Words to live by"While it may be fairly said that Mr. Lincoln entertained many Christian sentiments, it cannot be said that he was himself a Christian in faith or practice. He was no disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. He did not believe in his divinity and was not a member of his Church. "He was at first a writing Infidel of the school of Paine and Volney, and afterwards a talking Infidel of the school of Parker and Channing.... "If the Churches had grown cold -- if the Christians had taken a stand aloof -- that instant the Union would have perished. Mr. Lincoln regulated his religious manifestations accordingly. He declared frequently that he would do anything to save the Union, and among the many things he did was the partial concealment of his individual religious opinions. Is this a blot upon his fame? Or shall we all agree that it was a conscientious and patriotic sacrifice?" Subscribe Buttons                    | |
Appalling, but
...I would suggest to the advocates that they find better allies than the freak job that posted this. Holland has recently referred to me personally as a white supremacist, has called for the death of Elizabeth Edwards, said that Mrs. Edwards' cancer was a divine punishment on her caused by her husband's running for the Presidency while white, written extensively about his mental illness and joined the 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
If that's the kind of ally you want, go right ahead. If you want credibility, you'll choose more wisely.
End of message.
