		<description>It is oh so amusing that the very crowd which insists there is no black and white only shades of grey when it comes to morality and religion can only see stark white and black when it comes to history. 

The history of humans is certainly shades of grey, because humans tend to miss the mark at being good and are never quite as evil as their opponents allege. 

There is room for debate on the Old South. NO, I am not pro-slavery! Look at the slavery now in the world and you will see it is a very complex issue being that often the only options are to sell yourself as a slave or starve to death.  Can you prove me wrong on that? Then please solve the problem.  Don&#039;t be ignorant of history.  

 I suggest you all read more and talk less.  Members of these same groups - Wilson&#039;s to be specific, are adopting multiracially by the boatloads and some schools that are certified by his organization are far more racially diverse than the traditionally highly academic private schools in their area.  
I know at least five families who have moved from all  white neighborhoods to multiethnic neighborhoods in order to send their kids there. They aren&#039;t sorry a bit and are convinced that school choice will do more to integrate neighborhoods than anything else.
When we surveyed our parents as to what was most important to them about our school amongst the top five answers (of about fifteen options) were that it was racially diverse.  Do your homework. You sound like the very judgmental morons you accuse others of being.</description>

		<description>Thank you, Casey, for the informative article. 

Although these people think they represent the Christian faith, they do not. They are the people of whom Gandhi spoke; they alienate others.  I am disappointed to see Mr. Colson associating with them.
I am a Christian; the Messiah whom to whom I give worship was crucified because he refused to excuse the evil inclinations of &lt;i&gt;all &lt;/i&gt; men. And he came back to life from death so that all people would know that he has defeated this kind of evil, which is resident, believe or not, in all of us.

If these racists ever read their Bibles all the way through, I hope they&#039;ll notice this passage in Revelation: (as a song sung to the Messiah) &quot;You were slain, and purchased for God with your blood men from &lt;i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;every&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; tribe and tongue and people and nation.&quot;

Christ died for the sins of all men who will accept his cross instead of their own self-righteous hate and error.

		<description>I believe Colson (christian dominionist) and Wilson (slavery apologist) are nothing more than a mutual admiration society 
(me-me-me-me). A trend is emerging; this is the story of the two movements holding hands to increase numbers in order to create &quot;gang land&quot; style radical violence to further their desire for power and control. This is not about religion, race or any belief system--it is about behavior of aberrant control freaks that is not quiet illegal, but eventually spirals out of control until they do break the law. Movements like these that turn to terror as a form of patriot rebellion are pathological, unstable, and a force to be reckoned. They are true believers of fanaticism...like the t-shirt idea...</description>

		<description>Jen good point!
&quot;I think Gandhi said it best: “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” It’s sad how often this proves to be true.&quot;

Reminds me of a guy who said, &quot;I don&#039;t want to go to church -- there are hypocrites there&quot; -- I responded, I go to work to see hypocrites but I don&#039;t go church to see them.  In other words, there are also very wonderful people espousing to be Christians in churches.  We seek 
G-d first, then his fellowship. And PRAY for the best !

		<description>This type of attitude is appalling to me on all levels - the fact that they tie it to religion is as bad or worse. It is people like this that cause me to have to explain myself when I identify myself as a Christian but not like these folks.</description>
