This is what the world needs today!...A heart's, that undivided with the Word...The Magnificat, Mary's song of celebration when the lowly at heart will be put in the position where God show His Greatness for those less fortunate with a humble heart and a people of faith... Let us concerted praying for a peaceful transformation.. And let it begin from where we are, from our hearts, from our connectional churches, fellowships and religious organizations...Blessings!

It's a sad day when the loons and Dobsonian stooges are so close to the seats of actual power. What is Canada thinking? Here in the US we toy with letting these guys get close to power every election cycle. But then we wake up and realize that a President who does not believe in evolution is just plain stupid and then we don't elect them to anything beyond the school board or Senator from Kansas.

But "Chief Of Staff"? Hmm, a non-elected post? Way to go! Influence without accountability!

It's the future, just like Old Pat Robertson said..."stealth" is in.

We should give equal rights to GLBT. They really need more support and concern in daily life. I know some hidden bisexuals choose the online service **BiLoves dotcom** to come out, enjoy their lives as bi, explore their sexuality, etc. It's very hard for them to be open bi.

While everyone's views and affiliations should have an equal place at the table in a democracy, I think too much hope in the influence of Christian politicians is misguided.

Governments make laws, they cannot change hearts. The essence of Christianty is transformation through belief. Sure, vote your beliefs. But much more importantly, live your believes in a humble and winsome way.
