You are worried that the religious Right might succeed in forcing their values onto us? I am worried they might fail.

You dramatically increase your value to others if you always maintain a calm and pleasant manner.

Each person begins life with a head start in some areas and a handicap in other areas.

Once you admit a lie or a slander into your ears, you can never totally rid yourself of its effects.

We really have no choice but to pray and encourage a return to an America steeped in Judeo-Christian values. It is either that or taking our chances in a society with no values at all. For all Americans the former carries certain risks, but the latter spells certain doom. For now, we should not be deflected by theological debate from the life-saving tasks awaiting us. There is work to be done. We must ensure that America will continue to be part of God's plan for the world.

How can our leaders be so hypersensitive to the most microscopic of perceived anti-Jewish slurs, yet so entirely indifferent to flagrant and vicious anti-Christian insults?

Only recently has part of America challenged the long-held assumption that America is a Christian nation. Most citizens do not recognize just how quickly we have moved in an anti-Christian direction.
