Do you honestly believe what you read on Freerepublic. Whenever it deals
with Europe it is simply inaccurate and bigoted. So I do not know the truth
of that jailed Lutheran pastor, but doubt whether the report from
Freerepublic or Demski's rant are true. Fortunately I know that it is not
typical of Americans as a whole who tend to be far more sensible and
balanced, like most who post here including Pim.

It is very difficult to feel a bond with other Christians who rubbish fellow
Christians as do O'Leary and Dembski on uncommon descent, or when Nelson
rubbished my late Christian friend Arthur Peacocke, or when AIG types
rubbish all sorts including Davis Young etc etc.

Can you explain to me why so many Creationists whether YE or ID seem to
consider it is their divine calling to speak so unlovingly about their
Christian brothers and sisters, and at times doubt their faith in Christ
