69. exactly my point, too
I like how they stop short of saying that Christianity will be mandatory.

Those who promote what he's promoting need to define which Christian principles they're talking about... Protestant or Catholic? What about Jewish principles, which was the foundation of the Christian priciple? Once the country is all nice and christian, what will be their 'platform' in regards to Jews or Muslims or Buddists or Hindu or other non-Jesus based religions?

And when they get their little utopia, exactly which sect is going to be the official Christian religion of the US? What is going to happen to those who refuse to change from their belief to adopt the official one? Would he sanction out-right murder or imprisonment and/or attainder through heresy laws? That is the reason why there is a separation of church and state.. because the church was the state in the countries from which our founding fathers came.

None will be forthcoming with their plan, which smacks of deceit, which isn't supposed to be a christian trait. They're supposed to tell the truth all the time when asked. The fundemental-cases are trying to open a door through which even they would refuse to walk. This is about control and domination of people and their options, not about the principles upon which they should be living. They've forgotten the "Nero mentality", which they're wanting to indulge on those who won't tow the line, was once used brutally on them.
