblically literate by that standard either. But he did have faith, right?)
