Faith is in the promises
written in the Bible, which assert the righteous and supremacy of God. In scripture that says "and EVERY knee shall bow, and EVERY tongue confess, that Jesus IS the LORD" than that is a promise to the believers that all the world will embrace Christianity. Since it isn't happening the way they would like it to, as in America, we now have a representative population of all forms of religion and beliefs and wosrt for Christians, those who, by reason alone, choose to negate the very existance of God itself. From Christian Soldiers: (read entire post here)
"As Americans we enjoy the right to religious freedom, to worship or practice the religious beliefs of our choice, away and apart from government interference or dictates, for indeed, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Christian Soldiers have no respect for this view of American law, and no longer are they satisfied with their own freedom to believe what they wish, but are pressing forward with their religious political agenda to try and establish their own religious moral laws to be forced on everyone, by placing their own religious leaders in government office, thereby, thrusting Christian beliefs and moral principles on free citizens, making their agenda the law of the land."
Tyranny comes when power is attained. It is Tyranny that oppressess the views of others and forces the view of the powerful onto all, without mercy, without reason. The Christian Tyranny that is expressed in some of the blogs is the reality of what is to come when those who uphold the selected verses and commandments from the bible that suppress the free will others gain the means to change our constitution and state laws and are able then enforce these views on everyone. The Inquisition follows.

I've read their blogs, West.
And those are indeed passionate opinion blogs. I honestly didn't see much evidentiary value for Christian tyranny. BlogIt is a microcosm at best, and I don't put as much value on this medium as a portend of true trends or occurrences as others do I suppose.

Yes, faith is the substance of hope and the evidence of the unseen. My brother is a baptist minister and his daughter is a lesbian. It is pitiful, he hasn't spoken to her for years because he thinks she needs to be healed and she would just like to have a dad. I still have hope, but the evidence of it getting better is as yet unseen.

I'm what you would call a moderate Conservative, West.
I tend to find a middle ground in everything, never seeing anything as either black nor white. If faith needs solid evidence to back it up (and I'm not disagreeing here), what documented evidence does anyone have that Christians are tyranizing the country? I have heard much of this here on BlogIt and have yet to see real studies or evidence concerning this.

morale:
"A strong sense of enthusiasm and dedication to a commonly shared goal that unifies a group."
(from Webster's Dictionary)
I am a Conservative female married to a male and we have lovely children, and that's all I would have expected any person calling themself a leader to lead me into at the tender age of eighteen. I am disappointed and deeply hurt that other people took the reigns of leadership in our world and ruined so many years of my life. It was bad for my morale.
Morality: What is good for one's morale.
