Comments Before Re-Election [After Re-Election] "I was sure that I had been losing my mind for the last 3+ years, unable to figure out if I had lost my faith or if people en masse had been duped (or maybe that was me!). I became a Christian 14 years ago and the Lord brought faithful, wonderful, Spirit-filled brothers into my life who encouraged and sharpened my faith in Christ over the years. Never had I been around people with such kindred spirits. Recently though, people that I had SO MUCH in common with shocked me as I was against the war in Iraq and they were (seemingly) blind in their devotion to a president they considered “Holy” and “for Christians”. I could not figure out why they thought (and think) that way and I do the very opposite. I thought that the basis of my beliefs was biblical and could not assume that theirs wasn't. But it was so drastically different from mine that I really had to pray about it and see if I just hadn’t exposed myself to that “infamous” mainstream and allegedly liberal media so much that I had lost biblical perspective. After much deliberation, discussion, prayer and Bible study I continued in my beliefs, which actually mirror the statement you have on your site. So thanks for being faithful to the Lord and His Word first." "I just wanted to say thank you for your website. I appreciate how you tackle the tough questions. I agree whole-heartedly with you on almost every single issue. Hopefully God will bring more and more believers to your site to get an honest Godly opinion about GWB." "I came across your website and am thrilled with what I am reading. As a Christian who is not happy with the current administration: its decisions concerning war; poor stewards of the nation's check book; protection of the upper class through tax cuts; poor record on education, health care, the poor, the elderly, etc. are just a few of my concerns. You seem to address most of these issues head on and I will be referring your website to my Christian and non-Christian friends who are open-minded about the truth. I am quite involved in an evangelical congregation that is vibrant, growing and preaches the truth about Jesus Christ and, not surprisingly, my family is one of the only ones without a "W" bumper sticker in the parking lot on Sunday mornings." "Thank you so much. Jesus said it will be done unto us as we have done unto others. If we care for the sick, feed the poor and forgive our enemies, then God cares for us in the same way. If you judge your enemies, starve the working class and make health care impossible, God will care for you in the same way. It has amazed me that Christians don't get this principle. It amazes me that we can be Pro-Life and Pro-War. That they can think that God will judge gays but not judge those who approved killing innocent people (and yes, 10,000 innocent Iraqis are dead and those who did not stand up in Christ's name are partially responsible). We need to hope that WE are on GOD'S side. If we think that God plays favorites among the citizens of the world, that Americans are suddenly "the chosen people", we've got it wrong. God looks at Iraqis with the same love as Americans." "Although I don't share your beliefs, I do respect those tenets that your belief in Christ stands for, and I applaud you for your honest assessment of our current administration. I cannot help but wonder about the faith and beliefs of Christians who proudly proclaim that they are pro-life but speak about the death of the innocents in Iraq as though these people were expendable. Although I have never assumed that all Christians were so blind, most of the rhetoric I have seen from Christian "leaders" had me wondering. Thank you for showing me that there are true Christians in this country who don't use the name of Christ to hide their sins."
