I think it's a cultural thing, to be honest Dylanfanatic - 14/04/2004 11:56:26 PM

No, I mean just certain interpretations, which inevitably lead to applications. I don't agree with everything, naturally, but most of Christianity's core elements I don't have any overly huge problems with.

Gotcha. I too have reservations about a few elements (mostly in regards to sexual practices), but the core elements are fine to me.

I will, I will.

And to think Nashville is called The Athens of the South. Sadly enough, it's likely true. I mean, look (or don't, it'd be best not to ) at Alabama for example

It really is odd. I can't imagine anyone believing it truthfully, regardless of how religious they were.

I dunno. I think it just goes back to the Puritans and all those groups who think that the America is the real Promised Land and that they'll be privileged in all sorts of ways. The comments by LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, and others of their ilk seem to indicate that a large part of their beliefs are tied into some superpatriotic belief in America=God's Gift to the world.

Um, yeah, whatever to that.
