Snip: <Cleveland, Ohio -May 31, 2005 - Letters to the Editor

Gilbert Cantlin, Fairview Park
A member of my church gave to me a copy of the Ohio Restoration
Project. This project is led by so-called Christians who have a plan
for Ohio. The project will target 2,000 pastors throughout the state
to become "patriot pastors." These patriot pastors will be briefed
on a specific political agenda and asked to submit names of their
parishioners in order to increase a database to 300,000 names. These
pastors will be asked to place voter guides in their church pews.

Ken Blackwell, Ohio's secretary of state and governor hopeful, is
named throughout the document. Blackwell will be featured on 30-
second radio ads promoting this group's agenda and supporting
the "Ohio for Jesus" rally set for the spring of 2006. At the end of
the document are the words, "America has a mission to share a living
savior with a dying world." >

3. God' word

Say the Bible doesn't mention destroying society after society and you're against God. Don't want people to die over religion? You hate America. want democracy and freedom? You're an atheist bound for the gas chamber.

Got to love Christianity.

I don't get it either. If this was a Jewish group or Muslim group they'd be screaming all about it. But if you do it you're persecuting them. :crazy: As a Christian myself it drives me bonkers how selfish others can be.
