    Billions and billions of years ago god got board so she/he started playing a game. She/he split up into myriads of pieces. After awhile we were so caught up in the game that we forgot who we were. When you die, you remember if you do not reason it out before - thou art god as am I

    ~~~~~~~~

    what problems?

    the u s armed services have chaplains from various christian groups, jewish, muslim, & yes, wiccan as well...

    prolly a few others as too, i dunno...

    ~~~

    the most troublesome problem i heard about lately was:
    at the airforce academy, where bible-thumpin' christians cadets were a bit too gung-ho about the ol' proselytizing... & when the chaplain (a woman lutheran pastor) in charge of defusing the situation responded with a 2-hour video seminar on religious tolerance, her suggestions were rejected, her video trimmed down to 1 hour, and her c.o. (a baptist pastor who saw no problem with christian cadets hassling non-christians) compalined: "why do the christians always lose out?" - & the lutheran chaplain resigned her airforce commision in protest...

    I think we need more militant pagans in the army, especially Norse Code fellas.

    There were more militant pagans in the military. The military doesn't want them. It's all about dominating the world in the name of Jesus. Trust me, I was there for 13 years. The Clinton years were the best because everytime he had a bowel movement he didn't proclaim that he was taking a crap for Christ like King George II does, or completely disregard human life like Ronnie did, and he had a set of stones, unlike King George I. But anything controversial, anything out of the ordinary is fodder.

    Due to the seperation of Church and State, noone can actually claim to be fighting in a Holy war. Also, due to this same fact, it is a slap in the face to any Christian that is drafted or that does not want to fight in a war assuming the goverment does not include anyone of a different Religion. Also, what about the people who claim to be in a religion only because of peer pressure or knowledge that they will not be chosen to fight otherwise?

    I think that if the goverment or the people of the goverment want a Holy War, that speration must be stopped but then we still have the seperation of denominations and which one might be better. To me, I wouldn't think of a war as a Holy War but as people working togeather to help their fellow man. God is a smart cookie and he knows what is going on and what can be done for his will to be made.

    Yes so let's help all the nice Islamic folks become Christians or we will have to kill them to save their souls. And after they're all either converted or dead, they'll be happy to share their petroleum products with us.

    And since I'm responding, I will pay you or anyone $1000US if you show me in the constitution where it states seperation of Church and State. It says "Freedom of Religion" and was intended to prevent any government body from establishing an official state sponsored religion that would discriminate against anyone not of that religion.

    You know, exactly the way King George is doing to all non-Christians in the world today.
