Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I am still confused by this, is`nt christianity traditionally thought of as "turning the other cheek" etc, being christian minded as being tolerant and charitable etc? or are those times gone and a new style of christianity in vogue?

See, I'm confused here. Not being in the US, I don't know that much about ACLU, but my Pagan friends out there are all really upset at the existence of ACLU, because from their perception it seems to place the rights of Christians above those of any other religion. I know that they all think they would have more freedom to practice Paganism if ACLU didn't exist. BB Peter Peter H Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
