It was mainly about the Miss California gay marriage issue, which I think she had every right to say - don't we have free speech!? I don't agree with her, but I think she's entitled to her opinion. However, that's not what I found most interesting in the article.<br /><br />About eight paragraphs in the article, Ann says this,<br /><br /><em>"Christians aren't people who believe they are without sin; they're people who know they're sinners and are awestruck by God's grace in sending his only Son to take the punishment they deserve.</em><br /><br /><em>This is in contradistinction to liberals, all of whom believe they're on a fast track to heaven on the basis of being 'basically good' people -- and also believe that anyone who disagrees with that theological view is evil."</em><br /><br />I don't like to pair a religion with a political view. Aren't there people who are Christian and liberal? Or, conservative and not Christian? So, I don't know how you can say that "liberals" as a whole have any particular views about heaven.<br /><br />Is this what's she's trying to say, or did I miss something?<br /><br />You can read the whole column at <a href="http://www.anncoulter.com/">http://www.anncoulter.com/</a> . Then, post a comment here and let me know what you think!<br /><br />Peace and blessings,<br /><br />UU Christian<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5621533146045088614-6344430645110985750?l=christianuu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>UU Christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12644427041800366416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621533146045088614.post-37083753003801151632009-05-16T15:07:00.000-07:002009-05-16T15:11:09.946-07:00"If you are a dreamer come in.<br />If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,<br />A hoper, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer,<br />If youre a pretender come sit by my fire,<br />For we have some flax golden tales to spin.<br />Come in!
