		<description>How would the tradition of one man one woman, and faithfulness in marriage, have impacted that number of 6,000 deaths a day? 

How close to zero would faithful, monogamous, heterosexual relationships push that death rate?</description>

U.S. is not a theocracy. Why the quotes?

Besides, if the U.S. were a theocracy, the number one object - the number one objective in the New Testament - would be heralding the evangel   - preaching the Gospel. Benevolent efforts would be in support of the first objective, because you canâ€™t preach to someone whoâ€™s hungry.

This is how most Conservative Christian churches do it.</description>

		<description>Oh, man!  This isn&#039;t even a challenge.  Come on, Fred!  Just like most other things, you are ill-informed about what Jesus said.

Sorry guys - I apologize for the quotes, but I can&#039;t resist:

Mat 25:41  Then He will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! 

Mat 25:42  For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, 

Mat 25:43  I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me with help and ministering care. 

Mat 25:44  Then they also will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? 

Mat 25:45  And He will reply to them, Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least of these, you failed to do it for Me.

		<description>Thompson needs a better scriptwriter.  He sounds much more intelligent in Hunt for Red October, or Law and Order even.  I think his current writer must have worked on Deadwood.  That was a pretty conservative milieu.</description>

		<description>AIDS is Godâ€™s just punishment for moral depravity. AIDS is Godâ€™s way of moral purification. God provided Africa with more than 150 years of opportunity to embrace His True Word. They now have to face the consequences of their brazen rejection of His Salvation.

		<description>I think perhaps, the reason that government is in Africa dealing with Aids, to begin with, is that Christians have failed. To then say that nothing should be done, using the vast resources of government, is certainly callous and un-Christian-like in its nature. Where the means of men fell short, Christ used miracles. Certainly, we are expected to use whatever means we have available, that not one of his children suffer as we walk by. That is what the story of the Good Samaritan teaches. The health of Humanity (spiritual, physical, moral), was the mission of Christ.

It seems that, today, too many of those who would think of themselves as good Christians, turn their backs on the teachings of Christ, in favor of the leadership of men who promise to bring them greater comfort and glory. We seem to have forgotten the wisdom and courage of turning the other cheek, for the false promise of retaliation and revenge even as we pray for peace. We see ourselves as being done unto, rather than studying our own actions. What feels right must be right, because, after all, we are Christians. Indeed, it is a time for reflection and prayer, for we are lost. Perhaps the study and practice of Christ&#039;s teachings in our daily lives is a better route than making our government over into a false Christianity.  Who does Christ tell us are the Blessed?</description>

Maybe you should inform Akinola of this.  He&#039;s the &quot;Anglican archbishop&quot; who&#039;s busy stealing &quot;conservative&quot; Episcopalian dioceses here in the US because he hates gays and women (and the US Episcopal Church&#039;s apparent lax treatment of such--even allowing such creatures to become Archbishops--horrors!!).  
In the meantime, while he&#039;s busy with his homophobic, misogynistic rhetoric, hundreds of thousands of straight men and women (who Akinola couldn&#039;t care less about) in HIS continent are becoming infected and dying of this dread disease.
Of course, I suppose Thompson could be actively promoting the official South African government position on AIDS treatments.</description>

		<description>&quot;AIDS is Godâ€™s just punishment for moral depravity. AIDS is Godâ€™s way of moral purification. God provided Africa with more than 150 years of opportunity to embrace His True Word. They now have to face the consequences of their brazen rejection of His Salvation.

Yeah though I walk through the valley of ignorance, I will acknowledge no reality.  I will walk in ignorance and superstition for the rest of my life.</description>

		<description>If you don&#039;t believe in government, you have no business running for office.
Is it any wonder that Repubs make the worst elected officials? They don&#039;t run for office to make government better. They run for office to destroy the government, and they do a fine job of it.
If you look at all of our major problems today, they were all either created by Repubs or exacerbated by them.</description>

I assume the same people that would hire a Issaih Washington would be the ones that would hire Thompson.

I can&#039;t imagine him getting away with such a cold comment.</description>
