They are as willing to kill Muslism as atheists and christians. If they felt that they could gain something (other than galvanizing the currently spineless and terrorist-harbouring Canadians) you can be assured that they would.

We aren't out of the woods yet, my Premier, Lorne Calvert is an ordained minister with the United Church, Xians are still by far the majority, [anicdotal] but the number of those who actually practice is drastically lower than that of the US [/anicdotal]

Yes, I must pray for a genuine revival there, one of those which spring up just when the devil thinks he's winning the war on the human soul.

Benjamin Franklin did, during the "Great Awakening" which so greatly impressed him, he called it "wonderful" in his autobiography. But then he was a truly open-minded skeptic you don't see much of around here.

You met Benjamin Franklin?

Radorth never changes. My comment to you was clearly about your mentioning of the Devil. Did Ben Franklin also believe the Devil was gonna get your soul?

Sorry,but if douting the existence of Satan as well as the "war on the human soul" makes me a closed-minded skeptic,sign me up!
