We do not disagree on this. Actually, my statement about legislating "Christian" behavior was not directed at those who do not claim Christianity. I do not deny that there are people who behave in a very moral way, yet do not believe the tenets of Christianity. Rather, it is pointing out that it is futile to try to force a particular set of values (based upon a particular belief system) on people who do not follow that belief system.

This is not to say that a Christian cannot take a political stand on issues that face society: capital punishment (there are Christians on both sides on this one), pornography, abortion and many others. It just means that we have to debate the issues on their own merits, not whack people over the head with our Bibles and think that is going to convince them.

No, I am not trying to start a debate on any of those issues

. I am just trying to clarify how I believe that Christians need to interrelate with the rest of society. Part of the problem with my previous post is that I also post to a couple of forums on Christianity, and I lost track of who my audience was in this one.

Ok, how far can we drift from the original topic?

Anyone got any other good things to bring up?

Yes, but are the Diamondbacks going to make a move before the trade deadline?

Edit: Oops, the original topic was marginally sports-related, so I don't know if I really switched to a new topic.

Not exactly good, but I lost all of my AI Patcher source files when I had my Motherboard replaced (& HD wiped out)

What a bummer.

Now I've gotta find the time to rewrite the code before I can add support for mods.

At least I can download EXE from the Boards here...
