CJD of Jefferson, ME What it comes down to is this;
I would rather live my life as though there were ultimate consequenses for my actions, and find out in the end that there were not, than to live freely as I chose as though there were no consequenses, and find out in the end that there are.

Something tells me that you don't hear "well it was fun while it lasted" that often in Hell. And if you're next thought is "yes, but I don't believe in Hell"... please refer to my first statement.

Magnum Ralph of Eureka, ME Here is info on a Obama's United Church of Christ (UCC) that can be found on www.tucc.org. Substitute the word "white" for "black."

You tolerance preachers elected a racist. Oops!

"Our History
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.'

And now, their "10-point vision:
