Well said, Mick.

Thanks for the info on The Gospel of Thomas, Liland. My quotes of "Jesus" are based on traditionally accepted Biblical verses, without getting into the issues raised in the Jesus Seminar, etc. Even if you accept the King James version of the Bible as is, you can still refute a lot of the spin that some current "Christian" advocates put on its "message" for our society and government.

One thing that, to me, is really clear is that the attitude that American lives are worth more than the lives of Afghanis or anyone else does NOT jibe with what the accepted Bible says was the teaching of Jesus.
