Slippery Slopes

People who constantly complain about slippery slopes shouldn't construct one of their own. Those who see themselves as God's Gestapo should remember that God doesn't need our help. And so-called Christians are bound by their faith to forgive and not judge, lest they be judged. The message is in any case quite clear: WE ARE NOT CALLED TO BE GOD'S ENFORCERS! And let all God's people say, "Amen!"

Some religious leaders on Friday blasted a proposed Missouri House resolution that supports prayer in schools and recognizes a "Christian God," saying legislators are pushing Christianity as a state religion.

"It's an atrocity," said the Rev. Timothy L. Carson, senior minister at Webster Groves Christian Church. "Thomas Jefferson would be rolling in his grave. It's indicative of a movement within one segment of activist Christianity that wants to dominate the rest with their views."

Some lawmakers blamed the backlash on a misunderstanding of the purpose of such resolutions.

The proposed resolution states that "voluntary prayer in public schools, religious displays on public property, and the recognition of a Christian God are not a coalition of church and state."
